While I was at Girls Camp last summer something really simple happened that reaffirmed to me my divine nature as a daughter of God, and the fact that Heavenly Father loves us and is mindful of us and our lives, even in the smallest details.
One night we were supposed to gather all of the girls and leaders that were at Camp Koholowo and do a stargazing activity. We gathered all the girls together on the front lawn of the Lodge and the man who had come to teach us about stargazing indicated to everyone that we may not be able to do the stargazing activity because it was so cloudy. Looking up you could not see a single star, there was a very thick cloud cover making it impossible to see anything in the night sky. The Girls Camp leaders decided to go ahead and get started with a prayer, and see if the clouds might clear. One of the leaders gave the prayer and simply asked that Heavenly Father would allow the clouds to clear so that we could participate in our stargazing activity. After the prayer the man who was there to teach us began telling us about some different constellations, and as we looked up, it was amazing, the clouds were clearing, and fast! It seemed to me a miracle that so quickly the sky went from not being able to see one star, to clear skies and thousands of stars shining bright. I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who cleared the skies for 200 girls at Girls Camp that summer and sending us the message that we are his children and he loves us in a very real way.
