there is no such thing as "fate". God gave all His children many wonderful gifts when He created us - high on the list being our FREEWILL.
the reason God has given us all this gift of Freewill is that He wants our Love, and Love, of course, can never be forced but must be given freely. puppets can't love, nor can we be "fated" to Love!
having Freewill means that we are completely free in the choices we make in our lives and thus are responsible for those choices and their consequences - up to and including our Salvation. using "fate" as an explanation for negative things in our lives and/or for the absence of positive things in our lives is a "cop-out" - like someone trying to say that he was "fated" to have alcohol/drug problems before being rescued by the Lord.
that being said, not having "true love", a "big car", a "big income", etc. are not necessarily bad things - Spiritually speaking. stuff like that can come between us and God.
just a thought. anyway, more photos of talentime! (: courtesy of marianne!
