For some reason ever since coming down to Georgia I have had trouble sleeping. It doesn't happen every night, and there is no pattern to it. I have never had trouble sleeping before and so for awhile I just thought it was a bit odd. And no it's not anything that I have eaten, or the mattress I sleep on. Last night I think I laid in bed for over an hour trying to get to sleep only to wake up at 3, read for a few hours and attempt to go back to sleep after 6 to wake up a couple of hours later because I just couldn't sleep any more. I have resulted to over the counter sleeping pills just to be able to sleep through the night (which I rarely take, only when I know I am on the verge of getting sick because of lack of sleep and just need one solid night of sleep). I am one of those people who needs a good 8 – 9 hours of sleep a night, and well I haven't had that in a very long time. It might sound silly to some, but I really feel like the enemy is stealing my sleep... he knows that if I am attacked in any other way I can either just shrug it off or go to anyone in the amazing community around me to help. But when he steals my sleep he steals my productivity, my attitude, and my concentration. The thing is that I know that I am not the only one who is having this problem. There are several others at AIM who are suffering with trying to get the amount of rest and sleep that they need. So as I take my over the counter drugs tonight, I also ask that you say a prayer for me and for all of us who are serving the Lord... that the enemy would no longer be able to steal away our sleep in any of the many ways that he has been trying and that the Lord would refresh us as we sleep tonight.
