Starry Starry Night

You belong in a field of wildflowers,
You belong in a boat out at sea;
You belong with love on your arms,
You belong somehwere you feel free.
- Tom Petty

The last night of MOB in Thailand, we went star-gazing.
Glorious, oh so glorious.
They looked like they'd been carefully placed on a glass ceiling that you could touch if you reached your arm out far enough.
But that's not the end of my story with stars.

Wednesday night at a playground.
Was spending a few precious moments with my Creator when it started drizzling. Surprised at how little time He'd given me to spend with Him, I was slightly disappointed. Well, maybe a bit more than slightly.
But the strange thing was, the drizzle didn't turn into rain. The tiniest drops of rain just kept on falling onto the dark blue slide I was sitting on, while overhead, a bridge that was part of the plastic structure sheltered me.
It never occurred to me that the drizzle was a slightly strange phenomenon until half an hour later. As I was getting ready to head home, I realised that it's only drizzled over a very small area, and it happened to inlcude the playground I was at.
So for a few more moments, I sat in silence (save for the song playing on my handphone), waiting for time to pass. Suddenly, I just felt like I had to lean against something, and as I rested against the slide, I noticed, for the first time, the tiny drops of rain on the slide.
With the street lamp shining on them and upclose, they looked -you guessed it- just like stars!
The whole thing was so beautiful, I cried.

In Your Freedom
Hillsong - Savior King

I search for You God of strength
I bow to You in my brokenness
And no other King could have so humbly come
To save my soul and heal my heart
I have nothing more than all You offer me
There is nothing else that’s of worth to me

And I love You Lord
You rescued me
You are all that I want
You’re all that I need

I pray to You God of peace
I rest in You my cares released
I have nothing more than all You offer me
There is nothing else that’s of worth to me

And I love You Lord
You rescued me
You are all that I want
You’re all that I need

In Your freedom I will live
In Your freedom I will live
I offer devotion, I offer devotion
