My Insomniatic Struggle
I am laying here at midnight trying to go to sleep... I can't. "Why can't you sleep," you may ask. The answer is simple... inadequacy. Some events unfolded earlier today that left one of my family members feeling extremely inadequate and unwanted. I had to detach myself from the situation because I have SO OFTEN been there myself. Why do we feel so sub-par? Does God not say we are beautifully and wonderfully made? I still struggle with self-doubt and feelings that I am not good enough. I can only hope that the experience of many tearful conversations with my mother can rub off on my sibling and that I will be able to model what true self-confidence looks like. So, the only thing that will get me to sleep is to remember Psalm 139:14.

Beautifully put Boo. Thank you for feeling the pain and for being a prayer warrior on your "sibling's" behalf. I love you!
