Yahweh.

It was one of those things that shocked her continually.
The brightness of the stars against that black, black sky.
No matter how many times she saw it, it always shocked her.
Oh, God, it was beautiful.
The Big Dipper, Orion,and Draco were blazing against the heavens as she stared out the car window in wonder.

"Hey, hey, take a look at this.", she said. "Its wonderful."

Her boyfriend, rugged, burly, and the epitome of man, took a glance out the window and whistled.
"It makes you really feel small, yeah? Insignificant."

"I don't know about insignificant... Doesn't it just make you want to praise God for letting you see and be a part of something this, this, amazing?" she countered.

"Praise God? I don't know about that one... You know where I stand on that."

"But why? This sky doesn't even make you think? Make you wonder if there is something bigger and better than us all is out there? Something beautiful and wonderful?"

"I don't know, I guess. I really don't want to talk about this now, Babe. I'm sorry."

She shot him a look, a mix between anger, pity, and sadness.

"Ok." she simply said, dismissing the subject.

They continued to drive in an odd silence. It wasn't an angry silence, just an uncomfortable one.

She stared out the window at that bright sky praying silently. Praying for her boyfriend, praying she was making the right choice, praying that God would help her see His plan.




God didn't answer her prayers right away. But then again, He rarely does.
