One of My Happiest Days!!

12/22/2014  Today is one of the happiest days of my life!!  Three years ago I was at a bad place in my life, and I was hurting so bad I started drinking heavily.  One night, at three in the morning, I left the bar in my new car, a Lincoln MKX.  I was so proud of that car, and in the back I was carrying the first painting I ever sold.  Well, to make a long story short, I was stopped and tested for alcohol, in which I tested positive.  Thus began a 3 year journey to see how God would lead me through my discouragement, out of AZ, and back to Montana.  Three people prophesied that I would not go to jail in this matter, and it happened exactly that way.  I knew, however, that it had to be God who would do it, and that I could not do it on my own.  I could only wait, and trust God, that what he told me would come to pass.  Waiting is the hardest part of any promise, but it can also be the greatest part: the expectation, the eagerness, the anticipation.  Today was the fulfillment of that promise God made to me when I was in that dark place.  Today, I walk to the courthouse to speak with Judge Perry Miller, thinking he would help me in some way to resolve this issue, so that I might have a chance to drive again in this lifetime.  When he called down to Phoenix for me, they told him that the issue was resolved, that there was no longer a warrant for my arrest, and that I could now move forward towards getting my driver's license.  In fact, they said it was done "Today", the very day I went to the courthouse.  As I sat down with the judge, the Spirit whispered into my ear, "You are not going to Jail."  I just am soooooo amazed!!!!  How many conversations have we had about this, LORD?  LORD, You are merciful and kind.  You lift up those who are bowed low.  You encourage the disheartened.  You keep your promises.  You are the breaker of the chains.  You set the captives free!!
