Godsequence

The word Godsequence came to me as a gift from God a few years ago. I use the word a lot and share it as often as possible so I thought this was a good venue to share.

I believe that there are no coincidences, small world experiences or ironies in life. They are all Godsequences.

If you are a believer in God; if you ask Him for guidance and wisdom; if you trust that He will give you guidance and wisdom; if you are open to Him; then what others think of as a "coincidence," is actually a direct result of God working in your life--thus, a Godsequence.

And, the great thing about this word, is the more you use it, the more you will experience Godsequences. I believe using the word is a form of worship; a thanksgiving or praise. And God loves to be thanked so He bestows more and more Godsequences in your life.

Here's just a couple of illustrations in my life. On my last flight I was reading a book on Jerusalem as I was considering making a trip to the Holy Lands. At the time the news was full of the coverage of the violence and unrest in Gaza. Among my considerations for the trip was my safety. My seatmate travels a lot in his business and was going to Jerusalem the next month and offered to email me with his experience. My seatmate was a Godsequence.

In 2007 I started planning a trip to Ireland and started researching renting a house over there. At the same time I got to know someone (we took our grandchildren to a music class) who had a cousin who not only was from and lived in Ireland but worked for....the Irish Tourism Board. She found me the perfect house. A Godsequence!

I could go on and on with small and large examples but I'd rather you try it! I promise, the more you use the word, the more you will experience Godsequences.

  1. I love that word. I can't tell you how many times I have told people about it. I was thinking about you saying that using the word was a form of worship. Had to mull that over a bit until I got that "ah ha" moment. YES, it's giving Him the credit. Got it. :)

  2. I'm with Lori, love that word and have used it many times after you introduced it to us a few years back.

    I believe that my recent GODSEQUENCE was when I had to cancel my surgery for Jan. 26th. I won't go over the circumstances, but as it turned out, I would have had to cancel it that day, instead of three weeks before, as I ended up that day having the flu.

    Of course I was disappointed having to cancel, but could you see having to cancel THAT day due to the flu?

    Godsequence? Yep, I believe so!

    But I am hoping there will not be any more Godsequences until after March 9th, the new day of my surgery! lol

  3. I love that word, too, and am planning on starting to use it a lot more. The whole last 2 years of my life have been full of "Godsequences"!
