If you have ever really talked to me about kids you would know that I have always said "My kids aren't sleeping in my bed"! Guess what? I have a kid in my bed every night. My sleep is interupted every single night around 2am. He climbs in and tosses and turns until aroud 3 then Jason and I sleep with knees and elbows shoved in various areas until around 6. GRUMPY is what I had become. So, to save some lives and my sanity I decided it was time to do something. 2 months of this is all I could stand so Friday night the girls were gone and Jason was off on Saturday so the adventure began. When I heard the pitter patter of the feet I got up and took Jase back to bed. I explained to him that his bed was his bed and that is where he slept. Kissed him, covered him and left him to ponder. Within seconds...wwwwwaaaahhhhhh!!! He has found himself in an unpleasant situation with nothing to do but cry out. When the crying didn't work he started MMMMOOOOOMMMMMMYYYY!!! When that failed he tried another tactic that was sure to work DDDDAAAADDDDDDYYYYY!!! but only had another failed attempt. In his desperation to escape from the situation he found himself in he started calling out to anything that might help him, MIIIICCCKKKEEEYYY, WWWWOOOOODDDDYYYY but to no avail. I was laying in the living room and thought to myself. Poor guy, all he has to do is close his eyes. The answer to his problem is the easiest thing.
During all that I lay on the couch and ponder what to do next and God said to me "My children do that too" They find themselves in situations they find unfavorable and call out to all sorts of things when the answer is so easy. They just have to cry out to Jesus.
The next time you find yourself in an unfavorable situation and don't know what to do; instead of calling a friend, going shopping, hitting the fridge...try calling out to Jesus! It's that easy and your answer could be as easy as closing your eyes!
