Can't fall asleep...
Tonight is one of the very unusual nights when I decided to go to bed early coz I didn't get much sleep the night before....the large amount of REM sleep that I had last night was preventing me from having a good night sleep. After I did my before-bedtime reading, I tried falling asleep but couldn't. Now, for those of you who know me well, you know that it is almost IMPOSSIBLE for me not to be able to fall asleep! I am the type who falls asleep the second that I hit the pillow. If I can't fall asleep in 10 minutes after lying down on my bed, it's VERY unusual. Tonight I was lying on my bed for more than 20 minutes...(haha...I know some of you are laughing)...but this is indeed a problem for me! =P I wonder: Am I too nervous about my Anatomy bell-ringer final? Is it because of the nap that I took earlier? Is it because of the cup of coffee that I had in the afternoon? Who knows....it maybe due to a combination of all factors....I had lots of fun and good food tonight! =) My housemates and I went out for our first annual "house dinner" in a restaurant called Megalo's in downtown Kingston. It was pouring when we were walking there, and another steel support of my umbrella broke as a result of it flipping in the wind numerous times. I REALLY NEED TO GET A NEW UMBRELLA that can stand the strong wind in Kingston. Anyway, before the dinner, I was thinking of what I should get my housemates for a little Christmas/pre-exam treat. I ended up buying each of them a Kinder Surprise...which is something that I used to LOVE...and made a little personalized card for each of them. =)
This reminds me...there are many unopened Kinder Surprises in my life right now that God has given me. I have been praying and waiting...and sometimes I get so impatient that I wish I can just break open the chocolate coating and see what the surprise is...but there is no point breaking open the egg when God hasn't placed the surprise into the egg yet. "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1 Sometimes the waiting gets to me, but recently I have been reminded by one of the verses that a friend of mine uses as his E-mail signature...
"Faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1 By faith, I am sure that the surprises inside the eggs are going to be awesome, and I am certain that I will get my surprises in His time.
