Good day (and I have chosen to make it a good day!)
Well 8:01, I hear the doorbell ring. No it was not Avon calling but the civil processor coming by to serve me officially.
I open the door very graciously and said I guess these are the divorce papers? The civil processor (Joe) says I apologize that I am the one that has to deliver these to you. Days like this I do not like my job.
Guess my voicemail to him saying that "I liked your bible passage Phil 4:13 on your business card"; which when I looked it up said I can do everything through Him who gives me strength but my own personal one at this time is Malachi 2:16 - God hates divorce".
We had a nice chat actually under the circumstances. I told Joe my husband has been cheating on me and he is the one that wants the divorce after 21 years of marriage. Joe said this will only worsen his problems, I see this all the time. Then he says I looked up the court that is assigned your case and the judge there looks down on adulterers if that helps you at all~ Ole Joe took the time to see who was handling this even with me hiding out and making him stop at my house 3x. I wished him a good day and he left and I swear he looked like he was ready to cry. Very surreal.
Now the reality is I have 20 days to respond (actually 22 since the 20th day falls on a Saturday - I was aware of that also) which gives me till March 2 for first snail attack.
Kat727 and all of my DB friend thanks for all of your support on this board. I actually feel good that I accepted these papers when I chose not when H thought he was going to ambush me.
One step at a time with God's good grace.
