This little star has been following me around the island lately and I appreciate its presence much more than I think that this post can express.
Recently I was driving home from work and I was relating my day and experiences to God, letting Him know just how I was feeling. I was frustrated, tired and more than a little overwhelmed with life. I was just going on and on (because I can, I have an hour and a half to two hour commute from work. I had time) and finally I got to this point where I was crying and said Where are You? You feel so far away and sometimes I just can't see You.
I was looking at the sky and in my head I made this analogy to explain to God how I couldn't see Him (because analogies are how I relate things, I guess). I began by explaining to Him that the stars and the planets are all so huge but given the distance, the atmosphere and the light pollution sometimes even those giants disappear from sight. I told Him that was how I felt about Him sometimes.He is so great and wholly Himself (because there is no other standard that matches Him) and even in Him being who He is, there are still times when I cannot see Him.
The night was so black, the stars were hidden and the moon must have been behind me, I started to cry. Then suddenly, as I made a turn, a little star came into view and I broke down even more. Guys, I've been crying a lot lately, I don't even know why but in this moment I was crying because it was like God had answered me, by continuing in my own analogy.
Since then, that star has come out each night.
