The way the world works always amazes me. As a product of middle-class America, my life has always been excessively easy, but it's not really the luxuries of stereotypical life that I'm getting at. What I am talking about it the seemingly small and insignificant events and decisions that can have such an amazing impact on your life. It's a little difficult to express, so allow me to present you, dear reader, with an example.
You go into your elective class (let's say it is political science) and you decide to sit in the back for no reason other than that you feel like doodling. The class fills up around you while you draw small pictures of God knows what, perhaps you are drawing your teacher in funny hats. At the end of class the girl next to you confesses she has been watching you the entire time and thought your drawings were hilarious. You talk the entire way back to the commons and eventually exchange phone numbers or facebooks or whatever you hip kids do now. Now, all of the sudden, you are looking at a life with a possible significant other, just because you sat in a certain chair and decided to draw. You would have most likely never noticed each other without that exact series of events.
Or, do you ever think about crazy things that might save your life? Pretend you decide one day that you want to drive to the beach but cancel at the last minute for no reason in particular other than you just stopped feeling like you should. There is no way to prove it at all, but it's possible that if you had driven to the beach that day you would have crashed.
I dunno, it just seems to me that there are a hell of a lot of things that could always be going wrong, but aren't. And sometimes they even go exactly the way you want them to. I know the world wouldn't really work any other way, but I am just glad that this is how it happens. Life in general makes me happy.
The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for.

I like to think about this every once in a while, think about all the little avenues you have to take to get exactly where you are and how small things can change everything. After a while, I'm always left thinking, yes, things could've been different, but they're not, so understand, accept, and cherish what has come to pass.
I love it.
I know exactly what you mean. I've felt that too and I know in my heart of hearts that it is the graceful hand of God leading us through life unscathed and better for it. That's why it's our duty to give him all our love and devotion. Jesus Christ died for our sins, you know, would you do the same for Jesus?
