About Light up the Sky
Hi friends! Light Up The Sky is a song about Gods faithfulness. He is with us not only during the good times, but also when we’re walking through life’s valleys. This page is a place where you can share the ways that God has shown you that He is with you so that it can be an encouragement to others. When you post your story, a light will show up on the map. As more and more people share, the map will become brighter and brighter. We all have different stories, but the one thing we all have in common is that no matter what we go through in life, we’re not alone. God love us and gives us signs to show us that He’s here.
Here’s my story:
My family and I were involved in a massive car accident earlier this year, on Good Friday. I was driving along a stretch of highway in Colorado with my wife and 3 kids when a car pulled out in front us. He caused us to flip over and we ended up upside-down in a ditch. I remember thinking that I could have just lost my entire family…I saw that my wife was ok and then one by one heard the cries of each of my children. The sound of their voices was as beautiful as when I heard their cries for the first time when they were born. There was an off duty fireman who just happened to be stopped at that intersection. We narrowly missed his car as we flipped over. He and his wife immediately jumped out of their car, opened our doors and helped me get the kids out. They also had blankets to keep our kids warm. We all walked away from that accident without any serious injuries. The trooper who arrived on the scene said it was the worst wreck he’d seen without a fatality. That very well could have been our time, and that would have been ok. God was watching over us and we were very blessed on that day. Good friday will always be an “even better friday” for my family and I…and a reminder that God is always with us. – Josh
