I used to wake up last minute and have to rush to get dressed and out the door, sometimes missing breakfast. A symptom of poor attitude and sleeping habits. But with commitment to develop healthier routines spiritually and physically, I find that I have more energy to do things like cook myself a hot breakfast, actually read and write a good journal (as opposed to the lazy half-asleep ones I used to do on the train going to work), and take out the trash at the right time.
I noticed this morning that despite my bad sleeping habits this week, I had woken up completely fine. I was thanking God in my prayer for just granting me the energy to do what I need to each day and asking him for challenges as well as being able to hear "His voice." As I was writing, a Japanese word came into my head out of no where. I had never heard of it before and I'm not so great at memorizing tons of new words so I followed my urge to just look it up.
I came to find that すやすや means "sleeping soundly"
That is exactly what I was able to do just now.
Having never heard or learned this word before really wonder "how exactly can we hear the voice of God?" I know my prayers are heard... but this is definitely a first for me.
Now.. if only I could be granted the gift to read minds. ^_^
