Wake the dawn...

My sleep pattern this month has been...well, interesting. Adelaide sleeps from 8:30pm-7am. Mark could and would sleep anytime anywhere given the chance. So it is just me. It takes everything within me not to wake Mark up for company...argh!

While it was worrying in the beginning, I now see it simply as a phase that will pass.
I appreciate my spontaneous 2AM baths or 3AM snacks.

I play Scramble, a version of Boggle, on Mark's iTouch or I read my Bible and pray.
It seems that I am growing spiritually in the wee hours of the morning. I feel more awake than ever. This entire month has been altogether sobering.

This Psalm in particular is becoming more of a real anthem in my heart through it all,

"My heart is confident in you, O God;
my heart is confident.
No wonder I can sing your praises!
Wake up, my heart! Wake up, O lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song.
I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.
I will sing your praises among the nations.
For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.
May your glory shine over all the earth."

We had an awesome weekend in London, Ontario at a posh hotel (thanks mom & dad)fully equipped with hot tub and fancy cheese, so I can't complain. In fact, I am feeling very VERY blessed and refreshed! Very confident that God is for me and not against me...
even in the middle of the night.
