An Interesting Night…

A few nights ago, I had a really rough night, one like I have never had before.  I went to bed about 10:30 which is really early for me, I was actually in bed before my wife which is very rare.  I am laying there Dreaming about Scarlett Johansson…  j/k, I wasn’t dreaming about anything, and all of a sudden about 12:30 I woke up feeling very anxious… almost scarred and nervous…  It was really wierd!!  I didn’t know why I was feeling this way, and I can’t remember ever feeling that way before.  So I wake up and I am feeling very anxious, and nervous, maybe even scarred, (are you picking up on my hesitation to say that I was scarred)…  And all of a sudden I convince myself that someone is in my house…  So I get up and I go on this search for the person who was brave enough to break into my house, the first place I go is in to my sons room, where he is sprawled out and sound asleep…  So I go through the house and there’s nothing…  I lay back down go back to sleep, and 15 minutes later I wake up again with the same anxious, nervous, scarred feeling…  My night went on like this most of the night, I would wake up and walk through the house, check on Tyler, and then lay back down and then do it all over again…  I was thinking about that today, which lead me to think about all the times I have walked in Tyler’s room to check on him, or all the times I would walk next to him to try and keep him from falling, and all the times we will be walking and holding hands, and he will trip and fall but I will grab him before he skins his knees…  And while thinking about that, I wondered if God watches over me like I watch over my son…  watching so closely to help him up if he falls, or to discipline him if he does something that is wrong, or to hold him if he is crying and scarred…  I often wonder if God is attentive to what is going on with me as I am to what is going on with Tyler…  I think maybe He is, or maybe even more so…
