On February 14th of 2010, I married myself to God. I was at the lowest of lows in my life – I truly believed if I had not have done that I would have died. I was on my knees that following November. My neighbor had side-swiped my car as I waited for a very windy white-out to disperse and as I inched forward my car gently rolled into a ditch. He came along, stopped, and clipped my open door as he left. My emergency signals did not work so I improvised by keeping my driver's side door open and flashing my high and low beams alternately. That following March/April the DMV put me on a three-year probation even though the ‘no fault’ happening due to weather conditions was declared in the report by the Humboldt County Sheriff. When my neighbor omitted this in the report it held up to my unfinished report because my fingers were frozen numb and I was unable to even hold a pen. So three years I am able to do and took the probation without a word. After the three years were over I was unable to reinstate my license to have the restriction code 7 off my record. My yearly Confidential Physicians Report was always in compliance. Whenever I went to the DMV or called them or sent them what I was told to send them was a slap in the face. Road- blocks no matter what I did. The misinformation they gave me to reinstate myself was sad and confusing. Prayer in church took over. Until I gave up. Then in May of 2019, I had to renew my driver’s license and like always I mentioned to the gal my predicament. Mandy said do you want me to look it up for you? I said to her no. She kept on insisting and I kept telling her no. She kept insisting so I told her to go ahead. I had given up. I was beaten down and felt forgotten by God. She said that the year stated on the computer was 2015, not 2011. I said they are not telling the truth. So she wrote down what she wanted me to ask from my doctor when the report came due in September. Mandy also wanted me to get my passport so I would have my real I.D. I never talked to anyone after this. I was not believing in God much feeling He had turned His Back on me – and in the same breath whenever I thought negatively I said a prayer and gave it to God. It all worked out and went very smoothly on Thursday, October 3rd, 2019. God had not forsaken me even though my faith wavered. God did not leave me alone. My God is Faithful. I kept my tissue to remind me of that day of liberation 😊 😊 😊
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."
