do you think some people are just destined to meet?

Destined to meet

Yes I do. I believe life is a series of accidents about to happen. You go for a practice interview and take the job in a foreign country. You rarely return to the old homeland. You are asked to help out here and there and end up moving here and there. You meet someone in a chat room and have a tumultuous relationship for a while. You meet others for one off encounters. You meet another in similar circumstances and get married. Life changes you and you adapt. Plans are ideas made to be changed. Advice is something to deviate from as you like. As Robert Burns said, "The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley". Believe it.
 
My best friend is a Math Professor. She says that everything has already happened. She's an atheist, but she says that God (if He exists) can see everything at once, past, present, and future. It's just us flukes of the universe that have to go through it heartbeat by heartbeat.

So, yah, there aren't any "accidents" where God (if He exists) is like, "Christ! I didn't know THAT was going to happen!"

Love,

Jamie
 
destiny

21 years ago, i met my wife on AOL. She lived 1000 miles away from me. A few months later we met in person. 6 months after that, we moved her to where i lived. i can not say we have lived the perfect and most romantic marriage ever....but what i can say is.....it was 21 years ago, we are still together, and i think we are closer and better today than we were in the beginning. I wasn't "looking" for her.....had never been to the area she lived in....and would never have encountered her any other way. we joke about being "early adopters" and, of course, now days people meeting all over the country via online connections is not that uncommon.....21 years ago....it was still fairly new. i think she is who i am supposed to be with....who i was meant to be with......so....was it destiny? was it God's plan? whatever it was.....here we are :)

I believe that God is outside of time. Time is a measurement that we humans seem to need to keep up with things or somehow track things. I believe that all that is, was, or ever will be has always been known by God. The key thing is....I also believe that we all have complete free will to do whatever we will or want to. The thing is - God already knows us, our heart, our mind, and what we will do. Sometimes it really helps me to remember not to worry too much about things.....as God already knows. Us humans, in our limited ability to fathom what really exists, and how big and full of love God is.....are often trapped into thinking we are somehow in control of something - or that we are making something happen....but as God said in the book of Jeremiah.....He knew us before we were even in the womb.....He had a plan for us......He has a plan for every one of us....each of you reading this.....you may or may not be presently living in His will or fulfilling His plan for you.....but He sent you to do a thing that only you can do.....and it is never too late to seek out His will and His plan for your life and get on task and do what you were created for. Somewhere along your way, someone else's life may depend on that.
 
I believe that some people are destined to meet, but I also believe that sometimes it just happens that they new each other from the beginning. The sad part is many of the ones who have known for a long time never venture down that avenue because of the fear of losing the friend.
 
I believed it, and felt it, but honestly starting to doubt I’m supposed to be close to anyone. I hope it’s true, as it’s good to hear other’s stories, but for me - I’m going to continue shutting everyone out, because as a friend used to say “I’m just not made for anyone”. Sad, but true. I’m really not!
 
I wish...

I wish I could say that I believe that. Fate - or whatever you want to call it is capricious. Things will happen or they will not. I’ve yet to see any rhyme nor reason to who I meet.
 
I believe they are, but more often than not it never comes to fruition.
I met someone that i felt an immediate connection to, & (he said) him to me. We werent even that far apart from each other. Sometimes life gets in the way. Sometimes the doubts on either or both sides can eventually wear down even a strong connection. I was not even remotely looking for someone & was completely blindsided. I still feel the same as i did in the beginning but sadly think that we , now, will never meet. I hope im wrong. If you feel something derp in your heart go with it. Fight for it if you can. Just dont be surprised if your heart gets broken.
 
Yes I believe anyone who comes into your life for a period of time and has an impact on you was placed there for a reason. Although sometimes it’s hard to see why.

I also believe in fate.

Fate, good fortune, and what I call 'happenstance'
 
I am a big believer that people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
 
Yes I do believe it. Hubby and I laugh sometimes at the events in our lives that brought us together. Thirty-eight years later here we are.
 
I guess I am a bit cynical but I don't. I've met a lot of assholes. I don't want to believe I was destined to meet them.
 
Yes i believe, to many reasons to explain but yes. And i think God, if you let him, it, her, will guide you toward them. Sometimes it for the bad though and we learn a lesson. Other times it's for the good and we find love.
Extreme examples but still, yes i believe.
