Most of you probably know the song from The Greatest Showman, Rewrite The Stars. Before I dive into last night, let me backtrack about 48 hours…
Wednesday was a hard day. It was the year anniversary of my Grandma Sally passing away. It brought tears to my eyes again, a year later. Grieving is still a weird process to me, because even now, it still comes in waves. Some days, we just miss the people we’ve lost.
That’s how God feels about His kids, too.
God wants to be with His kids. He wants to be with YOU. With me. Every person, every son and daughter He created. He wants you to see your giftings, what you’re good at and what you’re great at, and He wants you to thrive and live how you were created to live.
So on Wednesday, as I was struggling for words for how I felt, I was journaling and I asked God to give me a shooting star that night. To remind me He’s near, right by me.
It didn’t come.
Last night, I was with my team, and we started looking at the stars. They’re so bright here, it’s beautiful. I’ve never seen so many stars lighting the sky. As conversations were still going, I kept looking at the sky.
God didn’t just give me one shooting star. He gave me TEN.
I stared at the sky for probably two or three hours with my team, “THERE’S ONE!” “THERE’S ANOTHER!”
It was so wild. I started playing “Rewrite The Stars” from The Greatest Showman. It wasn’t until I listened to it after seeing God give me multiple shooting stars that I realized how God rewrite the stars for us to be with Him.
We didn’t deserve to be with Him. We deserved anything but that. But He made a way, because God is a good dad and He gives good gifts to His kids, because He wanted to be with us. It blows my mind every day, that’s ways God is so intentional with every single one of us. I asked for one shooting star, He gave me TEN.
Ask God for a special moment like that, and I promise He will give it to you! Last night was a night I’ll never forget.
What’s a time you’ve had a moment of God being super intentional with you?
