So last July 1st , I took a day-off again from work to go to Tracy, California to do my behind-the-wheel driving test. We went there early, around 9am so I can practice the routes. I have never been to Tracy but I had to take the driving test there since that is the only earliest appointment I can get online.
Anyway, I was a bit nervous before the test, and my husband’s scolding about my driving skill wasn’t helping me at all. I almost backed out when he scolded me. While having a lunch break of sort, he kept reprimanding me about how I drive, how I don’t listen. Well I was crying , I was already thinking of ” let’s just go home then if you think I can’t make it” , but I thought of giving it a try before giving up. I don’t want to give up before even trying it out.
When it was time for the driving test, I reported to one of those windows, somebody checked my papers, and I was instructed to park the car on the driving test waiting area. While waiting for the DMV officer, I kept praying. I told the Lord to stay with me, because I really really need to pass this test. I can do it again but the stress and everything, I don’t really want to go through them again .
When the DMV officer came, I was ready. And when we drove off out of the DMV parking lot, I secretly told myself , ” This is it! Stay with me Lord! ” .
I did some mistakes and I know I did so after 20 minutes when we went back, and she told me to park, I wasn’t expecting for any good outcome. She told me of my mistakes, and what I should do about it and afterwards said, ” Congratulations, you passed! “. I was so incredulous that I shrieked , ” Huh? I passed?? !!! ” . And with tears, (really, I am a “crier” I tell you) , I told her, ” You are so nice, thank you so much for making me pass”. She said that I did a good job handling the car and the road, that I should have more confidence in myself and remember not to make the mistakes again.
So there, I passed my driving test! And there is nobody that I would want to give thanks to first but God since He really lead me out of this. I was expecting the worst already, but God helped me again, as always.
I am glad HE always looks out for me. Thanks Lord, I really, truly appreciate all the love and help You are giving me.
I want to thank the people who taught me, my Ate Ludy, she’s my Kumare and the one who has always encouraged me to learn driving. She was the one who took me to DMV to take the written exam and taught me how to drive for about 5 Saturdays.
I also want to thank my husband for letting me drive to work after we’ve dropped off John to the daycare. It wasn’t everyday but just the same, I thank him for trusting me.
To those of you thinking of taking the driving test too, just have faith in yourself, faith in Him and just try to relax during the test. Be attentive to what the DMV personnel will tell you and I know you will pass the test too, just like me.
