There is certainly an amount of predestination by God involved in our lives, but I don't believe that He ever takes away our free will, even though He knows which choices we will make. He brings people into your life for a reason and its your choice on how to respond. Both!

Predestined? Absolutely. There is a high degree of probability that the "coincidences" in our lives are part of a greater overall plan (One that we may only know of when we die). To look at some of the variables invovled in just the story you told would involve many numbers times many exponentials. You do the math: Its destiny, period! Fact: Life is destiny! Predestined?

I agree all around. I say the faces may change, the personalities stay the same (good and bad). What I would like to comment on is that you've done something that I still have to do (and I'm a bit terrified about). Go back to school. I've spent the past 25 plus years working, raising a family etc....is it my time yet? HUGE Congrats! I hope when I grow up I can be just like you :) Great topics. I agree all around.

My answer probably does not help you at all! LOL...sorry I don’t like the idea that my life has been predetermined but I also believe things happen for a reason.

Part of free will is being able to see and make choices. Ten years ago, you may not have been ready to see things with the same clarity that you do today. Heck there was something that you and I saw while reading each other's blogs that have allowed us to keep in touch for the past 6+ months. There is an element of kismet, but you've always possessed the free will, but you didn't always appreciate the depth of your choices. Love the topic, hope you appreciate my belief.

Congratulations on a wonderful achievement!! Second - I believe in a little bit of both, but most of all I do believe in kindred spirits. I met a guy at work that, when I looked into his eyes when he smiled, had this look about it that read "remember me?" He then said, "We've met before..." and it was kind of an a-ha moment since, we've never met in this life, but feel we've known each other in another life. It was trippy, and he then fostered my learning of Buddhism and love of marathons. I'm pretty sure he was my father in a past life. :) And with discovering your friend - it definitely sounds like you two were (and are!) kindred spirits, as well! First off - Happy Graduation!!
