Every once in a while I get a tiny glimpse at life from a different angle and I can see the smallest slice of heaven shining through. Every now and I again I can pause for a moment and think about all of the things that had to happen just right for my life to line up where it is at this exact moment. I love it. It reminds me that God really is working all things for my good, and he truly has his hand over me.
Recently this happened with regard to one of the areas of my life that I wanted to work on, humility. After talking it through in therapy and deciding on some next steps, I continued reading a book I started a long time ago....and the very next chapter talks humility. I'm amazed because this book is not something I'd be reading if it weren't recommended to me a long time ago. If I hadn't met years ago the person that recently recommended it, I wouldn't be reading it right now. And if I had read it any slower or any faster, I would not be at this chapter right now. Then the sermon series is about humility. If I hadn't taken this job in Clio, I would never have moved to Clio, I wouldn't be attending this church to hear this message right now. Then, it comes up in conversations I've been having with a friend. The only reason it came up is because it was a natural progression in this conversation we've been having for about the last year. If I hadn't started digging into my past and talking with this friend, it wouldn't have come up.
As I'm writing this, I feel like the words do not do it justice. It's such an awe inspiring thing for me to think about, but I feel like it loses a lot when I try to explain it. This has happened to me a few different times in my life, and always right when I need to be reminded that God really is in this with me. And it just blows my mind to think about all the things that had to be set in motion so long ago for all of this to line up perfectly right now. I think it's cool.
