God's Wonder

Have you ever thought about how God put the stars in the heavens? Tonight my husband and I went to a revival in another town and when we arrived home I looked up and saw right off the big dipper. By the way after dark is my most favorite time of the day, especially on a clear night. I have thought about God at these times and wondered how he put the stars where He did and in their perfect shapes. I did not know how many different shapes there are until my oldest daughter had to memorize many of them for a Science class in the 6th grade. She can still tell you where they are, how many starts in each constellation, how they are shaped, and what their names are. Is't God wonderful!!

The sermon hit home for me. It was on revival. My revival to be exact. The Evangelist said church members have to have a revival in their lives first before there can be one in the church. That really hit home for me. For some reason in the past few weeks I have questioned my life and what I really was here to do. I know that God has a plan for my life and has been giving me glances of it for many years. I believe I am scared of the next era of my life. For the past 8 years I have seen what God can do and what He wants me to do in that period of time. Now I am waiting. I don't want to go over God's head and do what I think I want to do, but wait for what God wants me to do. I believe God is going to answer a pray that I prayed 13 years ago and He is going to give me the dream of my life, but right now I don't know what the dream of my life is.

This happens to me when I am going into another decade of life. On December 9th I will be 60 years old. I know that is not old, but what am I and who am I. Those answers will be answered in the next 10 years. Thank you for letting me ramble.

The awesomeness of GOD!!! I too am amazed how He hung every star in the heavens and He has a name for each one. Our universe is created in such magnificent order I am befuddled that anyone could believe in the "big bang" THEORY. Talk about Faith...they have more than me to believe the big bang. I am excited for you Joyce! Revival in your heart is exciting! I am sure God will bless you and show you purpose!
