This lead me changing to a new school in my last year of school & our new neighbour inviting me to Sunday Morning Youth and the church where I met my husband of 26+years.
1971 is also a significant year for me as I was born in 1971, so have a special birthday coming up later in the year.

And praise God for directing even the “insignificant momentary decisions.” One of mine occurred shortly after 11:00 a.m. or so, the first day of classes, sophomore year, September 1968. Biology started at noon so I headed to the cafeteria for lunch. Moments later, tray in hand, I looked for a place to sit. “Hey, Nancy!” called my friend, Cecil. (Yes, Cecil!!) “Come eat with us!” That table of five or six ate lunch together the entire semester. Next to me each day sat a handsome guy named Steve. We became good friends, teasing each other, bantering back and forth. Soon he was walking me to biology and that led to dating. We were married, August 1970. (Thank you, Cecil!)

I still have a clear memory of meeting my Jim. It will be 50 years in October for our first meeting. And as you say, Poof! We didn’t marry until 1974. And yes, God has been faithful all these years. Thanks for this beautiful framing of a single moment, that indeed was so significant.
