Wide awake....

Do you ever have those times that you should be sleeping but you are wide awake and you don't know why? Well I do and this is one of those. It is not often that I wake up at 4:30 on a Saturday but today did. I know I have a lot on my mind with Jacob leaving for camping and still having to do packing for him, care packages, medicines, etc. I am excited for him! We always say Pine Cove is the best place on this planet! It is just magical, fun and filled with the heart of Christ. I have done my wash for it, bought the care package items and now I just need to write the letters and assemble his suitcase. We go to Family camp each summer and Jacob loves it. However this is a week of camp there without the rest of the family. It will be a stretch for him as he is going and doesn't know a soul. He went to our churches kids camp last year and loved it but of course he was surrounded by friends that are like family and he did wonderful. Jacob is a wee bit nervous about going but I think he will be fine once we get there. So maybe that is what has me up at this early hour. I have decided to try and get some work done as I know I will need to nap later. I can rise early but that usually means I can't make it through the day without a nap! Often times the Lord speaks to me in the night or early morning. So when I wake during those times I am very sensitive. Listening, wondering if he has a purpose in stirring me so early. If you think of my sweet Jacob this week please pray for him. My heart for him this week his knowing more of the love of Christ for Him in a real way, that he be embraced by his roommates and peers and after all I am a mama so for his safety too! Plus, that he gets enough sunscreen and water.
