We fellowshipped once whilst he was here, and it was beautiful. I was stood next to the man I love in a Spirit filled congregation, and God did not strike me down, nor did anyone speak out against us. I knew we were honouring God, and his Son.

We were giving even more of our lives to Jesus to look after. This was to be shown as Gareth's holiday drew to a close, and he attempted to gain access to his web site at the college. He calmly wrote to the administration of the college network, to get a reply along the lines of they did not want to discuss this, and that he needed to talk to the college human resources people.

When he contacted them, they indicated that they would discuss the issue upon his return. We were shaken, and started to wonder what was going on.

Was this something we had done wrong, or was it a trial for us to see if we would stay together? Was it a case of God stepping back to test our resilience against attack from people who were unable to comprehend love expressed differently from themselves? Gareth returned to the UK, with me in tears, because my heart yearned for his presence with me. I spent time with God, talking to Him, telling Him how I felt. God listened patiently.

When he got to the UK, all the guns were pointing at him. The college suspended pending an investigation into supposed misconduct. I was shocked, horrified, devastated. This though was only minor compared to how he was feeling.

Yet amongst this, God was there, teaching us to trust in Him. God was there in the times that were to follow. He had our lives in hand, and it was to become more and more evident.
