When the Rain Comes, He Sleeps

I remember a story my high school principal told us when we about to take our National Exam in order to graduate from High School. We were so worried about the exam since we wouldn't be able to graduate if we failed the exam. It was very hard, Calculus I was nothing compare to the Math exam we had to take. So story goes like this..

" There were two young goat herders working together for a master. The master had so many goats, each herder took care of 50 goats (he had more than two herders, I believe). The herders would let the flocks grazing in the field, but every time the rain came, they would run and collect the goats and put them in the barn. But one of the young herder's always asleep every time the rain came. The other young herder became curious about his friend's habit. He then observed and he found out that every time the DARK CLOUD appeared, his friend started to collect the goats and put them in the barn, so when the rain came, all of the goats were in the barn already!"

Of course you know the moral of the story, and it wasn't sleeping during the exam.

Those of you who chose sleeping as a hobby know that raining is the best time to sleep (of course when you are NOT UNDER the rain, you should be under a roof or some sort of protection).

I just found out that one of the students is having insomnia that pulling his grades down. I don't know what caused the insomnia, but I know that he's the only one who finds it hard to sleep when there's problem. Well...I'm the opposite. Sleeping clears my mind. I also know Someone who could sleep when there's storm and wind and waves!

I never really noticed that story even though I know it by heart. It's NOT amazing to hear about a carpenter, in a boat full of experienced fishermen(not all of them though), sleeping when there's storm and big waves. He must have trusted them so much to navigate the boat safely to the other side that she slept soundly. The storm must've been so fierce that they had to ask a carpenter to safe them! That's amazing! It's like asking an accountant to map the gene! Well..not exactly like that...He wasn't a mere carpenter, He owns the universe, and the disciples were aware of that!

My friend pointed that out the other day, that if Jesus said he would bring us to the other side, we're going to get there safe-and-sound no matter how fierce the storm is. No matter how complicated the problem is, we're in the boat with Jesus and he's asleep peacefully. Even the Teacher is asleep, why would the students still awake trying to do things that don't make things better? Maybe we should calm down and sleep too;it's raining, the best time to sleep, remember? That's comforting and somehow making me sleepy; there's storm in my head.
