One thing I have learned over my years of life is how intertwined and interwoven everyone is. Each IMG_6319experience we have, and each person we meet, leads us to someone else or something else.

When I look back on the people I have known, people I have met at different points in my life, I’m constantly amazed at how many people knew each other and I knew them at separate times.

I live in a big city, but sometimes it almost seems like a small town, or small bar where everyone knows your name and many things about you.

In regard to faith, seeing a picture of these vines interacting reminds me of how many areas of our life come together. God has placed each turn and wrap and each person in our lives for our particular journey.

Step back this week and try to trace your journey so far. See how many connections you find! Share them in the comments!
