I haven’t been taking the time to sleep

  August 30, 2007

so I started taking the time to breathe.

thanks neeraj. It has actually brought a settling to my jittery caffeine filled unslept body to actually be taking the time to breathe.

It’s amazing what a deep breath can do to resettle yourself.

Remember the valley of bones. ezekial 37. the slain. the dead that god breathed into and from death to life death took on flesh.

I feel like death warmed over. I’ve had so much client work lately, and it will continue through September, that I haven’t had much sleep. Averaging 3-5 hours a night right now.

Just the simple act of slowing my breathing has completely taken away my anxiety about not sleeping. My anxiety about meeting client deadlines. my anxiety about letting the church work slip.

God is breathing life back into me.

  1. Thanks for the post (and the link to Neeraj’s post). Hoping and praying that breathing — really breathing — will become as second nature as breathing.
