Can you remember the last job for which you applied? Or how you met your best friend? Or how it came about that you attempted the greatest thing you ever accomplished? Can you remember how you got to hear about and investigate Steemit?

Can you remember how many random and completely unexpected events occurred for any of the above to happen? Things that you were unable to plan or control?

I want to suggest to you that anything can happen in your life this week. This can be the week that you meet a stranger that can become your best friend ever. This can be the week that you discover a new opportunity that could impact your future for the best. So many things can happen this week!

Sometimes the randomness of it all can make me nervous. I'm naturally a bit of a control freak and would prefer to be in control of my life and of that very uncontrollable thing called __'tomorrow'__.

This may be different for some of you but I find peace in the midst of all this randomness by turning to the One who controls it all. Many years ago Bill and Gloria Gaither penned these words as they faced an uncertain time. The song became a part of my childhood and understanding of the randomness of events.

<center>Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!</center>

My wife often speaks of _'divine appointments'_ when we look into an unknown future and anticipate what could possibly happen. We hope and pray for such divine appointments that will impact our lives from a benevolent hand.

You may have a different perspective but whatever your perspective, this week so many things may come your way. May it be good things. And may you wake up each morning with childlike anticipation wondering what may happen. Most of all, may you be ready to grab a hold of whatever amazing opportunity may show up.

Walk through that next open door! You may not know what is on the other side but everything may change. Just be ready!
