President Trump, maybe not on a grand scale like you are experiencing, but I know about always having to fight for what is right and I can relate to the fight of the underdog. How can I say that, I have experienced it several times in my very life. Most recent example ...
I was hit from behind a couple of months ago is stopped traffic on a main highway. You were able to see up ahead that there was a traffic accident, and everyone slowed down. Well, I also slowed down, and I thought the SUV behind me was slowing down also until his SUV impacted my non-SUV. The impact was so forceful it caused their air bag to go off on the driver side and their car had to be towed away. I would say that was a pretty hard impact would you agree. They hit me just as traffic started to move again and for that I'm most thankful because the black truck in front of me already moved so there was not another car for my car to be slammed into. This part is kind of funny. Why send out another fire truck when there was one on the berm of the highway for the accident they already came to. The fire truck actually drove in reverse on the berm to then come across the highway in front of me to see if we needed their assistance. We did not. so, they then stopped blocking the highway. I thought that was quite ingenious of them to think like that. Thank you for caring, truly appreciated.
There was a slight hiccup in the repairing of my vehicle may I share with you. For some reason Holy Spirit gives me this fight inside of me and many times I truly do stand up for those that may be in the appearance of being an underdog because I know what that feels like. It is as though the only ones that seems to be cheering you on are Holy Spirit and the cloud of witnesses and maybe a few trusted, close friends and family. It stinks to be quite frank with you but in each situation, God shows up in a mighty way when I take my hands off the situation and let Holy Spirit flow and hand feeds me the very words to speak. He also sets up divine connections to come to your aid and defense too. There is no safer place than being in the arms of Jesus. Sometimes you just want to shout at the top of your lungs and cry out does no one see this injustice and sick the hounds of heaven after them. That is the easy way out when the greater testimony is when Holy Spirit plays it out and the greater glory truly does go to God our Father in heaven! So, my car was sent off for a 2nd opinion and comes back with a part that is cracked or has been teared. The body shop says and tells the adjuster that they have seen this particular part damaged even in a rear collision, but this adjuster begins to spin some tales being told.
Guess what, they were telling me it was not accident related and how the adjuster stated they spoke to people and were trying to pin this on an accident in 2019 when a small compact car hit me in stopped traffic while in a turning lane from behind. There were no air bags that went off and their car did not need to be towed. Are you getting a feel for how hard the impact was on my car. The adjuster tells the body shop they spoke to people about that very accident. Problem is, I did a bit of investigating, yes, I did. I called the prior insurance company that handled that accident, and no one spoke to them, and they sent me the final bill paid along with pictures. I then found out the actual collision place that did the work was bought out by someone else and they no longer had my records on file with the new owners.
It was being questioned the part about a rattle noise I had in the car that increased in volume after the collision. So, when getting the 2nd opinion, they discovered something totally unrelated to the rattle noise which was a more serious in nature damaged part. I was going to pay almost 1300.00 out of my own pocket to get the 3 parts fixed. The body shop was kind enough to verify if the more costly 2 parts actually needed to be replaced before I paid the expense and there was no guarantee the rattle noise would stop. They could find nothing wrong with either of those 2 parts and that saved me 900.00. The other part that was diagnosed and I knew I did not have going into this current accident was only a couple hundred dollars, not big-ticket item but an item that I did not have prior to their client hitting me.
I already knew enough to request this claim be elevated to a supervisor and I spoke with them. I received the phone call stating they were not going to cover the other part and they kept saying they found it was not accident related. In that moment I then requested to please get the body shop person on the phone with us, so it was no longer hearsay or me stating what was being shared with me. The body shop backed the claim that yes, they have seen and have replaced this very part on rear end collision accidents. I did research and had my notes in front of me and I was coming from every direction in that conversation as to why it was related. They wanted me to agree to pay for the body shop to take the car apart and look at that particular part to see if it was damaged at my expense. I put my foot down on that and kept holding my ground. I said to them if there is even a 1/2% chance their client did this and I would be harmed somehow because they were not going to repair this then it was on them, and I am going to be 65 years old and do not want to have to deal with this now. I even told the supervisor at one point that I used to work for the DMV taking people on road tests to get their license and they need to send their client to a school to learn to drive. They said they cannot make a client go to driving school. I understood where they were coming from. I was livid but calm in my voice presentation getting points across. Holy Spirit just kept hand feeding me the very words to speak forth with authority in the tone of my voice. They were not going to smooth talk this woman of God, no way.
All in all, they agreed to pay for the part and my car is finally back with me. There are still things we are working through to close out this claim but no one that was not at fault should have to do all the running around I had to do and phone calls placed because of babysitting someone that didn't do their job thoroughly. You know, if you say you are going to get back with a body shop at the end of the day then do it. You should not leave the body shop up in the air and then after not hearing from you they then call the adjuster the next day at the close of business. I requested to speak with the supervisor of the adjuster because they need to know what was going on. I do not know if that will transpire but I know their first name now. I even spoke I hate to use the word liar but that is what that adjuster did. They were making up things that I followed up with and got the truth facts. I may have used the softer word of deceived.
I imagine Holy Spirit lets me walk through things of this nature to be a living testimony and to encourage you. If He will be my defender for me surely, He will be for you also. Keep ploughing ahead with the work Holy Spirit shows you to do and He makes ways when there seem to be no ways. Do not defend yourself because He will bring along side of you those that have the wisdom and knowledge to guide you through. He really does. I am most thankful that 2 strong women in my family have insurance experience and I were able to walk through what was happening to me, their mother and aunt and they gave me their insight and perspective. Don't tell me God is not raising up mighty women of God in the marketplace because He is.
President Trump, hang in there and put your total trust in God and not man. Yes, He will bring alongside of you those He places there to confound the very words of those that like to think of themselves as wise. He can in a stroke of a moment in time turn this around and make those that think they have the upper right-hand look like they have egg on their face.
The sweet thing in the midst of this. I found, purchased and had delivered this week Knowing Fragrance solid perfume gold compact never been used and an ancillary product, sealed soap with a beautiful dish to store it in. I already tried the solid perfume, and the scent is simply beautiful. The fragrance was so nice it even was in the retail box that housed the solid perfume. I opened up the box to let the scent waft in the atmosphere. I am saving the soap for a special occasion. God surely is up to something, and I simply love it, I really do. It is so lovely to sit on a back porch and share with you all as a gentle breeze passes through now and then.
Next time I will try to write about my coffee adventure at The Fresh Market in Brentwood. I purchased both great decaf and caffeinated flavors to serve my guests.
