A Walk to Definitely Remember.



"A Walk To Remember" is basically every girl’s favorite movie!  If its not, clearly you have not seen how adorable Landon Carter is. Even though that movie is a complete tearjerker at the end, it’s worth the watch every single time.

My favorite part of the movie is when Landon takes Jamie to the cemetery, (side note: I’ve never seen a guy turn a cemetery into such a romantic place; Go Landon!) Anyways, he takes her to the cemetery and sets up her telescope so they can star gaze. While he lays out a blanket, he reaches into his backpack and shows her a map of the stars and asks her to find him a specific one. She asked why, and he simply said, “Because I had it named after you.” HOW ADORABLE!

In Psalms 147:4 it says 
He determines the number of stars; he gives to all of them their names.”

In the movie Landon named a star after Jamie. But in reality, God has given every single star a name. Every star is uniquely named and shaped in God’s image. Just like us! When God looks at us, He sees perfection. Just like the stars, we are his creation.

Sometimes I wonder what my purpose here on earth is. Am I here to make people smile and laugh or does God really have this spectacular plan for my life? I tend to forget that God has placed a calling on my life. I know I’m not alone. I know some of you can relate. We get caught up in the busyness of life….like college, work, friends, relationships, and so on, and maybe we neglect to focus on God and the calling He has placed on our life.

It is not too late to follow the plans that God has for you. No matter your age, God will use you in this lifetime at his perfect timing.

For me, God spoke and said, “I have named the stars. I have named you. And how the stars shine is how you will shine when I use you.”

If that’s not something to be excited about, then I don’t know what is!! Life is crazy! But if you take this walk God has for you, you will one day look back and always remember… “Just like He named and created the stars, He named and created me to do great things for His kingdom.”


Never give up on the plans God has for you. I am sure they will be spectacular, just like YOU!
