Star Light, Star Bright

I once heard someone say, don't pray for signs and wonders because the only thing that will happen is that you'll begin wondering if everything is a sign.

I stopped praying for signs and now I just revel in wonderment.  Oh and I suppose I sometimes just wonder.

I have a bit of an obsession with stars.  One star in particular, mainly because it’s MY star, God gave it to me.

And he continues to give it to me.  You see, I am human and I have doubts about my future.  I have doubts about whether the God of the Universe will ever bless me with a husband to share the rest of my days with and children to run amuck.  I have doubts about whether if that's not in the plan if my heart will be able to stand it.

One night, 4 years ago, on a beach in Mexico, I asked God that question.  God, will you take care of me?  Will you bless me with a man that loves me, unconditionally?  Will you give me the amazing opportunity to have children and be a mother?  And Lord above all else will you make sure that my heart is okay with whatever you give me?  And at that very moment, I looked up in the sky and there was only one solitary star...where as in minutes before there were millions.  And it shone soo bright; I had never seen anything quite like it.  I could have sworn it was a diamond in the night sky...with all the facets and beautiful colors that radiated off of it.

I was changed that night, when God assured me (even when He didn't have to) that HE would take care of me, that His promises hold true.  And he continues to assure me... because you see, last night I saw my star again..and I've seen it countless other times in the past 4 years.

God is alive, He comforts me, and He has an amazing plan for my life.

Last night I didn't know what the star was for, today I do.  Because today He told me my life was going to change, just as soon as I get out of His way!
