“When I look at your heavens, the
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful
of him,
and the son of man that you
care for him?”
- Psalm 8:3,4
The same arms that spread the skies wrap you and me in loving embrace. The same hands that placed the stars in the sky comfort us when the world turns its back to us. The One who carved the moon out of nothing and placed it in the sky, sparkling silver in the sun’s golden light, lifts us, too, up out of our troubles and problems and pains, and he sets us in his bedchamber. We are his cherished ones; he created the sunset and the stars and the moon and the sun just for us. Kangaroos and the Serengeti and hummingbirds and spring meadows and the aura borealis, all were created for us! The One who names the stars knows the very number of hairs on your head, and he loves you. The same hands that painted the clouds and sunset and the waves lapping against the beach reach for you, pursue you, and draw you close. You are God’s one and only Beloved.

Listen to 722 for last week Nov 2 You'll like it Louie talks about how God knows the names first,middle, and last of all of us as well as the name of every star He uses Isaiah 40:21-24 which are the identical verses your mom and I studied on Sat I think he's trying to tell me something :)
Speaking of stars....the past couple of weeks ive been noticing the stars more often. In the morning when I go to my car and head to school the sky just looks like a canvas thats been painted with stars. Its amazing.
That was really random but thats ok:)
Later
i need to look at the stars more. i need to submerse myself in creation more often. God speaks through his creation, through the rain and thunder, the sighs of the wind and the velvet sunrises.
