It Just so Happens

It just so happens that I came to ETSU's Quillen College of Medicine instead of UT-Memphis, WF, South Carolina, etc.. to study medicine.
It just so happens that the man who grades Amado's Bible correspondence lessons in Texas decided to email the preacher here in Tennessee with Amado's contact information.
It just so happens that I was at church on a Sunday night instead of studying for a test the next day when the preacher asked if there was anyone in the congregation who spoke Spanish.
It just so happens that the Morales family moved to Johnson City from Guatemala.
It just so happens that our youth minister went to Nicaragua in March on a mission trip.
It just so happens that his translator was a bilingual young man from Costa Rica.
It just so happens that this young man is the brother of one of my friends who attended Baxter.
It just so happens that this man is coming to help start the Hispanic ministry here in Johnson City right as I'm leaving for the summer.

Some may call these happenings coincidence. I call it statistically impossible without God's providence. I'm constantly amazed and delighted at how God takes the seemingly unrelated threads of different people's lives and circumstances and weaves them together into the tapestry of His wonderful and meaningful plan. Open your eyes and see where He's weaving the threads of your life!
