Those of you that know me know that for the past 13 years I've had so much trouble sleeping. I've even been on a VERY high dosage of pills, and that wouldn't really work. I finally had to resign myself to knowing that I didn't sleep much. It isn't that I didn't need it, I just couldn't get it. After the rape the problem was compounded even more.
I am pleased to report that there is amazing news to report! It has been 53 days since our marriage and for 96% of those days (or 50 days) I have slept at least 5, most nights even 6.5 hours! Not only I am sleeping much longer, it is the deep, restful sleep that has been so elusive for half my life!
I think that I can rest because I've started to tap into the peace that God's been wanting to give me, and I feel safe when I'm cuddled beside my husband. I can rest knowing, that he is there to protect me, and that if D fails, God will be there providing His unfailing protection.
Sleep is such a wonderful thing. It doesn't fix all our problems, but it sure makes it easier to tackle them. So, it has only be 53 days, but I'm already reaping one major benefit of marriage: SLEEP!!!
Thank you Lord!
