Coincidences

http://blog.hoopsandyoyo.com/

So, apparently blogging is the new "in" thing. Well, maybe not so new. Nevertheless. So, why not update mine?
...Oh, yeah. Nothing to write about. That's why.

I guess I could talk about:
Dixie's football team -proof that teams in red...just kind of suck
How dumb blogging is -but that would just be beating a dead horse.
How much I love phrases like "beating a dead horse." -...


Or how about we talk about coincidences? (Or, as I like to call them, "instances of God's hand being manifest in our daily lives.)

As you can tell, I do not believe in coincidences. I believe that everything happens for a reason.-We must pause the reading of this blog for a short.....interruption. The announcement that I am, finally, updating my blog was followed by one of the greatest happy dances I have ever seen. Thank you, dear Spiffy :) Moreover, I believe that everything happens for a good reason. It may seem awful at the time, but as long as we're living right and trying our hardest to be good, everything will be ok.
But I digress.

Here's my list of recent "coincidences":
Meeting my amazing roommate and new best friend at the temple the night before we moved down to Dixie. Having another LDS suitemate whose testimony is a shining example to me every single day. Being introduced to a knight in shining armor (or, more accurately, latter-day stripling warrior) minutes before I needed to be rescued. Finding out Spiffy found, and followed, my tiny blog before she even knew who I was.

Every time I come across "coincidences" like these, my testimony in my Heavenly Father and His love for His children grows so much stronger. It's amazing in what ways He will show us that He loves us.

How grateful am I for coincidences.
