Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Hi everyone! This is Victoria again!

Today we headed out from the desert tent city and made our way into the city of Jodhpur to do some shopping. As I rested on the five hour bus ride to the shopping center, I remembered the incredible view I was able to experience in the desert. 

As soon as I found out we were staying the night in the desert, I was so excited to see the beautiful sky at night. Not until we were there did I realize how majestic it really was. A countless number of stars dotted the sky too numerous to even try to count. As I lay there staring at the sky,  I thought back to the story of Abraham and the promise God made to him. God said He would make Abraham's family as large as the amount of stars in the sky. It occurred to me that God continues to keep His promise to Abraham even after thousands of years. I then realized, while looking at the sky, just how faithful and majestic our God is. I also came to the conclusion of how small we really are in comparison to the rest of the universe, and yet we are God's most prized creation. Looking at something as magnificent as the stars in the sky made me feel so incredibly insignificant. I then remembered that man is God's love, not the stars in the sky or beautiful sunset or sunrise. Man. I thanked God for loving us so much although we don't deserve it. This trip has been so eye opening in so many ways that I couldn't have even imagined!:)

Thanks  so much for letting me share my thoughts! 

Blessings!
