Are our lives determined by destiny? Is every detail of our lives already mapped out for us? Sometimes I think yes then other times I think no. Pretty wishy washy huh. I believe that certain factors in our lives are fate but we can in some ways shape our destiny.
I believe I was destined to meet my husband when I did. I had a rather loser of a boyfriend from my senior year of high school for about five years. I really liked him at first and we did have a sweet kind of high school relationship. But after awhile things changed, we both changed, matured. He drank a lot, which always bothered me a little bit, he was never violent with me or verbally abusive but he was never really nice either. After awhile I think that my confidence started to falter and I stayed because I didn't think I could get anyone else. Anyways after I started watching all of my close friends get married, I thought what am I doing? I don't want this for the rest of life. I ended things and with the help of some good friends I didn't feel sorry for myself at all.
My friend and I decided to go camping and invited her boyfriend and one of his friends. I was not looking for a relationship at all, I had only been single again for a few months. But during our trip and the month after it I knew that he would be the only that I married. When we talked about our lives there were so many times that our paths had crossed when we had not noticed each other. I like to say fate brought us together at that time because we were both ready for each other then and only then not before.
Sometimes I step back and look at my life now and can't believe how much I have. I have a wonderful husband, a great step son and a beautiful daughter. I couldn't have asked for a better destiny.

You gotta beleive after that that it was meant to be for sure. ;) It's good to be blessed.
i'm with you...i strongly believe that much of our lives is mapped out before we even take our first breath of air out of the womb. you've got to have faith in a "divine order"...that someone out there has a "master plan" laid out for you. there is comfort in that.
at the same time, i think we are also given experiences and paths to choose from. for instance, it is our destiny to be on a particular road...but we choose which path to take when we come to the fork. so i guess, in a way, it is a little of both. destiny is always there...you just have to choose it. :)
I truly believe the same! Our lives our "Mapped" out. We meet people, do things all for a special reason. You are so blessed to have found someone so special like Doug! I can tell how happy you are. :)
