I hate discrimination!
The Driver's License Bureau actually tried to deny me a license today and throw out my certification of completion in the driving course all because I answered honestly about having a disability and using hand controls to compensate for it... grrr....
Blatant discrimination. I am so tired of it! (Warning, rant ahead)
Today I got my mom to help drive me to the license bureau to get my certificate of completion turned in for an actual driver's license. I was on my own with my two boys there while waiting because my mom had to leave to make it to an appointment she had. Well at first things were

I have my license! :)
Today has definitely been a day of miracles for me and my household. :) I don't have long to write because we're getting ready for an appointment with David's specialist today, but I just had to share this one. :)
First off, I had another driving lesson today which is in part significant because my instructor had recently been cancelling on me a lot. I am disabled, but have been trying to learn how to drive with hand controls so that I could have my license again and I was hoping to have it before winter so my kids and I could still get around to the store and doctors and things like that. Well I had only had a few lessons so far so I was starting to fear that I wouldn't be getting my license any time soon, but when he came out today I was able to show him that my practicing in between lessons has paid off for me. He handed me the certificate of completion for the driving course! :D All I have to do now is secure a ride to the license bureau and I will be an officially licensed driver again. :) I have waited a long time for this day as I haven't had one since the day I started getting sick and ended up disabled and that was over 3 years ago. :) Just goes to show that prayer, faith, and determination/unwillingness to give up truly does pay off in the end. :)
Thank-you so much Father ((hugs)) :)
