Dreamscape is a pretty unusual name for a blog considering the fact that I am sitting here at 5:00a.m. unable to sleep. How unfortunate! As I tossed and turned last night, trying to find that peaceful slumber, I began to ponder the reasons that I was unable to find rest. Of course, when you have to awaken around 4:30a.m. to feed an infant, you find yourself in a very percarious situation. . .fall asleep or suffer the consequences. . . you will be a walking Zombie the next day. So, here I am writing about the causes of me not sleeping last night. As I hopped out of bed this morning :) (4:23a.m. no less) I decided that sleep would come no more for me. So, I took my bath, fixed my hair, make-up, etc., etc., and I even cooked a good ole' Southern breakfast for my kids. . .bacon, eggs, and grits(instant-sorry!). In my book, I would consider that being very productive. Surely, I will fall into bed tonight exhausted from the day's activities, but for now, I am enjoying the few minutes of "alone" time that I have. So, why no sleep, you ask? Maybe the sheep were out to pasture? The cause I feel is the realization that I begin to think too much at night. Recreating the day's actions, the people I have talked to, things I should of done, could of done. . . Instead of drifting to sleep, I feel as if I am drifting on a boatload of ideas and thoughts. Maybe if I contemplate these things more before the day's end, I would drift into the sleeping realm a lot faster. HMMMM that is certainly something to think about, isn't it?

During our "busy" hours, we push so many emotions to the side, to get things "finished". We can't or won't slow down, sometimes slogging thru all different types of mine fields.
During our "down time" things that we had put aside can come rushing back. The comment to a friend, or family member. The conversation with the pastor. Fussing at your children, or your spouse. Or even things that happened years ago, the memory of which was triggered by something in your day.
For some of us, it is hard to turn off, when it is time to rest. I have the same problem. The what if's, should have's, something differents. I try to remember that saying.."suffient unto the day the problems thereof" I think that's how it goes.
You have so much on your plate. The kids, the house, the hubby, trying to be what God wants you to be. Worring about not being at work. It's alot. BUT...as arrangers, (wanting to arrange things the way we like them to be)the hardest thing I have ever had to learn was to let it all go, and say God help me..Not my way, but Yours, and trusting that what we have done with our day is just exactly where and what he wanted us to be and do. ANDwith the added benefit of knowing that when we really mess up, we can ask for forgiveness and we recieve it. And knowing that all things work for His Glory, right?
Maybe trite answers, but...that's where my heart is. The thought that God is at my very foundation, my ultimate family, father, whatever...knowing that somebeing, someone..is ALWAYS there with me, for me etc....is my comfort.
SOOOO...in the middle of the night, you are wide awake, take your mind to a favorite place, call your sister, talk to God...it's the perfect time.
