Matthew 12:14: "...For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks."
If that isn't the definition of a blog I'm not sure what is. We definitely want to tell you about what is closest to our heart so we usually talk about Hannah and what she's up to. Well, today I feel I must talk about sleep or the lack of it. :o)
Why am I on the computer just after 7am if I'm talking about getting more sleep? It might be the coffee that Jon brought me this morning in bed or it might be the fact that sleep isn't all we need to feel rested.
After Jon left for school this morning I wanted to spend a few minutes in The Word before my busy day of mothering. Trust me, I don't normally do this in the early AM. I usually don't even hear Jon leave. But today I want to share a few passages that hit me this morning:
Matthew 7:33-34: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness...Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest."
Apparently I don't need to go back to sleep. There it was right in front of me. The equation is this: Seek God first = more rest! Praise God! I hope you find rest in Him today!

Thank you for your post & scriptures. I am also feeling so tired today, actually exhausted. I haven't slept well in weeks. I'm really looking forward to catching up on some sleep. I'm putting on some worship music now to help keep me in that mindset. Several people I have talked to feel this way. Maybe we're all due for a vacation :)
I found your entry encouraging tonight as well, seeing as Joey lost his beloved blankie yesterday I have not gotten enough sleep lately! He woke up several times in the night crying and even getting out of bed, and he hasn't taken a nap in two days! So he is exhausted and so am I! Not to mention how crabby he is with not much sleep. So I think I to will try to meditate on those verses when it is time to get up early in the morning! Thanks for the encouragement!
