First Church of God

I've been short on sleep lately, for two reasons.  My family was home for the whole weekend, so we stayed up late.  But also, I've been sick, not getting good sound sleep at night.  It's Sunday night now, time to set my alarm for 5:45.  But I need sleep.  Last week God seemed to wake me up right at 5:45 when I didn't set my alarm.  Was that a fluke?  A coincidence?  Am I just in a habit of waking up at that time?  Does my body have it's own inner alram clock now?  Yet, I sleep in on the weekends without my inner alarm waking me up.  If God wants me up, He can wake me up, right? 

My health is important, I need my sleep.  I fall asleep without setting my alarm.

My eyes open suddenly in the silence.  No alarm.  Oh yeah, I never set it last night.  I am still for a moment, wondering what the clock will say.   I turn my head in anticipation... 5:45 exactly.

I am nudged awake by my Abba Father.  You want to be with me.  You long to have these early morning moments with me.  Amazing.
