3am

I am a hard sleeper. I usually sleep through most nights, without waking up. Last night was different. I've been battling this head/chest cold for over a week now. Just as I thought I was getting better, I wake up last night at 3am, with a terrible, terrible sore throat and a clogged nose. I was miserable. I took meds before going to bed, so I couldn't take anymore until I woke up. I was wide awake! I sat on the edge of my bed, holding the box of medicine, comtemplating if I should take another med and risk an overdose. I decided that would not be the best idea, so I laid back on the bed----light on, eyes WIDE open, with nothing to do.......... then I remembered some words from Ada. Once, she told me that sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night and can't sleep. She told me that when that happens, she often prays.

So, 3am, wide awake, what else was there to do? I was too lazy to get the computer out, so I just laid there, head propped up, cause that seemed to help with the pain in the throat, I started praying, talking to Him. Then I got sleepy. I think I finally shut off the light and rolled over and fell asleep.

Since I've been sick over the past week, it's been so hard to get out of bed, but not this morning. And get this, my throat was not even sore. Ok, so I had a headache, but that's easily cured with some Alieve. Now, yes, the throat is a bit sore, but not nearly as bad as last night. I thought I was dying, ok, not really, but kinda........

Werid hu? It's kinda like God wanted me awake to talk with him for those few minutes. Ok, so God has His way in His timing, even if it's at 3am.
