Luke 19 - Fate and free will

So Luke 19…

  Three different stories and I will focus on the one that happens in our everyday life where fate shakes hands with our free will and… life happens.

  This is the beauty of life I guess. You wake up in the morning you have no clue how the day will be. Well chances are you will have a day just like others. But there is a chance that fate will put something on your way. And now it is your turn to catch the moment. It is all up to you and it is all up to fate. Reminds me of Jesse McCartney's song “Best day of my life”. Just take a moment and listen to it!

  Let me give you an example. I think it was 2 months ago when I stopped by sweetwaters coffee shop to say hi to my friends. I saw a girl that I barely recognized. She was sitting at a table with her friend. I was like I think I know her so I walked towards her table and said hey I think I know you from somewhere. And guess what she was a friend of Paul Saunders. We talked and she invited me over to her life group. If that coincidence didn’t happen (fate) or if I didn’t choose to talk to her (free will) well I would not be writing here now. I didn’t have a nice Christmas card Jerry gave me with a Frisbee game drawing on it (picture) and I would not be in that white elephant gift exchange party! Amazing right? Well you can think about your own lives. The moments that happened and you chose to do something. How it changed your life and how it would be different if you chose otherwise. The same thing happened to Zacchaeus when he met Jesus.

  This is why I love life!
