Did God bring us together?

I saw a beautiful girl on a bus, we were both involved in a student awareness group fighting poverty. We were 2 of 120 student leaders from around the country. I knew I wanted to meet her the minute I saw her.

Before the trip, I asked God if there was a reason for Him sending me on this trip. I felt it fell in my lap and this just does not seem like something that would happen with out God being involved. So I prayed about it, and had thoughts that I was supposed to meet someone on this trip.

After seeing this girl I thought was beautiful (in a way that was beautiful to me, but wouldn't be for everyone!) and wanted to get to know, we were at different tables in a conference room listening to a speaker. Now, I should mention many of the 120 students were not Christian or religious. The girl that I had seen on the bus raised her hand and asked a question. She asked a question mentioning her faith in it!! Her voice was beautiful also, with a slight southern accent....

I knew I had to get to know her. I felt this was the girl God wanted me to meet.

I prayed about this to myself. Later that night I saw her a few tables away and felt nervous. I really do not want to just approach her randomly. Then I realized something...If God brought me here to meet this girl, surely He would make sure we met. So I prayed asking Him to just give me an opportunity to meet her, just something where it would not be awkward.

Shortly after that we were in a picture together, with about 8 other people. She was basically right in front of me. After the picture she turned to someone and introduced herself because they had not met yet, and then she turned to me...we hit it off immediately. I should mention that we noticed each other before this. When I first saw her she saw me. We looked at each other from table to table from time to time too. So it seemed that we were both already interested in knowing each other. We ended up hanging out for a few hours that night

I got to know her more than anyone else, and I believe she knows me better than anyone else she met that whole trip.

We seemed to like each other, but it was not made known directly ever and we were always with other people. Most of the time with her sister and her sister鈥檚 friend so it was only 4 of us.

But anyway, she lives in Alabama for school and I live in Michigan. We talk on the internet, and I am wondering if anyone her believes that God brings people together in this way or what they think.

I know ultimately I will just pray and trust God. I suppose if He did that much and had bigger plans for the two of us then He will guide me further.

God is awesome!

Yes...He is. I have to be honest and tell you it DOES sound like the hand of God was in the middle of your meeting. However, you have your own answer. Keep praying about it! Get to know her better. It sounds like you might be thinking she is the "one" and maybe God DID send her, but not for that purpose. Maybe he sent her to your life to teach you something about yourself, for example, as a friend---which could LEAD you to the "one." The more you get to know her, weigh her personality and qualities carefully against scripture and be sure as a woman she has the right characteristics for a friend or more. I will tell you, though---there is NO feeling in the world like being in the presence of a person whom you KNOW was sent by God. Open your heart and mind and ask GOD to show you why He sent her and He will.

Aww thats soo sweet, ive heard so many of these stories, they never get old. Sounds like something He would do.

dude! how did u type all these, but anyways, i think if u think god brought u two together, than u should take it as a message as in god wants u two to meet,and w.e is going to happen after u meet is up to u. if u really like her and she likes u back than there isn't a problem. if i were u, i'll pray for a permant solution as in this long distant relation thing. cuz from my personal belief, long distant relationship doesn't work, and it'll bring pain to both of u. anyways GOOD LUCK! HOPE U FIND UR HAPPINESS!

God is awesome! and i think its great that you have such faith in him, or at least seems like it anyways

God bring people together to glorify him and serve him and as a result of that is happieness and so on and so forth. so its a posibilty

i also believe that God brings people together because us humans have needs and so on and so forth

hope this helps

that story soudns so kool!
allright, so im not actually so sure that it is necesarily something from God, but ive lond ago decided that it just depneds on how we humans want to look at it.
meaning, if you look at the world as something with signs from GOd, then it will be. and if you see a miracle in everything, then it will be there. and tests, and options, etc.
im still not sure how much of it is just pure nature, and how much is actually directlyyy from God, but i believe that in the end it all roots down to God anyways.
then again, i had a really good conversation once with somebody, talking about free will and bad things that happen to people. he pretty much said to me that God gave us free will as a gift, with thr obvious side effect that meant nto only could we decided to do good things, but bad things also. and since God does not have any desire to take away our free will, he wont prevent us from doing bad things either, even if sometimes it is unfairly at someone else's expense. because when it comes doen to it, the majority pd people will prefer to live a short life of free will then a long, or mabe even eternal life of no free will.
im not exactly sure why im connecting this, but i think my point is just that the world doesnt ever take away our free will, which means that God didnt control you or her. but hten again, God is God, and He is ca[able of influencing things in ways that we connot comprehend, which do not forfeit our free willl
