Midnigt Thoughts

The view
It is beautiful outside right now. I am sitting outside on the deck and it is about 70 degrees and very windy. And it is the middle of the night. I love my laptop and wireless internet.

The house backs up to a farm with 6 cows. I love it! There is a row of small trees and a fence between our property and the farm. Most of the back windows and the side windows of our house look onto the farm , my bedroom included. I have just rearranged my room and placed a chair in the corner so that I could have my God time overlooking the farm. There must be thousands of trees that line the back property line of the farm before the interstate. There is a large pasture where the cows roam and in the distance you can see the farm house, a small barn and a large red barn. It is quite picturesque. (Of course I cant see that right now! No I still have not replaced my keyboard so there are very few apostrophes, if any. Only the ones that spell check can catch and replace for me!)

I haven't been sleeping well at night for a few weeks. I think God is looking for my full attention by keeping me up in the middle of the night. It is the only quiet time around my house and in my life. I have come to a few amazing revelations in the past week and my ability to function of just a few hours of sleep a night is only from God. Generally a good 8-9 hours is required, but this last week I have had an average of about 5-6 hours. So here I am UP and WIDE AWAKE. Listening and being still. (and updating my blog) Its all I can do. God is speaking cool things about Him and about me into my heart during these hours of quiet and solitude.

I am amazed at creation over and over again. The wind is whipping through the trees. It almost sounds like waves crashing in a beach, one of my all time favorite sounds. Usually I can hear the interstate on either side of us at night, but not now... Just wind, bugs, and Jackson snoring!

I am looking forward to sharing the things God has revealed to me in these quiet hours, probably wont mean much to most of the world, but some of you will want to know and will understand. God has started a cool process in my heart and He will finish a good work in me. Even though it is painful and scary and the last thing I want to do right now... I know He is able.
