Wishing on stars...

So today was pretty much filled with a fight between sleeping and studying... studying came out with a higher percentage but the sleep did pretty good :) but anyways on to what is more important than my average Sunday...

There's a song called "Airplanes" that is pretty popular - why?  Because it addresses a key element in life- Wishing. Now then before anyone gets on YouTube to look it up, I want to warn you it is not Christian - and actually i really don't recommend the full song - there are multiple versions some that are more kosher than others but anyways the course of the song is pretty simple (and happens to be the only part that gets stuck in my head...
  "Can we pretend that airplanes, in the night sky are like shooting stars?  I could really use a wish right now..."
(* note: Yes I know that "shooting stars"are burning chunks of space material, but as my friends pointed out that does not rhyme nor is it as pretty so geeky people please ignore the misnomer here and try to focus) The song echos in a desire to wish, to hope, for something based on an inanimate object, and from our worldly/ secular culture this is fairly acceptable, especially for children but in certain situations for adults as well.  At the end of the day, we all have times where we long for something else. something more, and some people really believe that wishing on stars (or airplanes) will make a difference.While I am not going to bash their ideas, for I will readily admit that when I was a little girl, I wished on stars, but I also did something else, I prayed.

Its interesting to see how while the world may scoff at prayer and talking to One who is unseen, yet they too have a inward desire for something more, to the point of even wishing on stars. I am lucky, I know about wishing on stars, and at times I still do, but I also know more importantly about He who made them. Get this,  not only do I know about Him, I Know Him, and I know  that He loves me. - So yeah I can wish on stars, its nostalgic, and hope is good, but at the end of the day, while I don't know the future and when all I have for now is a random box of dreams kept safely inside, I do know the One Holds the future and who has my dreams planed out on a canvass of reality.
