o'dark thirty

I am so glad that I don't have to know it all, solve it all and fix it all! What a mess we'd all be in. It's after 10pm and I was in that fight of "how can I sleep when I still have all these problems to solve mode". That's a useless fight for me. I always know which side of the fight will loose, so with age comes experience, so finally I've gotten old enough (?) to realize I might as well get up and leave the room we're pulling a late shift tonight! Might as well perk some coffee when I'm in this mode!
But why? As a sanguine I'm all about having fun, all attention on me, let the party begin. Oh, do I so easily forget that I'm a choloric-sanguine so I'm also primarily a control freak! I get so agravated at Mr. Phlegmatic Taylor when we are arguing (oops...did I admit we argue?) at o'dark hundred that left to his own self he can start snoring in the middle and as my elbow is jamming into that hallow place in his rib cage reminding him how grateful he is that I was designed from that missing rib (ha ha he he) I will snort out "how can you sleep at such a time as this?" I guess I get so agravated in part because I'm envious, wish I could just decide, well, here is something that I can't control, and I'm not having any fun so I'll just go to sleep and let everyone else solve the problem!
Yes, I'm choloric-sanguine but foremost I'm a daughter of the only King that knows everything, owns everything (that I haven't stolen and put a do not disturb sign on), can solve everything, and by the way have I mentioned He can be everywhere at once? I'm His daughter and He cares for me.
Sometimes it's the simple songs that I remember from 'the good ole days' that mean the most. Songs like, "I will cast all my cares upon Him, I lay all of my burdens down at His feet, and any time that I don't know what to do, I will cast all my cares upon You!" "At the cross at the cross where I first saw the light and the burdens of my heart rolled away..." "All to Jesus I surrender all to Him I freely give..."
It's so easy to sing those songs but takes so much effort, diligence and humility to act upon those words!
