The Thoughts of Ryan-C

So a few weeks back, we (a group of us at my church) started discussing how all of the seemingly insignificant events in our lives have really changed who we are and how we got to where we are. If we view God as sovereign over all things, then this really creates great implications in our lives. The small events aren’t really small and everything has significance if God is in control. His orchestrating hand is constantly involved in our lives. No matter how much control we think we have, God ultimately always has it all. He has brought us to where we are by his sovereign grace and pleasure. 

This conversation caused me to think about my past and how I got to where I am. I didn’t really focus on my childhood, but mostly on the last 5 years and the drastic changes and events that have happened. None of them were by chance and none of them were insignificant. So I decided to map out what the last 5 years of my life and how I got to where I am. I put together this little “popplet” to give a visual demonstration of all the key events that happened and how I got to where I am. I went from one school to another, one city to a different state and back, one university to another, met my wife, learned about God and whole lot of other things. Check out this diagram to see just how crazy the past few years have been and how God has been orchestrating it all.

I encourage you to look back on the seemingly random events in your life and how God used them to bring you to the place you are at today. 

If you have any questions about this diagram, my life or anything, feel free to ask on here or shoot me a message on twitter.
