As I have told you earlier; I’ve had trouble falling asleep this week. As a result I’ve gotten to bed quite late most of the nights. I just havn’t been tired enough! Off course this also means that I have had big problems getting out of bed in the morning; on that side of the night I have absolutely no problems sleeping!

Last night I brought with me four – 4 – alarm clocks to bed, and guess what: *I woke at 9:45 am* :( Vaguely I can remember turning off the alarms earlier at around 7 am, but that is all I did; turned them off!! I was angry with my self, but had no time but to jump out of bed and rush to church. There only was 30 minutes before I should be there and about 20 minutes drive…..

The funny thing is that I was at the church exactly at the time I had planned. But with nothing more than a pear for breakfast, though. And no sermon(!) I greeted the others and pretended that I had everything under control. Answered questions as good as I could, while writing down some keyword for the sermon on some cards….

The service was in my neighboring pastors church, and he had decided that this should be a “Flower-service”; a service to thank God for all the beauty of our nature. The children had been asked to bring flowers and during the service we decorated the altar with it.

When we came to the sermon’s place in the service I had my cards in hand, but found them to be of no use. The sermon became made just there and then, but I had off course thought about what to say most of the week, so it was not all from scratch. I also had great comfort in the words I had planned to say several times: “*Let go – and let God!*”

Since the “morning” I had told God that this one service I had no time to worry about – so could he please do?! And I also told him that he was the one responsible for the sermon :) I don’t mean to sound disrespectful, but I do believe in Gods power also over a small thing as a sermon; if needed. Neither to say that this is a good way to prepare for service; I think I’ve got a brain for a reason – to use it!! But sometimes it is good to know that I’m not alone! (well, I never am, but you get the idea?!) So as you might have guessed, the service went well and we had a good time together with each other and God.

But still, I wonder if the only ting left for me to do is to buy a rooster!?!! I can’t keep sleeping for so long in the morning. And there is no one else to shake me awake here! So maybe a rooster outside my window??! :lol:
