The lights are out tonight.
I can see the stars.
I look up at them, and realize how truly blessed I am.
We are.
There's no streetlights, no planes.
Just the stars.
I stare at them in awe.
Why have I never seen them before?
I saw them. But I didn't See them.
I look at them and I praise God.
I thank Him for everything.
I thank Him for her.
For the girl who doesn't mind that I love her.
When she just sorta likes me.
And I thank Him for her.
For the girl who's my sister in everything.
Except name and blood.
And I thank Him for her.
For the girl who's like a daughter to me.
Even when we don't talk because she's angry with me.
Especially then.
Most of all, I thank Him for Him.
For His Son, who died for my sins.
So that I could live free.
The lights are out tonight.

Took a break from packing for my move to a new apartment and stepped out on the porch. The light on the building across from me was out, and I could see the stars like I haven't ever been able to before. I just felt inspired and grabbed some paper and a pen, went down to the retention pond and wrote.

Just because God protects you doesn't mean you won't get sick after eating three bags of gummi bears in one sitting right after drinking four cans of Mountain Dew. You're getting sick no matter who you believe in then.
