Chapter 1

When Sonny was just five years old, he had a burning passion for the Lord Jesus Christ; he loved him with all his heart, soul and mind. One day in Sunday school, Sonny learned that God gives everyone a unique talent that should be used for God’s glory, so Sonny prayed that he would someday be given the talent to sing, he would sing for the glory of God, to lead the unsaved to Christ. That night when he was at home he stepped on to the balcony and said “I wish that someday I could be a singer for God’s glory.”

Just then, a shooting star shot across the sky, Sonny knew in his heart that star was in fact a sign from God; he knew his wish was going to be fulfilled.

When his mom came into his room to tuck him in Sonny said to her; “Mommy I prayed to God that someday I would become a singer.”

“Why a singer?” His mom replied. “Because music is very powerful, the wrong kind of music can make us have a bad attitude but the right music can lead us to God and help us serve him better, that and why not praise God? He deserves our praise.” Sonny Replied.

“What was his answer Sonny?” His mother asked.

“I really feel that he said yes to me, as soon as I finished the prayer a shooting star went by, I feel that it was without a doubt a sign from God!” Sonny happily replied.

“Well OK if you say so, we’ll just have to wait and see about that, besides most people can’t sing. I’ll see you in the morning.” Said his mom as she kissed Sonny good night. “I just know it was a sign from God.” Sonny whispered to himself as he fell asleep.

             Ten years later

“Time to go Sonny!”  His mom hollered from across the hall.

Sonny was so excited to be trying out for the church choir.

Sonny never actually tested his voice so he was a little scared that he would not make it but something inside him told that tonight his wish was going to be fulfilled.

When they were in the car Sonny said to his mom “I just know I’ll make it tonight.”

“Oh, what makes you say that Sonny?” His mom asked.

“Because of the shooting star that God sent ten years ago as of today.” Sonny said with a smile.

“Something tells me that you’ll do just fine Sonny.”

“I just know I will.” Ended Sonny.

My mom told me that you were having terrible headaches from a concussion you got. Just wanted to say I hope you're getting better and I'll pray for you!

P.S. (I like your story. I can't wait until Sonny's tapes are sent to Walt Disney!)

Hello! I have enjoyed reading your story so far. I am fascinated by the main character and his desire to fulfil God's will for his life. What I would like to read next is an insight into his personal relationship with his mum and God. Does he have a father? I would like to read about a specific event in which his faith for God deepened, with vivid descriptions of where he was, when, etc.

I would also like to ask you whether you'd like to write a short article about your experience as a homeschooled student to be published on www.networkhomeschool.com, our new social networking website for homeschoolers all around the world. The article should be short (about 500 words, 3,500 characters) and is meant to inspire and encourage other homeschoolers. Is this something you'd be interested in? If yes, you will need to sign up (it's free and the process lasts only about 1 minute) and then submit your article on the HS Page:

Thank you; I look forward to hearing from you, Anna Hamilton, Co-Founder, www.networkhomeschool.com
