So my last blog post was about when God wakes you up, this is the part of that story I didn’t tell you though.
The night after I had woken up to pray for the guys, I woke up in the middle of the night again.
I rolled off my sleeping pad, grabbed my phone, journal, Bible, and sleeping bag and headed out into the living room.
I threw all my stuff onto the couch and went to pee. (That’s an important detail.) When I got back to the couch, I curled up in my sleeping bag opened my journal and grabbed my phone to use my Bible app.
That’s when I noticed that it was 12:30, and my reaction went a little something like this, “What the HECK God?!” I just want to sleeeeep.” (you should read that in your best nasal whine.)
And then I heard from the Lord, and this is what He had to say. “I didn’t wake you up. You just had to pee silly. But I am glad you are eager to hear from me.”
So instead of getting up and going back to my sleeping pad, I slept right there on the couch, and it was the best nights sleep I had probably the whole month of June.
I felt rather foolish, but at the same time not. I knew in that moment that I was going to walk in what God asked me to. I knew in that moment that if God wanted to wake me up every night I would roll out of bed no matter how reluctantly and see what He had for me.
The last few days God has been asking me to walk in some hard things. Some things I definitely don’t want to. He has asked obedience from me in areas that my flesh wants to rebel. He has asked me to put Him above all else and it has been hard.
I started the blog with the intention of just telling you a funny story, but even as I type God is reminding me that He has been preparing me for the last few days for quite a while now.
He has been asking obedience in the small things, so that in the big things it wouldn’t be so freaking hard. So I want to encourage you, whoever you are to make obedience in the small things a priority, so when big things come along you know that God is better than your plans.
Also if you wouldn’t mind praying for me, for strength and wisdom as I walk in the things God is calling me to.
Love you all,
Audrey
