Life is like a meandering river, a path with many forks, and we have the choices to either stop at the next bend or travel to the left or right path. We do not know what the future holds but only that what we choose in life will have a lasting effect. We may not see the results of ours or other's actions, but rest assured, they will show themselves. So it is with my life. There were still many paths to follow, but before I chose which direction I would go, I reflected many times on events long past that affected me for my lifetime. I believe God created us all for a purpose, no matter how insignificant we may feel those purposes are. He created all things for a purpose. Not just things but events, seasons, times, and oh yes, incredibly special people.
