2013 Facebook memory
My whole life I have fallen asleep at 10 P.M., (even at sleepovers), and wake at 6 with the sun.
Turning 50 my body started to wake after midnight and stay awake for hours.
Falling asleep became a goal but often I am still awake in bed until 5 A.M., one day I try my mom’s suggestion, drinking Hot Chocolate. It worked once.
Eventually I decided to follow wisdom and work with my body instead of fight it.
Wisdom said, “Do not go to bed before midnight, no matter how tired.” If I need to lay down and take a short nap, I do. Then I wake up and accomplish something.
I believe it is a God setup, making me comfortable typing in the dark to write the book!
It has been years in the making. But God Knows how to time things so it is an easy transition.
First I become comfortable with being awake and trusting God to give me the energy for the day no matter what time I fall asleep.
Choosing Peace, I take the time to listen to podcast teachings and praying for people.
When this becomes a nightly occurrence, I decide to do clean house instead of lay in bed.
About 18 months ago I started typing on my computer daily, learning my scrivener program, getting better at typing, and strengthening the muscles that help me sit at the computer.
Today, I have put a blog post out every day for 21 days. This process has turned my writing a story from day or weeks into one day. Sitting and typing for hours using those muscles even more.
This is the last step before writing that book making me strong enough to type all the hours it will take. This has been a 10 year process.
I believe God is setting up a purpose for everyone. He has prepared a purpose before the foundation of the world.
God Is Good!
