Thank you for sharing, Treva.  When we came to FSCOG almost 10 years ago, we were in Ivan;s SS Class.  He mentioned he was having trouble sleeping at the time so he just layed there and prayed.  I thought, how interesting.  That never left my mind.  As I began to grow as a Christian and found my self awake on occasion in the night I would say a little prayer.  God began to put in me such desires to know Him more....to be used by Him more and in this past year-ish, I have found that it is indeed the Holy Spirit awakening me in the wee hours with definate purpose in mind.....yes, I love it!!  To feel God's presense is Amazing!  Even when it is over heart ache. With so many events in my personal life these past few years I am reminded of "FootPrints".....and my heart aches....not because of what I have had in my life....oh no....it is how many many times have I missed Him carring me?  How many times have I missed His voice guiding me?  How many times have I missed Him calling me to service for Him? I don't want to miss any more.....even when it scares me to death! 

I appreciate your blogs....they remind and help me....as I know all of our experiences help someone....we must share!

Love ya,

Bonnie
