Dear Bimbylads,
I would like to share my testimony with you and everyone else who needs to witness the loving kindness of our mighty Father.

Sometime in early December, I received a letter from my states's Department of Motor Vehicles stating that my license was suspended for 180 days for driving while my license was suspended. I was asked to hand my license. My initial reaction was to cry and jump on the phone to call my mom. She tried calming me down but to no avail. I couldn't believe my license was being suspended and I really did nothing wrong. let me rewind a bit for the sake of clarity.

In July of the same year, before I recieved the letter ,my sister who lives with my mom in another state called me at work to inform me that I had received a letter from Motor Vehicles saying that my license was suspended for failure to pay a parking ticket. My mom moved to a different state last year and my mail was forwarded to her new address because at the time we were moving and I did not have a firm address.

I went ahead and paid the $100 restoration fee all online. I was told I would be receiving a letter in the mail in regards to my driving privileges being restored. I had for some reason assumed the letter was sent and everything was alright. Boy was I wrong.

In September, my sister and some of her friends came to visit me and attend a family friend's graduation party, since my sister is under 25 renting a car in her name would be either very difficult or very expensive. My boyfriend, who also lives in MD decided to help my sister rent the car in his name. On the day of the graduation party my sister and her friends were in one car and I was in another car with my cousins. While driving on the highway, someone struck my sister and ran off causing slight damage to the rental car.

I was driving about five minutes behind my sister and I instructed her to find somewhere safe to park and call the police. Upon my arrival I saw that the front right side of the bumper was a bit damaged. My sister was afraid because she was under 25 and the terms of the rental was that someone 25 and older would be handling the vehicle, so in order to avoid any difficulties with the rental company I decided to step in and tell the officers that I was the one driving.

So now, let's fast forward to December. The letter stated that since I was driving with a suspended license in September they were going to suspend my license for another 6 months. At one point I stopped crying and asked myself what crying would do for me...will my crying automatically reinstate my license...??! NO...so I handed it all to God. I said, 'my God will take control' and from that moment I just started singing praises to God.

I work in NY so the next day during my commute on the train a voice said to sing praises until my Lord and Saviour for He will surely see me through. I refused to think about how not having my license would affect my work, and getting around. I live alone and there is no one nearby for me to rely on to take me from point A to B, but I didn't think about that I didn't care.
That very day my boyfriend called the Department of Motor Vehicles and was on hold for almost 35 minutes until he finally got someone to listen to my case and sympathize with me the person told us to go and request a hearing. This was Wednesday 12/5.

On Thursday he came down so that we could go early Friday morning to request a hearing. That Thursday I fasted until the Lord to have the outcome work in my favor. That Friday morning on the way to the DMV we prayed and prayed. I asked God to surprise me that morning and He surely did. To the glory of His name we were only there for 10 minutes. They realized that they had made a mistake for not having reinstated my license from July, and my licensewas back on good standing as from the 5th of December. That was the same day we spoke to someone on the phone. Everything was already taken care of...God truly surprised me. On a regular day one can be there for up to 4 hrs but we were there for only 10 minutes and it was them who said they had made a mistake. I didn't have to pay 1 cent....
I prayed for divine favour and God granted it to me...I prayed the people would go out of their way to help me and it came to pass. It is my prayer that in 2008 we shall all have divine favour and expect the extraordinary in our lives. I give Great Glory to His Holy Name. Amen
