Amazing Coincidence

I frequent an online homeschooling forum. One of the women on there made a few comments through the months leading me to believe she lived near where I grew up. That in itself, is amazing, because I grew up in a very tiny farm community. No one has ever heard of it unless they live within 20 miles of that town. She never gave any specifics; I just had a feeling. I made a half joking comment to her yesterday, and we decided to e-mail each other. Lo and behold, she lived very near that little town, had actually been there that day, and attends church in the even smaller town 5 miles away that I moved to after high school. I don't personally know this woman, but we have many mutual friends. I really do find that an amazing coincidence: I joined the online forum because of the excellent curriculum reviews and advice on the site. There are thousands of women there from all parts of our world. I never would have dreamt that I would meet someone on the internet that is from the area I spent 24 years of my life in!
