I Don't Believe in Coincidences

Too many things have seemed to work out so perfectly lately to sit here and wonder if God's Hand is in the daily doings of my life.

• Thanks to my own mistake, my alarm did not go off the other morning for work, but for some reason, I naturally woke up on my own in time to make it to work. Coincidence? - I think not. More like a tender mercy!
• That same day, I hit EVERY single light green on my way to work.
• Plans for school this fall are starting to fall into place too perfectly to call it luck - much to my relief.
• Knowing the cost of school this coming year, I have worked every chance possible this summer to save even one extra penny. And to my amazement, when hours seem to fall short, another opportunity to work always surfaces to fill the lost time.
• Unexpected, kind words from some of my best friends and family have come at the moment I seemed to need it the most as if they personally knew exactly what I needed.

Many other experiences are mixed in with these that remind me that Heavenly Father has a plan for me. He is guiding my life and knows far better than I do what is best for me! For this, I am grateful!! This quote by Pres. Boyd K. Packer says it all - "I pray that there will enter our hearts the peace that comes from knowing by a power beyond all human ability to transmit that God is aware of us."
