I just started this blog and every time I go to write a new post, I blank on what I'd like to write about. And it makes me think as I am getting older that my thoughts have evaded me. I know, shocking coming from such an opinionated young woman (emphasis on the young).
Don't get me wrong...I have SO much going on in my life with a teenager, full time job, holidays, small group, and beginning to work on plans for me and my honey's future. So it's not like I don't have plenty of things to talk to people about or try to deal with and figure out. But I just haven't been able to clarify anything specific to blog about.
I've been waking up in the middle of the night so often lately with thoughts about what's going on in my life or just thinking it's time to get up and start the day at 3:30 in the morning. I never used to get up in the middle of the night.
What the heck is wrong with me? There's plenty of exciting things going on, too...but nothing I feel totally led to break into journaling about. I guess just questioning where my thoughts are right now will hopefully help me clarify what I need to be in prayer about. Maybe that's the answer...rather than thinking about what * I * should be typing about regarding my own life, I should be taking time to pray for all those around me who have a ton of stuff going on in their lives? God knows I have plenty to be thankful for and plenty of loved ones around me who could really use some prayer and encouragement right now.
Well, there you go...journaling today has reminded me to stop thinking of myself and remember to pray! Hope you do the same. :D

yes! That is so good, so true. My mind has been racing the last 2 weeks and so much peace comes when you pray. Giving it all up to the Lord helps to bring clarity and order to my thoughts.
Will pray that you get better sleep!
