Journal Entry for September 27, 2007 Mood
Thursday, September 27, 2007
Greetings, friends!  I had several nightmares last night and woke up at 2:25 and had a hard time getting back to sleep.  After the nightmares, a bunch of stupid stuff kept running through my mind - things I need to do, but not anything important.  Just stuff like phone calls to make, hotel reservations for my husband's business, etc.  I was riddled with anxiety for no purpose!  Now I'm dragging around this morning, trying to wake up.  I kept thinking of this verse:  Cast all your cares on him, because he cares for you.  1 Peter 5:7, and finally went back to sleep.  I am truly sorry for the whiny nature of this journal entry.  You don't have to look very far on DS to see folks struggling with really big issues, not just anxiety and sleep deprivation.  OK, I'm feeling better now just having vented to you wonderful people!  xoxo

    I've had the same thing happen. Your mind gets "busy" and it's hard to get back to sleep. Who wants to start the day at two in the morning! Glad you managed to get more rest.

    I also suffer from insomnia on top of everything else, so I totally understand how that is :( sorry about the nightmares though, thats the worst.

    Here's what I think: God woke you up at 2:25 am because He wanted to have a conversation with you, He wanted you to connect with Him and you did...A friend of mine, when I first found God in an intimate way, told me that when she can't sleep at night, she knows that God won't let her sleep because He wants her to pray or to talk to Him because He wants her to unload her burdens. I have believed that to this day. I fall asleep so much better now because I end the day with prayer and spiritual "venting"...He blessed you in the wee hours of this morning after you thought of the verse from 1 Peter 5...you reminded God of your faith in Him. Just a thought.... :)
