Mojitos and Insomnia Don't Mix!

Sooo.... yeah.... this last week has been really interesting for me. For one thing, I experienced some insomnia for the first time. And I'm not talking about that I sleep 2-3 hours wake up for a few and do that over and over again! I'm talkin about some, the last night I was able to sleep was thursday and it's sunday and I still can't sleep. So I went to Dallas on the Greyhound on Friday afternoon. A busride that was supposed to take only 4 hours took more like 5.5 hours! Rain, traffic, etc. I feel that this story may best be explained through some form of timeline

1:45p- The time that the but that I'm SUPPOSED to be on leaves Houston. It was overbooked!

2:30p-The time the other bus is supposed to leave.

3:30ish- We finally start loading the bus only to find out that they don't quite have a driver for the bus yet

3:55- The driver finally shows up and we leave

4:55- still in Houston city limits thanks to rain and traffic
*some dude on the bus is coughing like he has the BLACK LUNG!!! Eeew!!!
* This couple sitting across from my smells like eurine!!

845- finally make it to Dallas

130am- decide to go to sleep

4am- wake up
6am-try to go back to sleep
6-1030- give up on trying to sleep
1030am Saturday- Sunday 11ish PM- LONG Time running together!!!
*so saturday night, I go out to eat with Friends and have a Mojito- 30minutes later, I realize, not eating+no sleep+ Mojito= REALLY SLEEPY feelings!!!!!
* Saturday night, no sleep

Sunday morning 615am- leave the house on the way to the airport
730- Plane leaves
830- Arrive in Houston
* Still no sleep

930- arrive at church
1230- Leave Church

Don't actually go to sleep until between 12 and 1 sunday night!

All of this equals the longest weekend ever!!!! Horrible. Back to sleeping normally now, thank God. So yeah, that's it!

Many ask the question, why couldn't you sleep? I realized that I was stressing about a lot of stuff. Stuff that I shouldn't have been! It snatched my sleep. And then, when I calmed down, I was able to sleep that I couldn't sleep because I wasn't resting in God and His promises. So the way that I was acting spiritually made me unable to sleep in the natural. Sucks, huh!?!?
