If She Hadn't

If the green-eyed girl hadn't met the boy with curly blonde hair and dimples, she never would have sent an email that changed her life in a million different ways.
If she hadn't sent that email, she wouldnt have built a friendship with the boy with dimples. If she hadn't built that friendship, she wouldnt have been told about a youth group that would show her what life was really about.
If she hadn't been curious about the youth group, she never would have shown up one cold Sunday evening to be met with warm faces onces inside the church doors.
If she hadn't shown up, she wouldnt have witnessed the fire and desire for more radiating off the youth.
If she hadn't witnessed the pure loning for more in the voices raised during praise and worship, she never would have realized how complacent and weak her own desire for the Lord was.
If she hadn't realized her emptiness, she never would have attentded Bible study and learned about Daniel and his strength to stand up for his faith, even if he faced death.
If she hadn't learned about Daniel she wouldn'd have learned to trust God in all things.
If she hadn't learned to trust God, she never would have made him the number one love of her life, discarding all others.
If she hadn't made God her love, he would have shut the door on her budding relationship with the curly haired boy in order to bring her back to Him.
If she hadn't trusted God to give her all she needs in his time, she wouldn't have the best friends who support her and build her up.
If she hadn't continued to seek God, in everything she never would have been put on her knees in overwhelming conviction, tear streaming down her face, with a desire to worship and follow Christ with every fiber of her being.
If she hadn't been given the desire and passion to use all she had for Christ, she wouldn't have joined the praise team.
If she hadn't joined the praise team, she wouldn't have encountered the joy of being in the presence of God.
If the green-eyed girl hadn't sent the email she wouldn't have learned to meet with God.
If she hadn't learned to meet with God, she would be nothing.
