I love night time. And darkness. If you worked with me you would know that i spend the first hour and a half of my day (from 5am to 6:30) with the lights in my office turned off. Im sure im slowly decimating my eyes because i'm also staring at a computer screen the entire time, but it really helps me relax and think.
I've noticed recently that i tend to be in a much more thoughtful mood when it's dark as well. Life just seems so simple in darkness. And i think that might be because we aren't busy looking @ everything that is going on all around us. During the day, with the sun shining down and so much going on in the world, it's really easy to get distracted. And, with my self declared ADD (lol) anything shiny grabs my attention. I notice the difference the most when im riding my motorcycle to work in the mornings. Im riding along and the thing i know that i need to be looking at is the road in front of me. The headlights don't go super far, but just far enough so that i can see any obstacles that I'm approaching. I get bored sometimes and stare up at the stars for a few seconds, but for the most part, i am looking intently ahead. Yes, the analogy is easy to see, but it's so true.
I've also noticed that at night, i want to make a lot more decisions. Things seem so easy and clearcut. My God wants me to follow Him, and i should be doing that and here's how.... do this.... ok, i will.... GOOD. The problem comes when the light and the distractions of my life come back and i'm really praying that God will strengthen me and help me to pursue the holiness that He desires for me.
