Unsettled

Sometimes, it just happens. I mean, yesterday was a good day. I did eat a little close to my bedtime, I try not to do that. But, I wasn’t too far off of a good bedtime routine. Somehow I woke up around 1:30am feeling unsettled. No big nightmares. No big thoughts. Just feeling unsettled.

I tried to go back to sleep. That wasn’t happening. I said some prayers. I did some scrolling. I did some reading. I fell back asleep a few hours later.

I woke up for the day and I’ve been fighting that unsettled feeling today. All day long, things have been popping up in front of me – little snippets of hope. Then there was a video that popped up – a very blunt video about never giving up and thinking beyond the normal. It was very good.

Tonight I am thankful for God sending me smiles today. In hindsight, I should have just blocked off time to completely immerse myself in these snippets of hope and let them marinate sooner. If I wake up tonight, that is what I will do! I don’t think I’ll wake up tonight though, my thoughts are going in a better direction now. I am thankful for God sending hope when I forget to see it. ❤️
