God answers our prayers
So after a very busy Easter weekend, John and I decided that we were going to take it very easy this past weekend.? March was a bit of a crazy month and we wanted to use the last weekend of it to get some rest and wind down before launching into Spring.? At around 5 on Saturday morning, I woke up and looked at the alarm clock.? I was so exhausted and as it is not unheard of for our girls to be bouncing out of bed by 6, I was not looking forward to the day.? I decided I needed divine intervention.? I don’t usually ask God for anything other than strength but I needed more sleep!? I prayed quietly in my head that if she saw fit, it would be a wonderful thing if the girls could sleep in until 7.? I would not hold it against God if she didn’t make it happen but I hoped she would see it as in everyone’s best interest.? I closed my eyes again and lo and behold, it was 7:30 in a flash.? Maybe not all you reading this will consider sleeping until 7:30 sleeping in but trust me, IT IS!!? So of course, by way of thanking God, we spent the morning finding a goat for a ritual sacrifice.? Not really, but damn it felt so good we would have!
