Everything happens for a reason. I used to hate when people would say this because bad things happen to good people, sometimes really bad things and I don't get it. I don't expect the world to be neat and perfect but when really bad things happen I would just think...why? I've grown in this process for many reasons and am now okay with this "reasoning" train of thought. It still upsets me but now I really feel like you have to see the big picture and yes it's sad but if something, anything good comes from it then there is purpose.
I joined a small discussion group at a church that we are thinking about joining a few weeks ago. This is a whole separate thought/conversation but it's something that I've been wanting to do for a long time.
It's time.
Anywho, we met for our first meeting at a restaurant and there was a girl at the end of the table that I KNEW I had met before. Her face was familiar, her voice was too. We chatted and as it turns out she just moved here from Raleigh and after exhausting some of the places we frequent, no connection was made.
At the second meeting we realized we both had once lived in Memphis. We were talking to others so we didn't expand but I thought maybe that 's where I knew her from?
I told my story that night and of course a huge part of it was about Patrick.

She, her name is Daphne, left me a message a few days later that she had made the connection. We kept missing each other so I was really looking forward to our next meeting, hoping she had cracked the code. She had.

She went to the DAISY website and saw Patrick's picture. She used to work for Patrick in Memphis.

Small world? Fate? Destiny? We have both been through so much and are both looking to grow spiritually.

It is a cool connection.

Maybe there is a method to the madness?
