One AM...Such a Quiet Time

Well, I felt like tonight was a blogging night...why, because I am restless and my mind is not ready to sleep. It's one am here, and it's a quiet, humid night. A lot is going through my mind because it's just that time. It's been a busy few months and now I have one more busy month ahead. The clock never stops, and my body has started to protest. Signs you need to slow down: you get sick, you are fatigued, you are tired, you can't sit still for very long, and the only thing you can bring yourself to do at night is watch a tv episode or search facebook. Yes, I think all my roommates would agree, our bodies want us to slow down. I think that no matter what the next month looks like, we can just be so thankful that God has sustained us and that he is working despite how we may feel or how much we may get done. He is moving in our lives and in our friends lives, and I just have to stop daily to praise God. I also realized a couple weeks ago that God answered/provided for a huge dream of mine to come true. When I was a little kid, I always told my parents that I wanted to live by the beach someday, and that I wanted to be able to take leisurely afternoon trips to the beach to swim or read or do whatever I felt like. Well I feel quite stupid actually that it took me this long to remember that dream and realize God has provided that in Croatia. I am able to go spend my days off reading and praying on the beach. The sea here is beautiful, though still cold, and the beaches run for miles. (And by beaches I mean rock beaches and cement slabs) I am SO blessed! I need to take advantage of those times because those times refresh me and if I can find refreshment then I know I will push through until July. July is going to be a big month, CM in Korea and going home. But it's a good night to blog. I think of all I could tell you and none of it would be done any justice by my sluggish one am thoughts. So I think it's time for me to just stop fighting sleep and give in...
