Starting off Serious


How much influence does God have on a life?  How many things actually happen for a reason?

When something bad happens, I usually proclaim it to be nothing more than the random chance of the world; however, when something good happens, I see it as a blessing and a sign of God's work.  Should it be the other way around?

I recently got rejected for a part in a play.  After the initial disappointment, I started to think about other opportunities for me in the theatre.  I made the decision to ask the directors of our local theatre if I could help.  I don't usually go looking for opportunities.  Could God possibly have had a hand in my rejection, so I could learn this lesson?  What if the directors of the theatre don't need me?  Is the lesson invalid, or was that also a part of God's plan?

Is it arrogant of me to think that God would take such a personal interest in my life?  Sometimes, I think so.  I'm nobody important, and how dare I presume that I am someone to whom God would pay close attention.  

Does he really have a plan for every individual?  Is everyone truly that important?

The answer to these queries:  I don't know.
