Driving update

I'm just updating everyone that the neurologist released me to drive again. :) Happy Days! Thanks to everyone who helped me get to and from work every day. I had some great conversations with many of you and this was a blessing to me! This brief loss of my license was exactly what I needed. I think it was God's way of giving me a reality check about my continual striving for my own independence. I love to think that I don't need anyone and can do everything on my own, but He uses events like this in life to remind me that I really do need others! I am learning the healthy balance between giving and receiving from others and how BOTH are necessary in order to experience relational wholeness. This is a difficult lesson to learn for a lot of folks like myself that have had brain trauma and often have our independence taken from us without warning.
