The Cost of Postage

Today I woke up at about 4:30 after a horrible night terror about my mom. Ugh! Those are the WORST. For anyone reading this not familiar with this part of my life-- I've had night terrors and nightmares a couple times a night for years and years. But some are worse than others--like when they concern my family! They are so real that it always takes a couple minutes for me to figure it all out when I wake up. It usually kind of throws off my day if they are really bad because no matter what, it still seems real and lingers a bit!

So after waking up with that dream... I was just in a sad mood! I wanted to call my mom, but it wasn't worth it to wake her up. She has night terrors too! So sleep is highly valuable in our household when you're actually getting it. I waited, went to school, and then at our 15 minute break around 9, I was able to call my momma. I instantly felt so much better hearing her voice! Phew! It gave me energy for the rest of the day!

Today I decided to start loving others by doing two things A) Writing letters B) Starting a Prayer Calendar      If either of those interest you, hit me up! I thought about what I could do to help people smile and I thought about how much I LOVE to get letters in the mail. Even if they are full of silliness, the fact that someone spent the time writing a letter to me fills me up with joy. I also love to see something in my mailbox other than bills and junk-mail ;)  I'm sure others feel the same way too and I wanted to bless them with that! So I asked for people to give me their addresses if they wanted letters! I hope that this is a way I can continuously show people how much they mean to me! It is easy to do because I can write little bits at a time... time that is too short to get any schoolwork done... and then it will just add on up to a full letter to someone I care about!

I also started a prayer calendar. I wrote people's names and prayer requests on different days on my calendar and will spend time each day praying for that person: for what they felt they need prayer for, and for any unspoken prayers requests they have. Then I will be ending the day by lifting them up for blessings! A couple people actually messaged me about getting in on the calendar... so I am so excited to see how this will bless others!

Cheers to Prayer Calendars and Postage Stamps!
