I love this song because it reminds me of how God has worked in my life over the last two years and how for the first time in my life, I am in a relationship with a man who loves me and accepts me for who I am. I will never be able to thank God enough for that.
After I came back from Christmas in Wisconsin, I had a strong feeling that things would move quickly with this old friend. I also had a hunch that he was everything I had been praying for. We had been e-mailing volumes to each other to catch up on the last 4 years since he first contacted me a week earlier. Internet connectivity was sparse at my parents' home and with every e-mail I received from him, I got really, really excited. He shared stories of growing up, music, trips, goals and ideals - all of which really resonated with me. He wrote things that were funny - and so did I - and I realized that we "got" each others humor. It was such a special time for us. I've never before been so excited. I thought that for sure he would be engaged to someone within a year and I was going to do everything in my power to be sure that it was me. :)
The day I flew back, I went early to an evening Mass. When I arrived no one was there and the lights were out. The door was open, however, so I walked in and knelt in front of the tabernacle. I felt called to pray many prayers of thanksgiving. God had been listening to me all that time after all. And, He decided provide a partner perfectly fit for me. Many don't seem to experience that privilege. I am so grateful. Praise God!
