Coincidences

My life is full of coincidences. Sometimes they just hit me though. The ways God directs my paths, or at least ordains, orders, however you want to look at it... is just awe inspiring sometimes. It's the little things.
The most recent one was this. This past spring we hung out with the Psalters, and I friend requested a couple of them, there was one, Scott Krueger, who I almost requested then didn't. The other day, however, I changed my mind. He added me shortly after, so I was looking at his profile, and just a short way down his wall, someone had tagged him in a note. I clicked on it, and I read what this girl had written, totally identifying with her angst in regards to church. She'd recently moved back to Ohio after having spent 5 years in Philly with that whole gang there. So I wrote to her, just offering up the option of the church that I go to and friendship. She accepted. Dude. If I hadn't've friend requested Scott, or if I had done it earlier, I never would've seen that post. It's the little things. I'm convinced it's a God thing.

I've also been realizing how obviously it was a God thing that I've gotten where I've gotten with this business stuff too. I was on Facebook, shortly after declaring my intention of helping my dad with this. I happened to see a post for something on Red Letter Christians, I'd never been to that site before, so I went to look, happened to read this post on Humility by Noah Echols. I loved it and found him on twitter to tell him so. I went to his website, and found out he was in relatively the same line of work, and that he subscribed to Olivier Blanchard. That was just the beginning. I've found out since then that there are so many people that think they know stuff about social media marketing, but actually don't. I lucked out that my first person I found, not only is totally legit, but extremely intelligent and an invaluble resource in learning what I need to know.  Just another coincidence.

Just seeing the little ways in which the Spirit is evident, is just so cool.

Met some other really cool people last week. The Simons. They own their own organic farm, beef, dairy, chickens, pigs, and the garden stuff. Very very cool people. Looking forward to getting to know them better. All these people right here, it's amazing. It's hard to believe I've lived here 6 years now, and it's only within the last year and a half that I've adopted community, and am getting to know people in the area. So many people in this area are not the highly intelligent people that I desire to surround myself with, but I'm slowly finding them. I want to be inspired to be more, do more. Be all I can be. It's too easy to be lazy and not achieve what I could.

That's it for now.
