It is easy to pinpoint the date of a couple of momentous events because of the birthdays at that time. I sent the girl's father a birthday card which we all signed, and when he read it he had a strange experience.  He told me later that he heard God tell him he had to give up me and the girls. I had no knowledge of this at the time, but that very day I experienced a tangible lifting of weight from my shoulders, and I no longer felt that my husband was in any way my responsibility. It was incredibly real.  It was the final day of the 40 days of prayer.

Not long later I wrote in my prayer journal, "God said the marriage is over."  Exactly a year later, to the very day, I was granted a divorce. I had no control over this date - it was God's hand  again.  The story of the day of the divorce is worth telling, but not here. I'll save it for another time.

I want to move on, now, to a happier subject.
