When God throws you a rope.....

There is that old joke.....

I think it goes something like this....

THERE WAS A GREAT FLOOD AND BOUDREAUX

FOUND HIMSELF ON HIS ROOF, SURROUNDED

BY WATER, NO LAND IN SIGHT.

HE HEARS A HELICOPTER IN THE SKY 

AND RESCUE HELP ASKS IF HE NEEDS HELP

"NO, IT'S OK, GOD IS GOING TO SAVE ME"

NEXT BOUDREAUX HEARS A BOAT,

STILL NO LAND IN SIGHT.

"GET IN, WE ARE HERE TO RESCUE YOU"

BOUDREAUX REFUSES,

"GOD WILL SAVE ME"

FINALLY BOUDREAUX SUCCUMBS TO THE RAPIDS

AND DROWNS. AS HE MEETS WITH GOD

HE IS DISTRAUGHT,

"GOD I SO BELIEVED IN YOU, BELIEVED YOU WOULD 

SAVE ME AND HERE I AM AT THE PEARLY GATES.

GOD, IN ALL HIS WISDOM ANSWERS,

"BOUDREAUX I SENT A BOAT AND A HELICOPTER,

WHAT MORE DID YOU WANT?"

Yeah something like that.

This has been a difficult few days for me.

Randy and I have decided it is time for us to go our separate ways.

I had been struggling with decisions about this.

My health had not been the greatest,

his health at a dangerous place,

I was confused as to where to go with the relationship

and feeling quilty as even though I was helping him as much 

as I could but worrying about my business, family.

I had been praying for help, "God let me know what I 

should be doing here" As we all do, I was worried what

other people would think if I took a break from the

relationship when he needed the help the most.

I won't go into detail as to what went down, that is

not important or the reason for the post.

I will just say, I prayed, and the answer was thrown in my lap.

To not listen to that sign would be like 

being Boudreaux and ignoring what is right there in plain view.

It has been a hard few days for the both of us.

Then this morning a dear friend of ours posts these two 

quotes and I am in awe, I know this is right for the both of us,

as hard as it is....

Wow! things I needed to be reminded of this AM as

I forge ahead. Please keep Randy and his health 

in your prayers.

It is hard to break up yet, I still care about how this all

turns out for him.

We will find friendship after we work out the details.

Thanks for reading.
