Play Challenge #1 - Sleep In
The challenge that I accomplished today was to sleep in. The challenge was simple: pick a night to sleep in as long as we possibly could. Why? Matthew 11:28, reminds us that in Jesus we find our rest. Sleep is a reminder to lean into God's love, and to remember that He's more interested in our trust than our to-do lists.
So, last night, I turned the alarm clock/my cell phone off and made sure I had no plans all day. It was difficult task as I knew that I should get up at a certain time to get the boys ready for the day, accomplish my tasks, etc. To be honest, I didn't even think I would make it past 8am as we have a 4 month old and a 2 year old that have no concept of sleeping in.
8am came and went...9am did too. It was 10am before anyone of us really started stirring. Although it was difficult to do, it was one of the most restful nights I've had in a really long time. I'm beginning to really like this play challenge.
