Synchronicity is . . .
Is the experience of two or more events that
are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance.
"meaningful coincidences"
a causal connecting principle
an apparently meaningful coincidence in time
of two or more similar or identical events.
Any of you who read my stuff, here or in my
books, will find out sooner or later I am religious, converted later in life
mostly because of my wife. I still have
a problem with cussing, in that I still do it habitually out of habit even
though I know it is wrong. My wife and two
young boys have enlisted in the crusade of trying to correct my bad habits.
I am a devout Christian because of things I
have witnessed which can only be nothing short of a miracle or divine
intervention. A faith Experience. Many believe, but until you experience
something personally that cements your faith in God almighty, you will struggle
with faith and your belief. I love the
church my wife and I attend because they are very big on knowing what you
believe and why you believe it. They
don't tell you what to believe. They
preach the Holy Word of the Bible and even present different view points on
some of the controversial topics, but they believe a you should know what you believe
in and why you believe it.
There are times when God has plans for your
life and ready or not, when it is time, God moves. Your plans don't matter. You want to make God laugh, by all means put
your hands together and tell him about your plans. You understand that point much better when
your three year old and five year old son start laying out their plans for the
way the evening is going to go. It
dawned on me while explaining what was really going to happen, to my two sons, that
God pretty much does the same thing with us, only he doesn't always explain as well
to us. Then again maybe he does but we
are listening like a couple of small children and more concerned with our plans.
We don't see or listen when he is speaking
to us.
I am old enough and wise enough to realize
that not everything is a coincidence. God brings people into your life for a reason,
and it might be years before you figure it out why. We may never figure it out. Looking back I can see how my plans and my
life has changed and not quite gone the way I had imagined it would, and as it
turns out I have ended up in a much better place and better off for what has
happened. I know when God is working in
my life and adjusting things, getting ready to change things, and I am wise
enough to sit back and marvel in his awesome power and design and watch it
unfold. When I was younger, I would act
like my children fighting and kicking while trying to resist the changes.
There is an oriental proverb that says, that
every grain of sand is exactly where it is supposed to be. When you understand that proverb, you’ll
realize we might not like everything that is going on, but it is all according
to his master plan and design. You can
fight it, refuse it, change the course but in the end it just means you end up
at the same point later in life having taken a little harder and longer road,
than you might of. I probably could have
listened to the writing and English teachers years ago and been a writer years
ago, but it probably wasn't the right time.
I needed to be seasoned, experience more of life, be tempered by
challenges and difficulties, and mellowed in certain areas to get to the place where
I am right now. The Place that is “Exactly”,
where I am supposed to be.
We should
open our eyes and ears, listen and watch what's going on around us very
closely. We live in a supernatural world
and too many don't see all that is truly going on around them. Most people are going through life sleep
walking, while a few of us are walking around totally and utterly amazed at
what we see.

Nothing is coincidence. It is all part of God's plan. We just don't always see the link.
