Coincidence or Providence?

So last night we had the first of our FOCUS Bible Studies. Upon revealing that I was a senior, much to the surprise of a couple of the guys that were present (I'm not sure how old they thought I was...I was afraid to ask.), one of the kids, somewhat cautiously asked me 'what I wanted to do.'

I told him that I was studying Chemical Engineering, but planned on walking away from my degree once I was graduated (a somewhat light-hearted response I like to employ). He prompted me to go further...to actually explain what it was that I planned to do instead.

So I replied that I was pretty sure I was applying for seminary.

He jumped up and yelled, "I KNEW IT!!! I COULD JUST TELL!"

Seeing as I was just sitting there (in sweatpants, no less) talking completely normally, I was a little surprised at his surety. Nevertheless, I couldn't help but smile at his response.

I don't know what it was about me that had "possible future seminarian" written across my forehead, but regardless, I felt honored to even give off that impression. I've known quite a few seminarians in my day, and they have been without exception some of the most honorable Christian men I know.
