Timing. One miss step, hiccup, pause or changing of events can completely change the outcome of your life, a countries ultimate destiny and even change humanity itself. One move or altercation in a different way can change so much. In history how many battles have been won by the army that had too few men, low supplies and disadvantage? How could Rome be defeated by a bunch of barbarians? How could a bunch of farm men and blacksmiths defeat the British Army? When there is so much at stake how do things get placed so certainly without knowledge of the future consequences? In fact just one vote was the difference between the US becoming a German speaking country. WHO KNEW?!
As I look back, one change in which Institute class I signed up for could have changed my entire life. Who knows, I could be still looking for that someone special? One last minuet change in decision for Gunnar's work and we could be living in some far off country. A decision of which Doctor to choose to try to get pregnant and we could still be just us. The right house for sale at the right time when we were looking could have changed where we would be living? Just think.... we could be living in MESA! Oh, the possibilities!
The more you think about this topic the more paranoid you get. The realization that we don't have any control over what goes on in our lives. Our lives can and do change in one instant, second, minuet. The comfort is in who is in charge. Our Lord, knows us and knows our potentials, our limits, our minds and our lives. He placed strong men that lead those untrained yet valiant men into battle against the British. He gave this country the brilliant minds that it needed to flourish and prosper. He guided me to take that Institute class (I can't even remember which one it was, I was a little distracted by the blonde RM sitting next to me.) He has given us guided inspiration to make the decisions we need to make and many times when we don't even know it.
Here are some reflections of His guided inspiration in my life...
Oh, PS I don't have any wedding pics on my computer or else they would be here...

| Just before we found out we were pregnant with Britta |
 |
| Self explanatory... |
 |
| This picture doesn't quite grasp the 'essence' of Britta. |
 |
| This one does. |
 |
| We miss you Winter... We have no decent family photos since Sedona.... |
 |
| School. It has saved our lives! |
 |
| The cutest girls in Britta's playgroup! |
 |
| I don't even know why I choose this picture but, It may be my favorite one of her. |
 |
| I love how excited McKay looks in this pic! |
It's not hard to find your guided inspiration. All you have to do is look around you.
