I apologize for the sparseness of blog updates lately. I've been struggling with some insomnia for a few days now. I have to say, it's been a little odd. Usually I have no trouble falling asleep. But lately I haven't been able to sleep. I lie in bed for quite a while, staring at the ceiling. When I finally do fall asleep, it's pretty late and therefore I can't get enough sleep through the night to wake up when I'm supposed to. On Wednesday I thought I would just try to beat this insomnia by just going to bed earlier. It ended up beating me because I woke up at 4:30am and couldn't get back to bed. Fortunately, I was right on time for 8am prayer meeting that morning though:)

I'm not sure what it is that is keeping me up, although many people have been offering suggestions and diagoses as to what it might be. One thing I do know, is that it is increasing my dependence on God. Having tried tricks to fall asleep, and even taking someone's suggestion on some Tylenol PM, I have found myself just praying at night that God would help me sleep soundly. The Lord is faithful and I trust in his care over me.

I'll be back into the swing of blogging soon. I've got some great material to blog about. Listening to these sermon podcasts in the car has been really given me a lot to think about.
