Serendipatiousness

The idea of Serendipity, Fortunate Accidents, is kind of fun think about this as we go about our days. Although I know that there is no such thing as serendipity, because I believe in God and that everything happens for a reason, and not just any reason, but because the Lord has a plan for my life that I am walking everyday in the Spirit in hopes of figuring it all out as a I go along. But also, in my life I have found the idea of Serendipity to equal Fortunate and also, Unfortunate Accidents. Most days at least once a day I find myself in an unexpected, humorous stituation. For instance finding myself in an unlikely, unexpected place and running into person X who has been avoided at all costs. Or seeing person B, who I havent seen in an extrordinary amount of time and finding myself at a loss of what to say. Or, being in the right place at the right time and NOT seeing Person A, who should have been an inevitable occurence. All I can do in these situations, and I do, is stare up to the Big Man upstairs and have a little chuckle and marvel at the Lord's impecable sense of humor. It would be advantageous for me in these situations to just roll with them, but because I am a girl I begin to question them. I want to know why. Why when things were going along so well did I have to see them? Why when it was perfect timing in my mind did I NOT see them?

The reality is that with the Lord there are no accidents fortunate or unfortunate, and it's not our job to question why God does what He does and how and when He does or doesnt do something. When we reliquish control of our lives, we can't help but find ourselves in a state of worry,curiosity, concern and analyzation of how these things have played out in our lives, and we had absolutely nothing to do with it either way. In a way its incredibly freeing, but on the other hand it's really scary, but So worth it.
