Starry Night

It was 4 o'clock in the morning and here I was in a freezing cold pool with a few of my best friends. One of my friends looked up at the sky and said, "Look at the stars!" I looked up and was memorized by the beauty of nature. There was a few stars sparkling against the night sky. Seeing the stars and really looking at them took me back to the last time I did this. Last time it made me feel so small compared to the vastness of the universe, however tonight it caused me to feel something different. Tonight I felt important and very special in God's eyes. My friends started to splash each other and I thought about how God knows their futures. One of my friends, we'll name her Hope, is moving away in a couple of weeks. We're all sad about it, but those stars reminded me how Hope is always in God's thoughts. That doesn't just apply to Hope, it is just as relevant to all of His other stars. The lyrics to the song "God Is Watching Over You" ring so true, the chorus goes as following:
God is watching over you as always
You are loved whatever you go through
He's right beside you
God is watching over you as always
And if you think He'll ever leave you
You'd better think again
I've said it before, but I can't say it enough, trust God with all you are. He placed you in your part of the sky for a reason, all you have to do is let your starlight shine for all to see, stare, and be memorized in the amazement of your beauty.
