Starry Sky

One night when we were up north Labor Day weekend, we were all sitting around the campfire. My niece Taylor was singing and playing the guitar and we were all singing along when we knew the words. I asked if she knew any worship songs some of us would know and we sang Our God is Greater by Chris Tomlin. I was looking up into the starry sky and it was awesome.

I was really intrigued with the stars at that moment. Its when I was in the middle of working on my Rome painting and it has a starry sky in it and I was constantly listening to the song Starry Night by Chris August as I painted. I wanted to go down to the beach and sing it again, but I didn't want to steal her from everybody. I figured I'd wait a little bit and then ask cause everyone was having fun.

Then about a half hour later I looked up and the stars were gone. I walked out on the road to see if it was just a big cloud passing by, but the sky was completely covered over. It had sounded so perfect to go down to the beach and worship God under the beautiful masterpiece of His stars, which are 100x's more awesome way up there. I was so disappointed and wished I hadn't waited to ask.

I had to go lay Gianna down for bed and as I laid with her I prayed for God to let the sky clear that we may go sing that song to Him under the stars.

And when I went back outside about 20 minutes later and looked up there they were! I grabbed Taylor and her and I walked to the end of the road by the beach. I told her on the way what I had prayed and she looked up and said look, they're just right above us, its cloudy all around. It was just like a giant hole in the clouds above us. : )

We sang the song and it was unforgettably perfect and as we were ending everyone came running down and were laughing and talking and horsing around looking at the stars and they noticed too it was just a big opening.

We watched it close within a minute or two, and the stars were completely gone. They came out just long enough for us to sing our song. Fills my heart.

And then unexpectedly my nieces and I ended up having a very good conversation about God there in the road with my brother and cousin. We prayed in a big warm huddle and it was perfect and I will always have such a crystal clear memory of it in my head.

Love!
