it’s 3:30am

 

Yes, I realize sane people are asleep at this hour.

No I’m not experiencing insomnia.

Instead I have a story to tell..it’s a true story and it just happened.

Tonight the hubs and I stayed up watching “One night with the King”  it was on netflix and I wasn’t ready to go to bed at 20 till 12am..because I slept all day long..it was a ice day, no school and I have sinus issues so the meds made me do it, sleep that is, now eating all those carbs today well I think that comes with cold weather not meds.

Anyways we stayed up..way to late.

When finally we crawled into bed …the wheels started turning (again!) this time about our future and how dismal the future for jobs is looking.

I simply asked my dh “how're you feeling?”

He always answers me with a question..he is a thinker so to keep me from pestering he gets me to talk.  Smart man ;)

I started to tell him my concerns..and then he shares and by the time we are done talking I’m ready to pray about it. I do this..a lot. If there is anything I know it’s that it’s best to take it all before the throne.

We prayed, really he prayed.

Yes, we pray together almost every night unless we’re engrossed in life or just plain tired.

Don’t think we have it together..quit frequently it goes like this :

Me:  let’s pray

(grab his hand and wait)

Him: you gonna pray

Me: uhn I want you to (thinking: I don’t know what to say tonight..)

Him: you pray

Sometimes this goes back and forth until one of us is “inspired”..or just ready to pray.

See not perfect..just willing.

Anyways..he happens to be praying this time..about everything and I am agreeing and then we say AMEN..

Truth told I only remember one or two parts..but I know HE heard it all so that’s all that matters.

We talk a little more and I’m thinking to myself after telling my dh..”I have no clarity and I’m uncertain about anything..”

Then out of no where, in the dark, arm slung over my head, ready to turn off.

I have this thought..”thy word is a lamp unto my feet and light unto my path..”

Psalm 119!

I shared it aloud …telling my dh that I haven’t read that scripture in a while and haven’t heard it recently either..but it sure did come at the right time.

I love knowing He can call forth the seeds that have been planted during a dry spell.

I am always ready to be reassured even if it’s in the wee morning hours..yeah I’m still up..cause I took a shower and sang the A.Grant version to this psalms, even tone deaf it still sounded lovely..ok..praise worthy at least.

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

and a light unto my path.

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

and a light unto my path.

When I feel afraid

and think I’ve lost my way

Still, your there right beside me.

Nothing I will fear

as long as You are near,

Please be near me till the end.

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

and a light unto my path.

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

and a light unto my path.

I will not forget

your love for me and yet,

my heart is ever wondering.

Jesus be my guide

And hold me to your side

And I will love You to the end.

Nothing I will fear

as long as You are near,

Please be near me till the end.

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

and a light unto my path.

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

and a light unto my path.

and a light unto my path.

You’re the light unto my path.
