I just wanted to share this story with the list.
As some know from my last post my wife has filed for divorce. I cannot
tell you all how much your prayers meant to me.
To seek a temporary solution for a place to live I purchased a travel
trailer. It took almost all the money I had to buy it. Yesterday I went
to pick it up with my friend and neighbor from the past 12 years. We
pulled the trailer 100 miles with no problems at all until nearly home.
The trailer suddenly started fishtailing and jerking the truck all over
3 lanes of highway. We crashed into one side of a bridge then the other
then the whole truck and trailer spun around and was facing traffic on
the highway. The fact the 32ft. trailer never turned over and went over
the side of the bridge was a miracle.The fact we never hit another
vehicle was another. The truck and trailer both look like a piece of
crumpled foil. My neighbor and I walked out without so much as a
bruise. I didn't know who else to call so I called my wife. She came
and got us and agreed to let me have the truck taken to our house and I
had the trailer pulled to a lot. The wrecker bill was $1100. I was at
my house ( or used to be) then went to check on my neighbor. The dust
had just settled from all the commotion when a pastor and some people
from a church showed up at Jim's house. He had visited a church the
previous Sunday. What better luck than to have a pastor show up at that
moment. He prayed with us both and I walked off feeling grateful at a
moment when it would have been easy to wallow in self pity. I don't
know what is in store for me but I do know the Lord will be there to
hold my hand.
In Christ,
Kelly Wayne
