120 ~ I Wasn't Expecting This

By Kay Heitsch

I have experienced some unexpected events in my life, but I was not expecting to hear what Bill had decided to do next for a job.

I don't know how long he had been thinking about this new adventure, but I was only told about it on a Thursday, and he was gone by Monday. Bill had decided he wanted to try over-the-road truck driving.

When Bill told me, I was shocked! For most of our married life, Bill left for work in a suit and tie or a sports coat and tie. I remember saying, "You don't even know how to drive a truck!" He said he knew that, so that's why he was going to go to truck driving school.

Over that weekend, we shopped for all the things he thought he would need for this new job adventure. He said he would be training in another state. I was still on tilt as he packed up. I didn't know what to think.

Monday came, and I drove Bill over to meet his new trainer. I was feeling emotional about this, but the Lord knew this was coming.

It wasn't long after I got home when Dom, a good friend of Todd's and now mine, came for a visit before he headed up north for hunting.

I needed a friend, and the good Lord knew it!

Remember how I led you on this long journey. Deuteronomy 8:2
