Sleeping...

Autumn's struggling with sleeping right now. She doesn't make it the whole night anymore. I am sitting here typing this at 11:03 pm on a Friday night...not because I am cool enough to stay up that late, but because I dozed off during the movie (big surprise, I know) and heard her suddenly crying out. Some of it may have to do with the fact that she's had strep throat this week, but I am not so sure. She started this one day last week, being scared when she wakes up in the middle of the night. I don't want her to be scared!
She's pitiful right now, and I just want her to have a good night's sleep. And I am not even saying this for selfish reasons, not this time anyways...I just want her to sleep good. I love her so much. She means so very much to me. I want to protect her, hold her, and keep her safe all the days of her life. She is my precious gift from God!
So, as I type this. She's settled down a bit. Maybe, just maybe she will finish the rest of the night peacefully. I am so thankful that my God knows even the smallest desires of our hearts. Thank you God for watching over her and keeping her safe. I am forever grateful!
