Dorinda Clark-Cole

However, she hasn’t always been at such a joyous place in her life.  Dorinda was once a wounded soul who contemplated suicide who now testifies about that very trying time in her life. She remembers, “At that time my mother was not with me to help me get through that rough time.  We were always dependent on our mom because she was always there… I didn’t understand why it was happening to me…It was very devastating.  And it caused me to go into a state of depression…I just couldn’t take it anymore and I got into my car and I began to drive to the river.  I was about to drive my car off the bridge.  And while I was right there…the enemy was speaking to me, so I actually had a war going on…I began to drive and accelerate up to 80 miles per hour.  God spoke to me just as plain as day and said, ‘Dorinda, are you going to let everything that has been invested in you go down the drain?’  And when I heard God’s voice, I began to take my foot off the accelerator and the car started coasting right to the bridge.  And the Lord whispered to me and said, ‘Peace be unto you.’  And that’s when I grabbed the steering wheel and I said, Lord I thank you. Ibegan to weep and cry.  So if it had not been for God keeping me, right then I would have been doomed and consumed.”
