Yesterday was an off day for me. Have you had one of those days. You feel a little tired. A little sore. A little bit of everything. I have those days from time to time and yesterday was definitely one of them. It was a good day. I had an amazing date with my husband. We laughed the whole night. We picked up Penny, brought her home and put her pj's on her and then to bed. She was tired and fell asleep quickly.
As I laid down to sleep, I did a quick inventory of the day. I felt off because I didn't spend time enough time with God and then my daughter. My morning prayer time was filled with "stuff" I needed to get done. I got busy and spent very little time in prayer. I was definitely a Martha!
And then there is Penny. I really didn't see her much and I was too busy in the morning trying to get us ready on time to spend quality time reading to her or playing.
ZZzzzZZz....zzZZZzzz...
Then in the middle of the night I awoke abruptly to the sounds of screams. They were not her normal sleep noises. They were "I am super hungry" screams. I ran downstairs and made a bottle and ran up. I picked her up and she nuzzled in my shoulder and fell asleep. So sweet. So beautiful. She just wanted me to hold her, kiss her and be near her.
When I laid back down, I was nagged with a hunger and desire to be closer to God. My heart was heavy with prayers for new and old friends. Anxiety began to build and I rolled it over onto Him, nuzzled into Him and "quiet me with His love." Zephaniah 3:17. Isn't what makes God amazing. In the middle of the night, we cry to Him and He is instantly there. In the middle of our office, we cry to Him and He is there. At any and all moments, He is there.
