My Christmas Stars ⭐️

You might be wondering, does she have real stars?

Well you are about to find out. 😉😊

When did I first discover this?

Questions | Image

Some years ago, while I was still in Nigeria and working at a rather stretching job. I usually got back home really tired. And on this particular evening while I was walking into the compound of the family I stayed with at the time, I looked up and saw some stars. I didn’t pay much attention to it until a while after.

A while after I had settled in, changed my outing wear to a more indoor wear, my phone rang. So I stepped out to get some air just by the front porch and for some reason I gazed up again and saw this group of stars.

Their formation was closely knitted and it was like they were gazing back at me and reassuring me. Cos the more I gazed at these seemingly tiny beauties up there from where I was standing, the more they lighted up in my face. And I felt at ease, with a broad smile on my face.

After the call ended, I stayed a bit longer outdoors to enjoy these beauties the Lord has created.

So what happened next?

Every night after my first discovery, I would look up in the sky wherever I was, and I would see these exact mesh of stars. It went on, all through the months of November and December. It felt like God knew I loved this season of Christmas so much, that He gave me these gifts to behold.

Well did it stop there?

Out of curiosity – If you know me well, you’d know I am very curious. 😁 I tend to ask questions a lot and also research if I need to find an information. (If you didn’t know, well you do now) 😉

So yes out of curiosity, I began looking up at the sky anytime from October ending, searching for these stars. I wasn’t sure if it was only for the past year or if it would continue. So yes after some days of consistently searching regardless of where I was, I looked up on this particular day, and saw them beaming right back at me.

I smiled broadly. Anyone who may have seen me might have thought I won a jackpot. 😂

And so everyday I did this – looked up and enjoyed the view. And so the year wounded up again and I didn’t see these stars again.

Eventually it became a year to year tradition for me. Despite it being recurrent for several years now, I still get to smile brightly anytime I see these beauties beaming up in the sky. 😊

Okay so how did I know these stars were made for me? 😉

I was reading a verse on a particular morning. This was a much recent experience by the way. And as I read the verse, The Holy Spirit reminded me of the stars and He was like – These were named for you!

I blushed – if only I could have the actual pink blushes show up on my face. 😁

But it was so heartwarming hearing that. Being aware that He led those stars right to me.

He named these stars and while at it, He thought of me! That is beautiful! 🙌🏼🥰

The verse: 👇🏽

“Look up at the sky! Who created the stars you see? The one who leads them out like an army, he knows how many there are and calls each one by name! His power is so great— not one of them is ever missing!”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭26‬ ‭GNT‬‬ | YouVersion Bible App


An amazing or rather interesting piece to this story is that, even though I had been in different continents from the time I first saw it, up till now, I still see these stars right in front of me. It’s like it never moved. 😅

The works of God are rather fascinating! 🙌🏼


So why did I share this with you?

It’s a reminder that God has thought of you well in advance, and at His own time He will bring every single piece (expectation of yours in His will) to you. Fitting every bits of it Himself, and making your life beautiful, just as He has promised you that He would. 👇🏼

“Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬a NLT‬‬ | YouVersion Bible App

    If the stars you saw are the ones in the picture, these have been my favorite since childhood. The constellation is Orion to whom the Scripture refers in Job 9 and 38 and in Amos 5. I think this is why I like “him” so much, because He called them by name in His word!
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, my beautiful young Nigerian friend!☺️
