We spent years unknowingly orbiting each other’s lives. We grew up in the same apartment complex only a few doors apart. We crossed paths at Whitehorse Middle School, worked together at McDonald's, and later attended La Follette High School together. Even with all those moments of proximity, we had never truly connected. Years later during college, after life had taken us both in different directions, Sebastian asked me out to lunch so we could finally get to know one another better. At the time, I joked that life has a funny way of bringing folks back around full circle. Now we know it was God all along, gently orchestrating our two lives together long before we understood why.
