This morning, I was reading in the one year bible that Debbie Bryson gave us at the Women's retreat, and I read in 1 Samuel about David and Goliath. When I saw the title of the scripture, I figured God was going to speak to me about the giants I have in my life, and conquering them through His strength. That's usually what I get from that story, but today he spoke to me something different. While I was reading the verses about Saul and David's interaction about David being able enough to kill Goliath, David spoke about killing the bears and lions. Usually, I look right past that, but God showed me that He is my David. I'm his sheep. When I'm under attack, He comes and rescues me. He doesn't want me to be struck down and killed. He was wants to save me from the things I can't save myself from. It offered a lot of healing for me today, and I had the chance to share it with Megan and pray about it with her.

Moral of the story: Trials come, but when we call out to God, he saves us from the "bears" and "lions" in our life that are seeking to destroy us.

As we were leaving for work this morning, Megan and I found out we'd be working together at Helyi's house, but we weren't sure what we'd be doing. We got there, and thought we might be babysitting, but instead, we sat down and ate a meal with her and a couple other ladies from the church (Sylvia and Alejandra) and then made book marks that have the promises of God written on them. It was such a refreshing morning, and I'm so glad that I've had the opportunity to get to know these women, as much as I can with the language barrier. I'm so excited to be able to learn from these women, and spend more time with them.

God is so good.
Please continue to pray for me and my team, along with the children we are ministering to.
