Creations.

"God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars."
Martin Luther

Tonight I went on a fun date to the Planetarium. I haven't been there since I was a little girl in elementary school. I remember going there on a field trip. I walked into the planetarium today with the same excitement I did as a little curly redheaded girl. Little did I know that I would have such an amazing experience.

As the Lights dimmed, and the giant dome filled up with darkness and Stars. . . I began to see another side of Heaven that I was not aware of. Giant stars. Formation of stars. Supernovas. The Celestial beauty of the stars, the sun, and earth were beyond my comprehension, yet I could taste a little bit of Heaven. I realized how close to Heaven we really are. Heavenly Father truly loves His Children----and yet, I have a hard time with this. Just like when I started at BYU, I felt like a little fish in a giant sea.
Now I am a Star. There are millions and millions of Stars in the night sky. There are universes beyond our own, filled with even more Stars. A Single Star shines for millions of years and is beautiful to look at when you are on the roof at night. If I saw myself as a single Star, perhaps my perspective would change a little bit. Yes, there are stars out there that are bigger and more beautiful than me, but I help make up the beautiful night sky. Perhaps one of these days I will understand that I am a part of God's beautiful creations. That I don't have to compare myself to others and that I can just love me for me. Perhaps one day.

"If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
