His story included mailing off hand-written letters to potential graduate school supervisors (today we just email) and driving cross country to meet them to see if the match was a good one (today we just Zoom).<\/p>\n<p>At the end of his story, he wrapped up with a quiet, thoughtful pause and said, in almost a whisper, as if he was talking to himself more than to us at the table, \u201cI guess I have serendipity to thank for all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That phrase he used\u2014revealing his gratitude to serendipity&#8211; has stuck with me, not for its insightfulness, but for its emptiness. How sad to have a beautiful story and no one to thank for it.<\/p>\n<p>Serendipity\u2014defined by the Oxford dictionary as \u201cthe occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way\u201d\u2014stands in stark contrast to Sovereignty\u2014defined by the same dictionary as \u201csupreme power or authority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are many examples of God\u2019s sovereignty in Scripture. God used difficult circumstances in the life of Joseph, involving deception and evil from his own brothers, so that the nation of Israel is later preserved from famine (Genesis 37-41). Daniel is exiled to a foreign land in an amazingly elaborate plan by God himself to bring glory to the name of the One True God (Daniel 1-12).<\/p>\n<p>Other examples of God\u2019s sovereignty include a baby for Sarah, though much later in her life than she would have planned (Genesis 21), and a baby for Mary (Luke 1, Matthew 1), though much earlier in her life than she intended. Both of these babies were planned by God for his purposes and in his timing, particularly the latter one, to save for himself a great nation (I Peter 2:9).<\/p>\n<blockquote>These biblical stories tell of God\u2019s sovereignty, not serendipity. Our stories are also tales of God\u2019s sovereignty.&nbsp;<\/blockquote>\n<p>So next time, when asked how I became a professor, I pray the Lord will give me courage to boldly explain how God provided opportunities I never expected and his hand can be clearly seen in all of it. Or when someone in the grocery store tells me that my hands are full (I have five kids), may I simply respond that \u201cGod has been good to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If we are in Christ, we have a beautiful story God has given us. The difference between our stories, as Christians, and the stories of the world (even the lovely ones like my professor friend\u2019s),&nbsp;is that we know who to thank for the goodness given to us.<\/p>\n<p>May we not let the goodness of God in our lives go to waste.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-343d523 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"343d523\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1e474ca\" data-id=\"1e474ca\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-102a0f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"102a0f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong> Mallory Marshall<\/strong><br \/>Kinesiology<br \/>Samford University<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not long ago, I was at a research conference with students and faculty members from the region.
