Been lacking some sleep in the past few weeks. Lots of projects, lots of panicking, and I know what to attribute it to: Over-commiting in some areas and under-commiting in others, and of course poor time management. Fortunately, Max helped me tonight with understanding the process for doing projects and the proper way to organize myself for them. He’s such a blessing.
All this lack of rest at night has transferred over to my daily naps, which now tend to go for about two hours a pop. Tonight I completely missed my gym time and barely woke up in time for prayer group. I noticed there were 4 missed calls on my phone, too, but that’s because I turn off my ringer and play the radio when I nap. Ain’t nobody gunna wake me up. Even family knows not to bother me when I’m getting my rest. Things can get ugly.
I notice I’m a lot more sarcastic when I’m sleep-deprived. Pretty calloused, too. I didn’t mind that my project wasn’t up to par today. Didn’t mind that someone said a smart comment to me either. Too tired to care. I hope this doesn’t carry out in my life very often, I could end up being a bitter guy.
Speaking of bitter, it’s time for work.
Your loved.
Thank you, stranger. =)
The Gospel gives us Rest
Because although we are mess…We know that
God is God.
God is at Work.
God’s grace is sufficient.
We are fully accepted.
We are entirely forgiven.
We are being sanctified by God’s Spirit.
We are being transformed by the love of Jesus.
We will someday be glorified & sleep so sweetly.
Rest. Hebrews 4
Hey man, I’ve been right where you’re at. Hah, who am I fooling? I’m there now! Make time to get into the Word, spend time with the Lord and everything else will get done. Hah, guess I should reach my preach and get in the Word right now. The anonymous one is right, that’s the true rest. God bless you man, I’ll be praying. Late!
Thanks for the support, Jose and Nate. I’m slowly catching up (as of Friday) with the physical rest I need. You guys are an awesome encouragement for me. I’ll continue to make an effort in balancing it all correctly. I know on Whom I must rest in these days.
