Ouch!

I slammed my face into the night stand in the dark in the middle of the night the other night.  Ouch!  I'd dropped something and bent over to pick it up, not knowing the door of the nightstand cupboard was open.  I hit hard and was bleeding and almost passed out because I'm such a wimp with blood.  I had to wake Ghaith up to help me get cleaned up.  I'm glad I didn't need stitches.  For a while there, I was laying in bed with a big ice pack on my eye, embarrassed and imagining how bad the scar was gonna be. 

Truth be told, it was 4:30am and I was only then getting ready for bed.  I didn't want to turn on even a little light to help find my way to bed because I didn't want to wake Ghaith up.  I have a problem with going to bed.  I stay up WAY too late.  It bothers Ghaith and he's talked with me about it many times.  He's gotten mad at me for it, been frustrated about it, and worried for me and my health as a result of it.  I scared the crap out of him, waking him up with a bleeding face.  After he very lovingly helped me to get cleaned up, I told him I felt like God had smacked me in the face, telling me to stop the nonsense and start going to bed on time!

I talked with Ghaith about my problem, and about the rebuke I was sensing from the Lord, and I asked Ghaith's forgiveness because what I was doing was hurting him.  He prayed for me (for no scar and for my avoidance of bedtime), and then he held me until we both fell asleep - the way it should be every night, if I would just go to bed on time.

I went to bed last night by 3am.  Minor improvement.  Pray for me please.
