Losing your Identity, Name, Your Home, Friends, Family ,Career, History,Birth Certificate, Passport, Resume, Everything
Could you still be okay with shaky knees....knowing God's got you? It's not easy, when loved ones look at you leaving like you are crazy and a new town of people look at you arriving with nothing like you are crazy. You really do rely on the Lord or you fall into a million pieces. Your Faith is tested to the limit!
For 12 years people have been confused by both my names. Is it Shannon Knight or Jennifer DiConti? I am Both! or SJ! In 2000 I became Shannon Knight to save my life, I was a stalking victim for 2 years (he was dangerous and relentless). I had to be relocated through Victims of Crime in the state of WA for 9 years and returned finally when it was safe. I had to start my life over completely. I depended on God entirely. He was my best friend and I was terrified.
Imagine your previous life erased, resume, social security, Drivers license, diploma, college transcripts, references etc. EVERYTHING. Even rental history. I did not have a car for 2 years because the engine blew up when I got there. It took Baltimore almost 6 months to iron out the wrinkles. I had no furniture and we lived in fear of being found constantly. I had to be strong for my daughter and we had to practice using the new name every day. This experience and surviving cancer during this time, shaped me into the woman I am today and I would not trade anything I went through for what I gained in my life. It is invaluable and I have more Faith than I ever have in our Heavenly Father. I do not take anything for granted. Daily the book is being worked on ♥ I hope it helps many others.
