I feel tired. I do not get enough sleep. I set a modest target of going to sleep by midnight. I have not been meeting it.
Thanks be to God I have Ben. I defrost the chicken from the fridge before I cook it for him. I take him for a walk in the park. Without him, I will be getting up much later and that will make life more miserable for me.
What do I need to do? I need to go to be earlier. 2300. 2230. 2200 one day hopefully. However, I am not making any progress.
There is simply no way to feel fresh if I do not get enough sleep. Lack of sleep is detrimental to my health. This is my physical body. What about the spiritual side of me?
If my spirit does not get enough rest, what happens to it? Its growth is stunted. It is exhausted. It is not alert. It may miss a bus speeding by in the middle of the road. It has no energy to do anything.
If I want to grow healthily, I need nourishment. I need exercise. I need rest. For my spiritual life to be healthy, I need the Word of God. I need to exercise my faith. I need to rest in the presence of God.
I am tired. I do not want to stay tired.
