Your story of meeting Monica is a great one and is hard to argue was orchestrated by a force outside yourself. Now when it comes to the "good" stuff in our lives it seems easier to me to explain how God brought it all together...where people struggle and disagree is with the bad stuff. I would be interested to hear you would explain Gods Sovereignty over some of the "hard stuff" that you faced. I'm sure it's not true...but your post leads me to believe you didn't really experience the type of junk that some people wrestle with on a deep level with in their faith.

But God was at work in Sunday School teachers and students who invited me there. Teachers who were believers that reached out and invited me to youth group. And then a Young Life leader who was cool enough to visit campus one day and end up sitting next to me. He invited me to their club. I gave my life to Christ that night.
