Winding Down in Reflection

My beautifully awesome wife is now asleep, along with my blessed baby daughter. I'm praying the Lord gives them peaceful waves of dreams in their slumber as their bodies rest, and their minds take them to blissful places of radiant stars and joyful worlds. Sleep tight, my loves.
I sit in my office winding down in reflection on the day, listening to the melancholy tones of Pearl Jam's "Just Breathe." "I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love. Some folks just have one, yeah others they got none..." (E.V.) Here I am sinking... floating...lost in thought, drifting through the muddy waters of what I attempt to see of my future, trying to leave it all in God's hands.
"The eyes of the Lord are in every place," even in my mind (Proverbs 15:3). There is no place I can go from His presence, even when I may feel lost, vulnerable, or just plain out of it. "Even the darkness is not dark" to Him (Psalm 139:12). He sees through all the crud that seeps into my mind through lack of faith, or lack of conviction, or lack of fruit. And still He delivers me. He restores my spirit. He lifts up my head. He rests my worried mind, and causes my eyes to close in peace, so that even if my faith becomes sight as I sleep...His peace engulfs me like a warm blanket on the coldest night.
Sleep well, clouds, for tomorrow you lift your voices in winded praise as you fly across the sky. Shout on stars! The angels hear your adoration, and in turn bow before their Maker. Lights out...here come the waves.
