awake

I follow The Gypsy Mama's blog.  She is encouraging and refreshing and real.  I love to read what she writes.  Every Friday, she hosts 5 minute Friday.  Today, I thought I would give it a go.




Now, that I'm a mama I fully understand the meaning of being awake.  Almost eight months ago, I enjoyed 8+ hours of uninterrupted sleep...every night...every single one. 

Now, I wake up at the most random times.  Not because Sweet Petite is awake, but something rouses me from my coveted slumber and I stumble to her room to check on her.  And then I find myself watching her for a few minutes as she sleeps peacefully. 

As I was pondering this today, I realized that my Father watches over me without sleeping.  He is always awake...wide awake.  He watches over me every single minute of every single day.  I take comfort in that knowledge.  I rest peacefully knowing He is on guard. 

"He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber."

~Psalm 121:3

He watches over me.  He watches over you.  So, rest comfortably, knowing He will not fall asleep...He will not let you stumble.  He is keeping watch...always awake!
