Serendipity: My Version




Serendipity-- the ability to make pleasant and unexpected discoveries entirely by chance
Sarahendipity-- my (often unexpected) discovery good, beauty, and blessings in my life

I don't believe in fate, so my version of serendipity is more about seeing what's already there--and recognizing that it comes from God. Example: the view from my living room and bedroom. My last apartment had a very nice view of Mt. Nebo and Utah Valley, which I loved. It was one of the things that I regretted leaving. When I signed the contract for my new apartment, I had only seen it at night--I had no idea what the windows held. But when we moved in, I couldn't believe it. A perfect view of Timanogos-my favorite mountain! I often eat meals or study on the balcony and give thanks for this relaxing view every single day.
