…perspective…
Today I realized that if circumstances were different, we wouldn’t be the people we were. Sure, this is an obvious almost given kind of fact of life, but this is the first time it really hit me in the face as something new. It’s sad to admit, but I’ve taken for granted the fact that I have a wonderful bf. No, don’t worry. The bf and I haven’t broken up or anything. I still love him and we’re still together. For the first time ever though, I just realized that if anything in our lives were different at the time we started dating, we may not be with each other now.
I mean, if his computer were not under construction prior to the time he met me, he may not have contacted me through xanga at all. If I had gone out and met more people, and someone asked me out, I wouldn’t be with the bf.
Do you believe in fate? Do you believe in destiny? As a Christian, it has always been hard to explain whether or not I believe this. To say I believe in destiny is to forgo the fact that I, as a God-Created human, have free will. But at the same time, I truly believe that God has a plan for us all.
And although I say that if circumstances were different, we’d all be different people. The clear truth is “Duh! it’s obvious! God has a plan for me.” He shapes me to be the person he wants me to be.
I don’t know why I felt like writing this, I just felt I ought to. oh…the joys of sudden blog urges. heh.
