Does anyone else here believe there is no such thing as a coincidence? I "stumbled" upon this website... not sure how I got here, but am very happy I did.

Coincidences are happenings that coinside with a need you have. Just a thought...

Happy you found us.

I also do NOT believe in coincidences.
For me, they are evidences that God is in control: sovereign.
Whether He uses angels or direct Will to show me doesn't matter
to me. Just a thought...

There is more than one reality (that which most people tend to live within.)
A congruent aspect of more than one reality proves the greatness of God to me.

Quantum physics has proved the "observer effect." This is where what you believe you will
see, is what will be. (Not just what you think you see, but what actually becomes.) It is
the substance of what others call "faith."

When people pray for the same thing, it happens. This is not only God's Will and strength, imo
but science. What some term a "coincidence" is not happenstance at all to me, but a
"meeting of the Spiritual natures" of mankind and God.

Just a thought...

(I hope this is not too close to guideline limits. Just a thought... Please let me know if so, and allow me to edit. )

Yes, all the time.

I think I was meant to survive and I was meant to have my daughter. I don't really know why yet, but I think it was meant to happen.

There is no other logical explanation to how I survived my last s attempt in 2004. Other than the fact that it was not my "time" to go yet, and my daughter was conceived 2 months later.

I don't know exactly what I believe as far as God and all that, but I do believe that some things happen for a reason, and those reasons are beyond our control.

Welcome ((((((((((( sunshineangel ))))))))))))))

I'm glad you "stumbled across" us. Just a thought... PC is a great place, and massive support and care can be found here.

I don't believe in coincidence or "luck". I've seen too much that appeared to be just that...then be hugely important...even life-saving. Just a thought...

Again, welcome!

(((((((sunshineangel))))))

So glad you found us here! Welcome to PC! I look forward to getting to know you. New friends are always a good thing!

As far as coincidence, I don't believe in things like that. Time and time again it seems God has put me exactly where I needed to be or lead others that I needed to the place I am!

Blessings to you!

Nope...there is a reason for everything--or at least I'd like to think so!
