JOY COMES IN THE MORNING!

JOY COMES IN THE MORNING!

 You ever have one of those nights where morning comes way too soon?  The type of night where you lie in bed just anxious.  Your thoughts just run wild in your head as if they were running an ultra marathon but the finish line keeps getting pulled further and further away.  My nights as of late have been filled with a lot of uncertainty.  I find myself lost in ways I never thought I would be before.  But there I lay.  Hopeless in my own despair.  I don't have the answers to questions that normally would just roll off my tongue.  But there I lay.  Alone.  Empty.  Needing answers to questions I shouldn't have to ask.  At some point I finally drifted off.  Even though my heart was hurting, my soul was restless, and in no way shape or form at peace.

 

Then my alarm went off.  And yes I was very sleepy.  But I felt a little different.  As I laid myself down to sleep last night I did so in prayer...which I didn't finish...but maybe God was listening anyway...

My mood was elevated from what it was the night before. For the first time in a long time my vision was clear and I felt focused.  I woke relaxed and calm!  On the way to work, I feel like I hit all the green lights.  Traffic moved a little easier and to top it off, my work crush spoke to me randomly for about 20 minutes, yet it seemed like hours.  Joy truly comes in the morning...
