A few month's before we moved to Washington, Chester and I had gotten a ticket, it was a normal misdemeaner ticket, we were supposed to go to court and pay it. Before court we moved out here and missed our court date. Warrants were issued and we went back thinking we would just have to pay a large fine and move on. That was the case for me but not for Chester, because he go into trouble when he was younger they wanted to make his into a felony and give him two years in prison. Needless to say we were a little stressed. So they set up a court date and we went, but they had to continue it for 6 weeks. This happened at least 3 more times, we went back and forth to California, they just kept continuing it for 6 weeks. On our last trip we all had a feeling that that would be it, we figured they couldnt continue it forever and we had been praying non-stop as well as our church was and were prepared for what was to come. We go to court, things don't seem like they are going in our favor and right when we feel like the judge is going to have Chester taken into custody, he looks down at the paperwork and we could see he is thinking and looking at us and all of the sudden he says that the time limit in which they can convict him was surpassed by 3 days and the case was dismissed. This just goes to show you that everything is in Gods timing, he was waiting for us to really submit ourselves to his will, not worry, not try and fix it all, but to give ourselves and out situation over to him and TRUST him. We were so frantic, we had to keep going back, a waste of time and money, why couldnt they just make a decision already. God had a plan, he stretched it out perfectly so that Chester could be free. I've never cried so many tears of joy. We praise him for that miracle still today.
