Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
You know, I often fall asleep while I pray. Perhaps I should be more ashamed. To allow myself to do the exact same thing that Christ chided the disciples for. But I often have trouble falling asleep and resort to the same old things that they tell us in nursery rhymes. I count sheep, I make mental lists, and occasionally I take Bing Crosby’s advice and count my blessings. But these never seem to do the trick. Prayer brings me peace. It removes burdens and gives them up to God, it brings life back into perspective. These things that keep me up at night are nothing that my Lord cannot handle. My final grades don’t really matter in heaven, my relationship struggles are nothing that I can’t fix with the help of my God, prayer takes my thoughts of my need and helps me to see the need that God sees. It may not be good to fall asleep while praying, but it seems to me, that that peaceful slumber that washes over me so easily is God showing me His fatherly love, reminding me that no matter what I can go to Him for peace and that He is so willing to provide it. That it is so readily available, if I only acknowledge my love and need of Him.
Just thought I should share some of my life on here.
This is Nathan and I visiting kids on our bus route on Saturday then a group picture on Sunday! These kids come to church when their parents won’t, they wake up early and ride out in the cold, but are happy to come every Sunday. To God be the glory! :)
Adding a personal touch to my blog. :) This is me and my lovely other half Nathan Phillips. Scrolling through my blog just became more pleasant, for me anyways.
The awkward moment when…
you read a 500 page book for college only to find out it is exactly like the movie.
Bah, Mr Perfect Screenwriter, you should have written the Harry Potter script.

Until you fall in love with
The One who made it."
