This happened a couple weeks ago, but I want to write about it and share it with all.

My other blog, God’s Way, was about how God guides the day, or longer, for certain events to happen.

This blog is to show how God reassures us He is watching us and encourages us in life.

A couple weeks ago I was driving home from work, listening to Air1 like always when their little spot about Habitats for Humanities, talking about how they are helping build homes for people who are basically homeless, building the houses with the people who will be living in them.

So while listening, I was thinking how I want to do that someday. How I want to go and build houses that will become someone’s home, be one of the people to make it possible for a family to live in a healthy, safe environment that they will call their own.

It’s perfect for me! I love to build and work with my hands, I love to help people. I love to travel and take pictures and I could travel to different regions with Habitats for Humanities. This combines everything! How perfect!

That night I was up late watching TV in the living room when my dad came home from work. For some reason he had a bunch of fortune cookies and gave me one. I open the package, break the cookie and eat half before reading the fortune, like always. I read the little scrap of paper and it says, You will be involved in many humanitarian projects.

Honest, that’s what it said, just a short seven hours after I was thinking about joining a group when I’m done with school and established in my career.

Many people, atheists especially, would chalk that up to coincidence. I, however, am not a fool (Psalm 14:1, 53:1) and believe in a higher being. While I do believe in coincidence, there are some things I believe have stretched too far to be merely coincidence. I believe wholeheartedly that God guides events to his purpose (please see “God’s Way”).

I believe with all my mind, body and spirit that God was encouraging me to pursue my Habitats for Humanities dream, that He was reassuring me that I can do it, that it’s in my future. More than that, I know God is telling me I will do this if I truly want.

Because that’s the kind of God He is.
