It was a weight lifted off me that had oppressed me for several years and inhibited my walk with God.

I'm not sure I would say being a mother was the most fulfilling thing. In a lot of ways, I have missed out on things with my children due to being a single parent. I would have loved to have done more with them, but I get to do that with my younger children still at home now that I'm married.

I have accomplished my dream of completing the schooling and licensing for my career and have worked as such for many years now. Doing that while being a single mother probably ranks up there with being a mother alone.
Beautiful ending that only God can bring!! Thanks for sharing your story, Sasha!

And only God could have done it. I'm sure without a doubt that without Him, I would have been where Mom predicted...in prison.

I haven't spent time in prison, but I did spend a night in jail.

I remember you mentioning that a time or two. LOL!

I've been arrested a few times, but always bonded out before they made me shower and 'examine' me. Besides, it was only for suspended license, and once I didn't pay my lawyer in the timely fashion he was expecting. LOL!

And I was in for.....I ain't talkin'..... I remember I was wearing black velvet and the guys in the hold were whistling and asking if I wanted a cigarette. I'm thinking, "Do you even have teeth?" Then I get locked up with a drunk biker girl.

Yes, He has been good to me. Although on this particular incident, they would have let me go, except that the only address I could give them was the hotel I was staying in, looking suspicious. I hadn't set up a permanent residency in the city as yet.
