For as long as I can remember I have never been able to sleep well on the cusp of something exciting. In other words I have not been anble to sleep much this week. I have been laying here in my parents hotel room wide awake since 4:15 this morning. Now you may be asking what is so exciting that I cant sleep? There are actually a 2 reasons why I can’t sleep. The first is that I graduate with my Master’s Degree this afternoon, and the second is that in about 35 hours I will finally get to actually meet my (F)amily otherwise known as F Squad! I’m not sure exactly which one I’m more excited about but I actually think it may be the latter one! I have been getting to know these men and women online since October and the day is finally here when I can actually meet them and begin to live life withe then for the next year and beyond! This is why I cant sleep. I think I subconsciously don’t want to miss anything and so therefore my body wakes up. As I sit here typing this it hit me that this could be applied not only to physical life but even more to our spiritual life. How many people walk around everyday spiritually asleep missing out on amazing things that God wants to show them? If we approached each day with this excitement and anticipation, how many more blessings from God would we recognize and be able to receive! I for one want to be fully awake and alert to experience all that God has planned for me! 1 Corinthians 16:13 ” Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” |
