This thread is for you to tell a story about a time events played out in your favor.
This week:
Last week was spring break and some homework was assigned over it for the end of this week. However I didn’t get much of it done. So now I was expecting a bunch more homework this week, with the addition of spring break homework plus a test. However Fargo is flooding badly. So NDSU canceled classes until friday, all teachers moved back assignments. And now i’m ahead of schedule. If that wasn’t enough I couldn’t have gone to school today or yesterday because of a sickness I picked up back home. So yeah, I would have been so far behind if we had classes. Homework posponed, sickness while classes canceled, extra freetime. Nice.
Last Thursday my morning class was cut short because of a meeting my prof had to attend, and my afternoon class was cancelled because that prof was sick. I was done class at 10:30am. Since I don’t have class on Fridays, I got an even longer than usual long weekend. Never a bad thing.
Dunno if you’d call it lucky, but at this time when I’m really contemplating how my loans are gonna pile up over the next few years of college, I was awarded yesterday with a $2600 per semester grant that is good for all 4 years at A&M and is guaranteed to either stay the same or go up. Made me happy.
I don’t believe in “luck”, but in the providence of God. But I’ll post here nevertheless.
Anyhow, I was riding on my bike through the parking lot of Wal-Mart the other day, and I was going fast. Somebody’s car door popped open in front of me, and WHAM, I hit it. But I didn’t fall to the ground as my bike did. Even though a lot of the impact went to my shoulder, I only have/had a few small bruises to show for it.
Are you seriously 31 years old? It’s funny how you see a post of mine, and being the first one to post, posts sarcasticly that it isn’t like most my other threads. An interesting side fact, being here at NDSU, (basically just a university), the kids tend to believe, or look into furtherly, in 9/11 as an inside. Now university kids are generally smarter than kids that didn’t go to college. Now don’t give me that drunken collegeness, because everyone knows kids all drink the same amount whether in college or not. It’s just the type of parties that change. (We just don’t hear about all the parties that happen outside of college).
Seriously you can’t be 31 with comments like that.
Watch In Plain Sight for me. Maybe you’ll believe someone older telling the story. (That’s sad on its own though.)
Two thoughts: 1) It WAS funny… that’s why he posted it. Regardless of how old or young he is, that post made me chuckle.
2) Maybe God is trying to show you that He loves you even if you spit in His face and claim he doesn’t exist… He IS a loving God.
Also, my story. Last week was spring break for us too. I don’t have a car so i was grabbing a ride with a buddy of mine. We were heading north on Highway 6 when the left front tire caught gravel (we had drifted to the left a bit, and were already in the left lane on a part of the road with no shoulder) we swerved back to the right to stay on the road, and almost hit another car in the right lane. To avoid that though, we swerved back to the left and ended up in the wet, muddy, grassy median. At this point all control of the vehicle was lost. We careened towards a crossover lane (the ones used by emergency vehicles only to quickly change directions on a rural highway). The hill/crossover lane launched us into the air and started us rolling. We rolled through oncoming traffic (without being hit or hitting anything) and ended up between the southbound lanes of traffic and the access road, facing south, on all four wheels, about 100-200 yards down the road (North) from where we first caught gravel. Me and my friend who was driving were the only two people involved, because we were the only car involved. According to the truck that pulled over to help us we rolled about 5 times and had they hit their brakes a fraction of a second later than they did, they would have hit us as we crossed the oncoming traffic lanes. My suitcase ended up outside the the SUV, the roof was caved in about 8 inches from where my friend’s head was, and a backpack full of heavy text books that was in the back seat was now at my feet (suggesting that at some point it must have come close to my head as it made the switch from back of car to front of car). Both my friend and I walked away from the wreckage unharmed except for one or two minor abrasions between the both of us. My unicycle was also undamaged. The paramedics told us (or, mentioned and we overheard) the last wreck they saw that was that bad killed one of the cars occupants and maimed the others. God exists.
Last night I thought I was getting a little low on cash, after paying rent and a few other things. Luckily, after I opened my door, there was a $20 bill just sitting right outside.
Nothing too lcuky for today. Im heading to a friends hosue and maybe something will happen once im back home.
Ok… I’m not actually suggesting that my survival PROVES the existence of God, I’m merely asserting that I attribute my survival to God. Also, it seems you are using my post that shows I believe in God to show that I am, as I asked in the Pope/condom thread, retarded. So what I’m sensing is that you equate lack of faith with intelligence level. Or that you equate Christianity with stupidity? Either way, I’m not sure why it is necessary to try and tear someone down for not believing as you do. Chances are I’ve in the past made similarly rude posts towards non-Christian folks, and for that I apologize. I’ve matured a lot since coming to college, both in what I believe and how I react to those who disagree. As far as starting a debate, I don’t want to, so I’m not going to get into why other people die and I didn’t; at least not here and now.
