I'm Just Tired

I've been really tired.

I used to be tired all the time.  Every day at around 3:00 I would be ready to pass out on the couch.  I rarely take a nap since I started TSFL. Today is a nap day though.

My head is in a fog.  Have I been staying up too late?  Probably.  (Thank goodness I'm done with the Hunger Games trilogy!) 

Have I been getting up too early?  Yes.  And so have my kids.  What is up with that?

The good news is, I am not laying awake at night consumed with anxious thoughts, as I once was.  I am at peace.

The good news is, I am not eating as a way to avoid my fatigue.

The good news is, I'm tired.  And I'm being honest about that.  And I'm going to take a nap.

Food would not make me less tired.  That is a lie I told myself before. "Just eat to stay awake."  Nope.

Psalm 127:2
It is in vain that you rise up early
   and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
   for he gives to his beloved sleep.

  1. A good word. He does give freely, doesn't he? An especially good word referencing "the bread of anxious toil". Love you!
