Again I say, 'Aslan is on the move.'

~our hero

Turns out former Indian boyfriend has a bit of a cruel streak.  And while I appreciate that hurt can make us respond in unusual ways, he really has behaved in an unacceptable way, no details needed.  Gary sent him a final text, "Matt, you have no reason for any further contact with Anna.  It stops right now."  The least one read it and said simply with a sweet smile, "I love Dad."  The girls need to feel protected by their father, and he's always done that.  I won't tell you the details of what Gary said in private, but it was something about kicking him to the curb..... :)

In all honesty, I'm ever thankful that I married a man with an intimidating personality.  Comes in handy when a boyfriend acts too big for his britches.  He does not want to tangle with Gary anymore.  And we're all so incredibly thankful for the Lord for interrupting this relationship before it went any farther.  Matt was on the verge of proposing.  Well, a cold feet version.  The girl can wear the ring for years, you know.

Looking forward for the special young man He has picked out for her, as yet unknown to us.  I reminded her today that there's a man out there who's praying for her.  She was already in tears because certain things set her off.  Tender spirit.  

And the wedding rings Gary was offered by his mom (rings of his grandmother's) which were refused by Matt---well, his mom is sending them on anyway for Anna's future husband to give to her.  Win all the way around.

God's hand was on this whole mess.  You'd be amazed if I told you the details.  Suffice it to say that God's will WILL be done no matter.  Praise His name.
