The World of A Christian is Smaller Than You May Think.

Sometimes, we really do just live in a small world:

*Sept.'82--I was born at CRH/ Nov.'82--a Nathanael B. was born at CRH/Sometime '83 (?--oops!) Nathanael's sister Bethany is born. I never knew these people existed
--18 years later: Nathanael gives his testimony at NBBI--says he was born in Calais/(so was his sister!)
--Sister Bethany ends up becoming one of my closest friends in the ENTIRE world
(Does that strike anyone?--It still blows me away!)

*I've worked at Living Waters Bible Conference (in Danforth, ME) for 7 years. And my first summer there: there was a counselor there, with the last name Tattrie, from Charlottetown, PEI. And then he was there 2 summers later. Didn't think much of it. BUT OH WAIT--when I read who I was staying with, low and behold, the last name was "Tattrie"--this very boy's parents! But it doesn't just stop there: there was a boy in the wilderness program at LW , Jon, and I remember how we got stuck playing ping-pong together (I was probably a nervous wreck--playing with that boy, who barely ever spoke a word, while the Lord was probably just laughing at me--which is okay.:0)...never thought much of it...until like 7 years later, at NBBI, when we meet again...and then the fact I ended up doing 4th year at his church! (Which I swear has nothing to do with why I am here...) and the poor guy ended up being my next door neighbor (for 4 mnths) and co-leader (in almost everything!) for 8 months!! But--it doesn't just end there either: his sister, Shira, was my closest friend at LW during summer '01. Also.... I went to Bible school with a guy, Joel--who just so happens to be a fellow tree planter with Jon!! (Who even knows about the tree planting business?!)

*Also, because of LW--I meet a few girls who lived in the St.John area of NB, Canada. That's cool: but I ended up visiting them a few times--and meeting their friends. And then ended up going to Bible school with their friends (not knowing that they were even there!) And one of the guys: Mike--his sisters (they're twins!) ended up becoming a couple of my best friends!. And the other guy: well...his girlfriend happened to live only 20 min. away from me--and we had never met each other: And needless to say, I ended up singing at their wedding!!


*This past summer, down in NEW YORK, there was a girl, Erin B., who I happened to actually have heard of (due to bizarre circumstances), whose father is one of the pastors of the church here in C'Town PEI! How bizarre is all of this, eh?

There is much more that I could write, about a lot of circumstance and people: these are just the few that stand out to me...

So...I don't know if things like this have ever happened to ya'll--but let me know, if ya' do.
