What can separate you from His love..........

I was just coming back inside and could not help but notice the beautiiful sun shine. The day has been gloomy but God still shines upon us. It made me think of things we all have been through, but how God still shines. You know often we as a family just do not sit and talk about things that happen. I know we are all busy and have our own agendas but it is nice to always catch up:)
I was looking back on Randy and I and started thinking about alot of things.
As you may or may not know, Randy and I met in 1995 as co-workers. We never looked at each other in any other way. And I was not looking for a boyfriend nor was he looking for a wife!
We were friends and to be honest sometimes he even was annoying. Well we skip through the years.......Depression starting setting in again, and it got to the point I could not stand it anymore. This was around 2002. I decided to go have a meeting with my Pastor and share sometime with him. He and I talk for hours that night and agreed in prayer that this feeling would be bound and we prayed that Gods Glory would shine through this tough time. I of course never leaving anything on a serious note said "Well if its a husband, God will have to drop him on my door step" we laughed and I left. We would check in with each other and continued praying. Any way back to Lowe's in 2003, Randys wife who had been unfaithful decided that she would take him out to eat tell him she did not love him and she never did! This came as quite a blow to hime after 30 years of marriage, but things had not been right for some time. Randy would come to me about changes seeing that I handled that kinda stuff. Randy then turned in his notice and left Lowes. One Saturday I was at my apt. and the phone rang, it was Randy. He wanted to know if I wanted to go out and talk, he missed having someome to talk to. So reluctantly I did. He then called to tell me what a nice time he had, we were on the phone for hours. He then preceded to ask me out again.......I told him probably not as I did not feel very well I had a cold..He insisted..I went.....We were at Red Lobster...........he had brought a yellow friendship rose, a card, water, cough drops, tissue, and a can of Chicken Noodle soup! How is that? So to make the long and short of that Chapter......we were engaged April 5th 2003 and married July 19th 2003. Gods hand was in it all....need I be surprised. As my Grandma Lillo always told me "ther is a lid for every pot even if it is a little cracked!"
