Reassured

I am NOT a morning person. Anyone who knows me understands that I do not function well in the early hours, I do not say much at all, and I am usually not the friendliest person either. This also worsens as I get less and less sleep. If I go to work tired, I hate it so much more. If I go to class tired I can hardly pay attention. Although, there are several times where I do fine on little-to-no sleep, and even feel rejuvenated. Really it makes sense.

1. I can actually do some great rehearsing when I am tired, it wakes me up and I love it no matter how tired and awake I am.
2. I can show up to church and as soon as the congregation starts praising I am right awake again (assuming it is one of my two "home" churches and not something on the more traditional side)
3. I can also show up to church and work in childcare, and somehow being with kids wakes me up and I just have this energy.
4. Same goes for when I was working in my placements in different classrooms for my education degree. I could be exhausted from exams and rehearsals, but I was easily able to have the energy to handle and work with kids.

This is such a great reassurance, because if those are the things that give me energy, and the things I truly have passion for, I KNOW I am headed in the right direction. Everyone always wonders, how will I know I am doing what God wants me to be doing? I think the fact that I find rejuvenation in all of these things could be God reassuring me that I am doing what I should. It is such a good feeling.
