I was in the seventh grade and quickly became a confused and angry adolescent. I continued to pray that my father would arrive to interrupt the wedding ceremony, but he didn’t. I then concluded that God hadn’t listened to my most desperate of prayers.#3 I was a smart, accomplished, and self-confident fifteen-year old girl when I met my husband, George.
