Twinkle Twinkle little Stars! November 29, 2008

Okay so today I have really had the Lord on my mind and before I go into all of that I just want to share the song I am listening to yall. See the way he holds the stars in his hands see the way he holds my heart for God is a lover looking for a lover so he fashioned me With just one pulse of your heart with just one pulse of your heart I’m in love. Any ways I love this God made it all stars and all. What really stuck out to me was stars. I love stars. I remember that when I first moved here I would tell all of my friends I can see the stars. It makes me think of the Father saying look Christy I have put diamonds in the sky just for you. And as the saying goes a diamond is forever and they are. Which then got me thinking about the star god used to guide the way. And that got me thinking why a star? I know Bible philosophers will say something dealing with how the stars were there to guide the way and the worse men use to base things on the stars and constellations. But when thinking I realized God wants us to be focused on him and he will guide us. God gives us the beauties of the earth and sky and wants us to look at that and see him and he will make the path so much easier. On a different note though I stumbled upon a quote and read it. A true call of a christian is not to do extraordinary things but to do ordinary things in an extraordinary way. Wow! This got me thinking about Jesus. Ya he healed people and performed miracles, but what did he do most? He did the simple ordinary tasks in an extraordinary way. He just spoke to the people, he went to those not wanted. He got down and dirty. He helped and encouraged those who he came in contact with. He did not go all over the world or even searching for someone but the people who  he walked by in the market place. Do we encourage the cashier who rings us up? We could be the only Jesus they see. This was easily seen today black Friday. These workers have been on their feet all day and we are bitter and mean to them. I may not have been rude or anything like that but I sure did not see myself as an encouragement to them. I was no different than any of the other people around me. Wow! Reality check to me. However I am trying to be a light at my mom’s work. We will see if I can encourage the people at Belk. Well I better be getting to bed but I wanted to share all of the info with you and to tell yall I got a new outft, two pairs of shoes and a purse today! Yay!
