Ok, here’s a list of prayers I pray in desperation, that I’m not sure God answers :)
1) Please make these four hours of sleep feel like eight!
2) Please don’t let these calories count!
3) Please help me to make a teaching really fast tonight!
4) Even though I haven’t run consistently for 10 years, please help me to play soccer tonight like I did when I was 18!
5) Even though I’m not finished with my notes yet, and still have a power point to make, and its 12:30am, please let me be in bed by 1!
6) Please don’t let me owe that much for taxes!
7) Please don’t let me be so scared by this horror movie that I can’t sleep tonight!
8) Please help me not to get a ticket while I park here! (Jason’s personal favorite of mine!)
9) Even though I’m still not finished with my notes yet, and still have a power point to make, and its now 1:20am, please let me be in bed by 2!
10) Please help me to think of something really creative to post tonight on my blog!
Also, BTW – this is my 101st post! Quite an accomplishment!
You got any prayers that you pray like these?
Tomorrow morning I have to get up around 5:45am. WHAT?!?! Why am I still awake?!?
So I’m going to make this short. I have to go to NJ tomorrow for a meeting with some pastors, and my train leaves wilmington at 7. Ugh. Not “ugh” to the trip or the meeting, but “ugh” to it being so early.
I hate getting up early. I’m not ashamed to say it. I would SO much rather stay up until 3am then get up at 6am. It’s not like I’m unwilling to work, or that I’m lazy either – really – I’m fine working until 2 or 3am. I just hate getting up early.
I hate that feeling in the pit of your stomach that never goes away until after lunch. I hate feeling exhausted when 2pm rolls around. I hate that it’s still dark (STILL DARK!) when I wake up. I hate not seeing anyone else in my family before I leave.
Now, I know I’m spoiled. Much of the world does this every day. I am so thankful that I don’t. My dad did. For over 30 years. He was so dedicated, but I know it was hard for him. I’m not sure how I’d fare.
So anyway – off to bed. Going to bed early (which I also hate). What’s easier for those of you who are reading this? Stay up late? Or get up early?
