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

Holly,
I love reading stuff that you send out. 
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.
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!

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?
