Only One Choice

We’ve had unexpected upheaval this week and yet we knew…there was only one choice to make…one road to follow.

For the last few months, My Loving Spouse has been selling used trucks.  It is a great fit for him, because he gets to talk to people (one of his strengths) about things with engines (one of his loves)…and we were hopeful that with this combination, we would be able to do things like finish restoring the house, feed the herd…feed us, who knew perhaps we’d even buy more cows.  He liked it. When in sales, if your heart is one of service to your client, you will be good at what you do and happy.

Little things started to not ‘add up’.   Attitudes where he worked…were not quite right…and most of the folks he worked with were not too happy.  Our antennas were raised.  Two nights ago it was clear…they were not honest.  They were unethical.  We did not sleep well, but we knew without any discussion that he would leave…right away.  One cannot sell ‘anything’ if you loose your integrity in the process…and it felt like being on the edge of a cliff and knowing that the only choice was to jump…and so he/we jumped…because we believe that being honest is not optional.

Do we know what the road ahead looks like…nope.

If you know the hymn ‘My Hope is Built on Nothing Less’…it has been going through my mind…a lot.

…and like the bulbs coming up in the garden…we have spring…a sign of hope.
