Supernatural Synchronicity

I had a really cool supernatural synchronicity happen this week that I can't resist sharing. These kinds of things don't happen very often, but when they do I want to make sure to give credit where credit is due.

One of my life goals is to visit the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany where Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses. And last week, during our Big Idea meeting, I verbalized the idea of doing an on location series in Wittenberg. I thought it'd be a cool place to shoot something. Maybe a series on the five solas. But I didn't see how it could happen because of finances.

A few days after verbalizing that idea, I got invited to be part of an international gathering of thinkers discussing the future of the church. Where does the meeting take place? Wittenberg, Germany! And it's all-expenses paid.

Is that pure coincidence? Or providence? All I know is this, when I pray "coincidences" happen. And when I don't, they don't. So I tend to think of coincidences as providences. And when our God-ordained dreams meet the sovereignty of God, supernatural synchronicities happen. Nothing like knowing that God is ordering your footsteps!

That is really amazing...I love when God shows up big to meet the desires of our hearts...especially when naturally it seems impossible.

In seminary right now, I am reading about the 95 Theses. Luther was a radical dude for Christ!

Wow... Sounds like God is up to something over @ NCC. Can't wait to see what you guys stumble upon in Wittenberg. I know it feels great to be smack-dab in the middle of what God is cooking up especially with the gathering in Germany.
