During the summer of 1960 I faced three difficult situations, all arising in the same month. My position with a national corporation was one which was subject to relocation from time to time. I was asked at this time to relocate, and I became disturbed, for it would have been difficult for me to move then. I prayed about this, and it became evident that I should not relocate. Therefore I was requested to resign.
Later, my home, which had been discordant, was broken, and the distress of my wife's leaving me was something I thought I would never work out of; but after much prayerful work, I concluded it was best to dissolve my marriage. My beloved father passed away several days afterward.
I can honestly say that even though I seemed down in the depths, I never wanted to give up, for I constantly reminded myself that God loved me and always would love me and that I loved God supremely.
