At the time of my seperation from my first wife, I was living in an apartment complex on the lower level. I was woken up one evening to a man and woman arguing outside my window. I looked and he was using her as a foot ball across the court yard. I yelled out a few choice words and proceeded to go out side but it was already being handled by the security guards. I noticed few people watching and started to talk to this one lady who later became my close friend and who I now call my sister.

To shorten the story a bit, her and her room mate were devoud christians and her room mate was a good looking gal too. I talked with them for weeks and later began to date the room mate. Her name was Danelle and we had some fun for a bit until she felt her religious beliefs and mine were on a different page. At the time I was not interested in hearing about God or anything having to do with him. Danelle and I broke up and decided it was for the best. Well, this was also around easter time and and I was already invited to go to an easter play held at church. The play was about the crucificion and resurection of Christ. Well, I felt it was necessary to go so I went. Needless to say it was very touching. Danelle and Annamarie (the room mate) were sitting next to me and toward the end when they had an alter call, there was a 30 something man up there giving his life to christ and it was me. During this Danelle was holding my hand leading me through this so we took it as Christ bringing us together. Shortly after that we started dating again.

Months went by and we later got engaged. We started to plan everything but as things got closer to a date, it got more and more uneasy. We thought it was the forces of evil so to speak trying to break us up. We tried everything, especially after postponing the date twice. Everything though kept drawing us farther apart. We were at a loss.

Well, one day she asked me to go to choir pratcie and she was going to be bring a new co-worker to church and if I could show her around. I agreeded and sat in the pews waiting for her to bring this person so I can show her around. I heard them walking down the isle and when I looked up, I was absolutley blown away. And it wasnt from what or who I saw but it was from what I heard. I will get back to what I heard in a bit. Danelle introduced me to April, her new co-worker that just moved back into town and was a new Christian and looking for a good church. During the hour and a half, April and I sat and talked about everything and anything. It was so easy to talk to her and felt so comfortable, I was scared out of my head.

Months went by and April and I drew close. So close in out friend ship that things started to draw father and farther away with Danelle and I. One of the hour long conversations April and I were having one night I told her; "we need to stop talking and seeing each other" because it just wasnt right. I told her that I need to pray about all this and especially after I had heard what I did when I meet her. She said she heard something too and wasnt sure about it eaither. I asked her to repeat what it was she heard and when she did I fell to the floor and started balling my eyes out. It was the exact same thing I had heard when I meat her and that was: "This is the one I have been working on for you" She couldnt believe it either. It was then that we knew it was Gods ahnd that was in all of it and how could we deny it. At the time when she had been saved in a church in Colorado Springs, months had past and she was forced to move back to Pueblo. She doesnt know why but this confurmed it.

I told April we need to stop talking and seeing each other until everything is over with Danelle and me. We waited for about two months and I finally called April and she knew I was going to call cause she was walking right next to it when it rang. We started dating again and 2 moths later were getting married. Its been 14 yrs now and she is my best friend. Yes, we have had our ups and downs but like the scriptures say: " What God has brung together let no man tear apart"

Absolutely the BEST story ever...
