One evening as I lay in bed sound asleep I awoke suddenly. I woke at no sound or movement in the room I was just awakened. I quickly glanced at the digital clock that read it was somewhere around 3 in the morning in bright orange numbers. My bed was right beside my window. I looked out the window into the dark night sky alight with a million and one little stars that night. Pine Street, just below my window was quiet and I thought for sure I might be the only one awake this time of the night. As I watched the dark night sky moments after I awoke a star shot across the darkness in a blaze! Just as the bright starlight left a fading glow of brightness in its trail I fell back into deep sleep once again.
That next morning I remembered with great clarity being awake for just a moment to watch the night sky. While everyone else was sleeping I was awakened for no other reason then to watch the night sky for just a moment. My loving Father is like that He knew I wanted to see a shooting star. I am amazed to think that He would wake me just to show me again His wonders of creation and most of all that He loves me.
” — He that keepeth thee will not slumber” Psalm 121:3
I liked your post. I love it when the Lord wakes me up in the night. Isn’t it interesting how often that it is often at three a.m?
Holly,
When I got you email I was so excited and read it but still wanted more, so I am so glad that it brought me to your website where I can read more. Thank you for being a woman of God and for being such a great example.
I love reading stuff that you send out.
Love in Christi,
Kristin Hamway
P.s. Do you know if you are going to be having a winter gathering this year?
Hi, Holly! I came across your site when I googled to try to find a book on Ann Judson. It brought up your entry from a year ago. I attended Eternal Vision in 2004 and while reading through a book about Adoniram Judson, your dead introduced us to a book about Ann, but I can’t remember the title. Would you happen to know what book that might have been? Thank you!
