Too often, I spend my time writing things to encourage other people in their faith, but I neglect my own spiritual and physical needs. Recently, I became sick with a cold, as many people have. But that cold has lingered, in the cough is at times relentless. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep been almost two weeks, and most nights I’m only getting three to four hours of sleep in broken-up pieces. During the day, I feel fairly normal, but when night comes I become anxious for fear of not sleeping yet again. My request to you, my blog followers, is to please pray for my health and that I might overcome the anxiety that accompanies this lack of sleep. As always, thank you so much for reading my posts, and thank you in advance for your prayers on my behalf.

In Christ,
