Today was pretty eventful. I had to go to the DMV and get another license, because last night I found out that they were suspended. Last night, I ended up being pulled over for not turning my signal on. I would argue that I was in the lane specifically for left turns and that getting pulled over was pretty, but instead I’ll just put my signal on at every turn from now on. Anyhow, the cop came over and it felt good not to be paranoid or on the defense for once. My license were suspended due to me not turning in my tags. See, when I went to rehab my insurance expired, got cancelled and once the state knows your insurance is cancelled you have to turn in your tags. Since my car is messed up, there was no need to reinstate my insurance anyway. However, they sent a notice in January telling me that I need to resolve the issue or on February 25th my license would be suspended. Well, that’s what happened. I’m so happy I have peace because I would’ve lost my mind over the whole ordeal. Or used the whole ordeal as an excuse to go get lit. Well, I just went ahead and took care of business today and got my license back. It’s a $400 charge so I had to get on a payment plan. Now, I have to go to court on the 20th to show the officer I have my license back so that he’ll drop the $647 ticket he gave me. I’ll trust God. My reaction to the whole thing was what I’m most proud of, and the peace that surpasses all understanding was with me. It’s amazing how putting God first can change your life. I could’ve been in jail because people get arrested every day for driving under suspension. I wonder how many of them are unaware that their license is suspended just like I was. However, God’s grace and mercy is what sustained me. No doubt about it. I didn’t get upset, I didn’t get out of character. Also, my cousin from NY just happened to be down here and I was riding with her. So, she was able to take over the driver’s seat after the cop looked at her license. I still have to pay the rest of that $400 fine. God help me with that. Well, I’m ecstatic and I’m not complaining. It’s in the court of Jesus. Thanks for letting me share.
