Hey Angie! Great post! Some great pondering points!

I do not subscribe to the pre-destined notion. While I do believe that God does have a plan to be happy and redeemed, I do not believe He, or anything else in the Universe has a plan for us to meet person X at time Y.

That said, I do believe our courses are set from time past by our actions and, more importantly, by our intentions! This is good news!

So, if we are not where we want to be; if we are not meeting the kind of people we want to meet; if we don't have what we want to have.... all we have to do is firmly set our intention, keep focus on that attention, and ACT accordingly.

Let me add that once having set that intention and acting in accordance with that intention, it is very important to then pay attention! Little miracles happen every day!
