Please paraphrase the following sentences.

1- Whatever God had in mind for her, the agenda had certainly changed, and that much was almost a relief.

2- It was one of those days when a person could reflect on the multiple millions of people crowded into Southern California and say, “I get it.”

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Why do you want these sentences paraphrased?

Thank you :)
I am translating a book (from English to Persian) and sometimes I need to ask for help with those sentences of the book which are ambiguous for me.
I'd be very grateful if you and other guys here could give me help :)

Please paraphrase the following sentences.

It's hard to paraphrase without knowing the context. Here's the best I could do:


1- Whatever God had in mind for her, the agenda had certainly changed, and that much was almost a relief.

In a way, it was good news. Though it wasn't good, there was something to be glad about.

2- It was one of those days when a person could reflect on the multiple millions of people crowded into Southern California and say, “I get it.”

Southern California is a huge sprawl of people. Some visitors are appalled. This was a day when the writer could appreciate that crowded environment.

Do those make sense?
