losing sleep

so it's monday...the beginning of another week- and i'm excited about it. this weekend was rad. i saw a lot of people i hadn't seen in a while, went to a good show, did walkovers in the park, etc. etc. midtown was wonderful- dustin is so great. it's crazy because i feel like he always talks about what is on my mind/heart at the time. God blows me away with that. i was just thinking this week about how the majority of my prayers are so stinkin self-centered & how i need to work on that. so dustin talks about having a broken heart for the city of columbia & all the lost people in your life. hello! just what i needed to hear. i'm not gonna lie, my shirt was slightly wet with tear drops by the end of the night. oh, God.

and last night i literally fell asleep at 9:15pm. huh!? that's crazy. what wasn't cool was when i woke up at 3am & couldn't get back to sleep. i listened to my iPod for a bit, went through the tv channels & then said "you idiot, God probably woke you up to pray for columbia & the lost people in your life." so i apologized to God for being a stupid sheep & got to praying. i wrote down the date & made a list of 10 specific people to pray for by name daily. i hope to get the chance to write the date by each name of when God answers my prayer. exciting. i never went back to sleep, but no worries- i got a nap in at school. yeah, i said it.

i had a break at 11:30 for about 45 minutes while the asst. took the kids to lunch & stuff. i was so friggin tired that i seriously threw myself on the flo, on the flo & set my phone alarm to wake me up. when i woke up, i for real almost had rug burn on my face. haaaaaa. i really did have crazy indentions & marks all over my face & laughed for 5 minutes in the mirror at it. i should have taken a picture, dangit.

long story short, losing sleep is sometimes a good thing. pray for your city. don't get rug burn on your face.
