Gooooooooood Morning, World! :P

I slept so well last night and I have a small testimony about my sound sleep.

I had not been sleeping well for the past week or so and this could be due to several reasons:

1) The time change

2) Finding a mouse in my room

3) Hearing footsteps and strange sounds at night by my door

4) Thinking about too much stuff going on right now

5) Feeling fearful, even though I know better (this is both literally and spiritually in the sense of fully trusting the Lord)

Anyway, last night at our small group, I told them how I was having trouble sleeping and afterwards we prayed about it. And even though they laughed a little when I brought the matter up (especially when I told them about the mouse and being scared), they nonetheless were so fervernt in praying for me about this issue afterwards. My friend Anna, offered up a specific prayer about sleeping peacefully beginning "tonight"---that is, last night. When she said that, and I was listening to all these prayers go up over this tiny, tiny, almost silly little thing, I felt confident in my heart that surely the Lord would grant this because we prayed for it.

As I prepared to go to bed that night, I felt so sure that I would sleep soundly. Sure enough, I woke up this morning feeling so peaceful and rested and HAPPY! Now some of you might say that's just coincidence. But if you knew how much out of my control it has been to sleep soundly, you would realize that truly, a good night's rest was a gift from God. Simple as that, we petitioned to the Lord, and he granted me exactly what I had asked for just because he loves me and cares for me. :)

I don't ever want to not give God credit where it is due. Even if only one person reads this  entry, at least it is better that He is glorified than that I keep this blessing to myself. 

Be blessed today because He lives!
