Today is the one year anniversary of my blog. Thank you for reading and leaving encouragement and comments. It has been an amazing year and I have been blessed by you.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Proverbs 3:24
Sleep is something the human body cannot do without. It restores the physical body and allows our minds to process and reset so our mental state can remain healthy too. For many, sleep is elusive. Bad things happen in the night, or dreaded things await when we awaken. The wise writer knows this and has probably experienced a worry and exhaustion that goes beyond reason and rest.
I find it interesting that just a few verses above you find the words, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart.” 5a. I know this isn’t a simple sleeping pill, but if you read verses 23-26 you have the knowledge that God is taking care of the universe while we slumber. From the huge picture of world affairs to the most minute details of our personal life, God’s got this.
Seek God’s wisdom because it offers the things money cannot give us: Peace, happiness and security. Remember, He is never wrong so everything is going to be alright.
Love,

That’s what I tell my children when they start to worry everything is alright and God always works it out !
Parenting never ends. I think it gets better though.
