drops like stars

i was reading a book by Rob Bell, and in it he told a story about how he and his nephew were one day watching the rain through a window. his nephew continuously said, "stars, stars, stars." Rob, confused by his words, looked at his sister-in-law and asked,"why does he keep saying the word star?" she replied,"he believes that when a raindrop hits the ground, for a split second, that it looks like a star."



i had never looked at it that way.



i pray that you may see drops like stars...

sanger high, class of 2012- i love you guys.

as senior year resumes, i notice how much i am going to miss this.

yesterday was my last homecoming.

this volleyball season will be my last.

no more highschool football games.

i will have one more winter formal. sadie hawkins dance. prom.

i will have my last track&field season this year.

and before i know it, it's graduation day.

last views at classmate's faces.

last embraces.

tears streaming down our cheeks.

separate colleges; separate lives.

zero phone calls.

unspoken words.

unseen faces.

and before we know it, we're receiving each other's wedding inviatons.

birth announcements.

baby showers.

funerals.

it's a sore subject.

but it's true.

we wanna believe that we're gonna see each other and nothing's gonna change.

but, everything is gonna change.

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
       
     a time to be born and a time to die,
     a time to plant and a time to uproot,
     a time to kill and a time to heal,
     a time to tear down and a time to build,
     a time to weep and a time to laugh,
     a time to mourn and a time to dance,
     a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
     a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
     a time to search and a time to give up,
     a time to keep and a time to throw away,
     a time to tear and a time to mend,
     a time to be silent an a time to speak,
     a time to love and a time to hate,
     a time for war and a time for peace."
-ecclesiastes 3:1-8
