INTRODUCTION

Problems in personality clashes, employment, careers, and housing threaten the early years of marriage with Destiny and Trampas. The young bride cannot tolerate the volatile circumstances much longer.

Chapter One

LEGAL PROBLEMS

After four years of marriage to Trampas, Destiny thinks of her life as being divided into two segments: pre-typing and post-typing. Other than salvation, typing was the most important steppingstone of her life. While she spent a couple of months with her mother during a personal crisis, she found a course in a popular magazine for learning to type.

Destiny’s mother said that she would like to have a copy of the tape of Destiny’s testimony and that she should have been a preacher. Looking back on that conversation, Destiny considers it as being prophetic. 

During a fast-falling snowstorm, Destiny almost fell asleep at the wheel. God jerked her awake. A neighbor came to plow out X’s driveway because God wanted her to go to church, a dental appointment, and the library. The Lord is merciful, she thought. 

Destiny experienced her first prophetic dream in which she went to a psychiatrist who released her after the first visit and hugged her. That dream came true in later years. Later, she dreamed that she would be honored about her writing.   

Another prophetic dream, in which her brother told her that he was getting married, came true. A while afterward, Destiny dreamed that Dr. Kildare came to see her. That could mean Dr. Jesus or a Hollywood celebrity. 

A crisis mounted about a cloud hanging over the
