I need nothing from you!

I went today and did something I never in a million years thought I would be able to do. I went into a court house and signed a piece of paper that releases Dan from paying child support. When Dan and I got divorced, I was making ALOT less than Dan was... He was paying then $400.00 a month. Then he took me to court to get that lowered shortly after I got married. And then he was ordered to pay $141.60. I thought this was unfair and I let him know it. He made $7.50 an hour more than I did. I begged and pleaded, for him not to do this b/c I would not be able to make it. His answer to me was "you should have thought about that, and went to college or had a skill so you could make more money". Yeah what a dream guy huh... now ladies let me hold you back b/c he is "happily" married.

But now I make less than $1 an hour than he does. Still with no degree, with no "skill" to speak of.... except for this... I work at the same place that I have for 6 years and with my hard work and devotion to my work. I have been recognized for the skill and talent I have for my craft of editting and quality assurance. I have received a promotion for all of this hard work. I now manage my own platform and I am single-handedly reforming a platform to have specifications to their manuals for consistancy. None fo which would be possible with the one thing..... My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am all that I am b/c of Him and Him alone. And today I became liberated by being able to sign a paper that says for the first time in my life I need no ones monetary support!! I would also like to say that without the loving support of my most wonderful husband I would not be able to do this either!
