Those things that never happened....

An old friend from college came to visit me this weekend. It was a great time of talking, catching up on old times, and updating on people we used to know.
We had a long conversation last night that unintentionally centered on all those things in life that never happened.
The girl that broke up with you, the job that was refused to you, and the friends who disappeared. Every twist and turn of the conversation had basically the same ending..."wow, I'm so glad that never happened!"

It occured to both of us how God doesn't allow things to happen so we can get to the place where He wants us to be. I think that's a better way of looking at life, rather than the "what might have been" senario.
