Spending time with God

The last couple of days have been hard ones for me. My skin has gotten really bad and I am just not sleeping at night!! It has been so hard for me, I just feel that I am not myself when I don't have sleep. On top of that, I am working a lot of night shifts and that gets tiring. Also, I feel like I don't see much of Bob anymore. One thing I miss about when we were in South Africa, was all the time that we got to spend together, I just love my husband and I miss him when I am not with him.

That said, I went back to the naturopath doctor, she said she thinks there are a couple of reasons for my not sleeping, one is stress, that maybe lately I have been under a lot of stress and also, the fact that when I get home from work at night, I don't really have down time where I just relax. I just go straight to bed, (cause then I can be with Bob) and I don't give my brain time to relax and so maybe that is why I am having trouble sleeping!

She gave me some sleeping pills and some cream for my skin - I am hoping that they work and I hope the cream will help with my skin too.....I guess time will tell.

So, this past week, I spent one afternoon outside, with my Bible and God and just sat there and it was so awesome! It was a sunny day and it was so nice to spend time with God, I got so much strength, just from reading my Bible. I was even reading Ezekiel and still got so much strength, even though nothing really spoke to me. Then today, after I cleaned the church I drove to Second Cup and got myself a Caramel Coretto, took out my Bible and just started to read. I was just amazed at how again, God just gave me so much strength. When I first got to Second Cup, I was feeling sorry for myself and then, after reading my Bible....God just came through again. I just love when I spend time with Him.

On the way home from Second Cup - a song got stuck in my head.

All in All

You are my strength when I am weak

You are the treasure that I seek

You are my all in all

Seeking You as a precious jewel

Lord, to give up, I'd be a fool

You are my all in all

Taking my sin, my cross, my shame

Rising up again, I bless Your name

You are my all in all

When I fall down, You pick me up

When I am dry, You fill my cup

You are my all in all

Jesus, Lamb of God

Worthy is Your name

Jesus, Lamb of God

Worthy is Your name

When I am sad, You dry my tears

When I am scared, You calm my fears

You are my all in all
