They "Just So Happened" to be There

so here's the story. (at least as close to how i've heard it over and again in the past few days)
Marie, one of the JV counselors, was tubing with Sarah, a fellow counselor. the tube gets flipped, and somehow, Marie gets ht in the head and goes unconscious. Sarah, who "just so happens" to be a life guard, was able to get to Marie immediately and turn her so her face is not in the water. meanwhile, Cora is life guarding on the raft (or maybe the patrol boat) sees whats going on and, despite the fact that she is silent as a mouse, she is able to find her voice and through the walky-talky, informs Trevor (head life guard on the beach) of what is going on. Trev jumps on the rescue board and flies across the lake at a speed that those watching couldn't believe. meanwhile, Jay, "just so happens" to be guarding in the patrol at the time (Michal was scheduled, but he had been double booked with the ropes course, so Jay took his place on water front). Jay also "just so happens" to be the one who planed out the emergency process, and "just so happened" to be at camp at all, he was just visiting for the week and is not a staffer. (Jay also "just so happens to be in the navy :-) anyways, Jay jumps in and swims to Marie and is able to help pull her to shallow water. meanwhile 911 is being called and campers are being taken out of the water and everything is running smoothly, running smoothly because everyone is able to comunicate clearly to each other through the 4 new walky-talkies that "just so happened" to come in that day (they used every last one of them that day) plus, J.D. an old time camp person and "just so happens" to be an on call EMS "just so happened" to be right around the corner from camp and heard the call and got there right away.
Marie is fine and back at camp now...but the number of ppl who were there and "werent supposed" to be, and the things that happened that "werent supposed" to still gets me so excited and giddy and makes me wanna jump whenever i think bout it! God was MOST DEFIANTLY at work that day, and He used that situation to prove to us that He is in control and He's got us taken care of in His strong and able hands!
