Can't sleep

I can't sleep. It's 1:00 am and my brain is on overload thinking of all that needs to happen for this move on Saturday. I'm having to decide what to take with us, what to get rid of and what to put in storage. It's the storage part that is making me crazy. There's an spoken reality to it that I can't even talk about now. In the midst of this disease it seems as though it will be like what it is today forever and we will just live with it and that's okay but then you read about the disease and they keep saying it's progressive and I just want it to stop!

The last few days I have been so on the go that I haven't stopped to spend much time in God's word and to listen for what He is saying and I can really feel it. Just before signing on here I read a devotion that comes to my email and it was a good reminder of how dependent we are on Him. It comes from Adrian Rogers.

Dependence on God - a Witness of His Power

BIBLE MEDITATION:2 Corinthians 4:7 - "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:If you’re like most people, you don’t realize your dependency on God until you’re burned out from stress — either self-induced or caused by circumstances beyond your control. Why is that? Paul says it’s because we are fragile, but he doesn’t stop there. He says that God made us this way so that His power may be known through us! Maybe someone told you, “Oh, just tie a knot and hang on!” Sometimes God wants us to let go of the rope because it is keeping us tied down to our destructive habits. We are totally dependent on God so that the love of His Son may be made known to the world.

ACTION POINT: Get a piece of rope and tie a knot in it. Let it sit on your desk this week as a reminder that God is more than just a knot at the end of the rope; He is the Savior of the World!

Earlier today I took my car in to be serviced and then took a shuttle back to Kirstin's house. The driver turned out to be a Christian who asked about our life and when I told him what was happening he said he would be praying. I am so thankful for all who are so faithful to pray.

Something to be thankful for is the yeast infection Tom's body has been fighting seems to be on its way out! YEAH! It's really played havoc with him and makes his throat burn. Hopefully it will clear up completely and stay away!

OK, I'm going to go back to bed and hopefully fall asleep soon. I just don't want to think anymore--thoughts in the middle of the night can be so confusing.
