Living by Faith and Caffeine

So I went to bed an hour ago, yet here I am. There comes a point in life where you find it is not worth moving on. The fine line between life and insanity has been long crossed. Madness has taken over and the brain has stopped making it's electrical connections. When you lay down and immediately lose feeling in your body yet your brain won't shut up, this is insanity. All you need is sleep because you have gone to bed before the sun comes up and woken up before the same sun comes up and expect to feel rested and refreshed. Those few hours between the rising sun are a daze and your not sure if you are asleep or awake.

But through it all I can still smile because God is faithful. Everyday I find myself alive by His grace. This week I feel like a tree in the middle of a great drought. I am dry and dying but I know that the Great Gardener loves me and will not let me die. He will bring the rain in his timing. When I have nothing left to offer and can only lay face down. I find just enough strength to lift my head and cry out to God "Help." I can feel him reach down, pick me up, and set me on my feet once again and say "I love you and have called you to this. You can't do it on your own but I know everything you need and will provide it for you when you need it." When I am weak He is Strong.

Now that I have written this out, which may not make any logical sense at this time, maybe I will attempt once more to get the sleep I so desperately need and awake tomorrow knowing that God has given me another day and I will live it to the fullest, praising Him.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
