sleepless night

It's 2 am and there's a prom a couple of houses down from ours. Is anyone else on this block sleeping? I'm not sure how. It's my mom and brother's first night in Puerto Supe. I wonder what they're going to have to say when daylight comes.

It seems too late in the night to take sleeping medication and yet way too early to give up on my beauty rest. In general, I'm a champion sleeper, and so when I'm up at night I usually assume that God has something to say to me. My habit is to spend time in prayer and study until sleep overtakes me again.

I have some questions for God tonight anyway (about proms and suffering and otherwise). If I can come close to Him, if I can hear His voice, it will have been a night well spent awake. Regardless, I'll be looking forward to my siesta today/tomorrow.

My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Psalm 130:6
