On Sunday, I was arrested for a DUI in the church parking lot after struggling to stay awake during the service. I had been out late the night before at a birthday party, had two drinks over four hours, took my prescribed medication as usual, and didn’t sleep much. I went to nap briefly in my car before picking up my daughter from kids' church. A police officer woke me up, assumed I was intoxicated, and after a failed field sobriety test—due to exhaustion—I was arrested.
It was deeply embarrassing and traumatic. My car was towed, and my 6-year-old daughter was scared as my family had to come get her. I now face a $750 fee to retrieve my car, no license until my court date on July 3, and overwhelming anxiety about finances and legal consequences.
Please pray for peace, financial provision, and that everything will be okay. I'm struggling to function under the weight of anxiety and fear.
