Jeremiah 29: 11-14

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you."

Coincidence?...I Don't Think So

God is amazing. I just want to give God the glory for the amazing little things He does in our lives each and every day. Some we notice and other we don't. This week I noticed. Without going into a lot of boring details, I will just say that I have been having some health issues following my pregnancy with Ethan. We haven't been able to make much since of it. But earlier this week, it just so happened...that I went to a health food store to buy some more vitamins/herbs. The lady and gentleman that own the store started asking me questions about what I was buying and why....(During the five years I've gone to this store they have always been friendly and helpful but never really this inquisitive) After some lengthy discussion, they both comment how this "condition" sounds familiar - it reminds them of some lady named Ruth and they said they would try to remember to ask her about it the next time they saw her.

Well, I didn't get a mile down the road and my cell phone rings. Apparently the moment I left the store, Ruth walked in. Divine appointment. They had her there in the store and she wanted to talk with me. Turns out, our symptoms/issues are EXACTLY the same. Both of us began first having difficulties during pregnancy...and the list goes on. The condition is rare, especially in women, but definitely treatable.

The point, however, is that I know it was by NO coincidence that I just happen to go to a store, that just happens to know a lady, who just happened to show up, that just happens to have gone through the same things as I have....God is amazing. Thank you Lord that you love us so much. That NOTHING happens by accident. Even "accidents" aren't really accidents.

"And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus" Phil 4:19

"And I pray that you being rooted and established in love, may have power together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God" Ephesians 3:17-20

"He brought me out into a spacious place, He rescued me because He delights in me" Psm 18:19
