Every so often, I find myself surrounded by a message. Usually it’s tied to some sort of scripture verse or faith practice. I tend to ignore it until it’s so loud that I can’t do anything else. Currently, that message is coming loud and clear as the Biblical story of David.
It started several months ago when I went to see the awesome animated version done by Angel Studios. I loved the movie and the music. Then I got an email advertising the bracelet David’s mother gave him in the movie and a great sticker. I ordered both and have the sticker on my laptop and the bracelet on my wrist.
The next “sign” was hearing the story read on my Bible in a Year podcast by Ascension press. I am loving this mission and hope to finish the Bible in a Year! I am currently at the end of the story of David. But, this wasn’t the first time I tried to learn from David. Years ago, a good friend gave me the book David Vs. Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell. It’s a great leadership read. Then this image (see below) showed up on my feed.
So, I guess you can say it’s time to put some knowledge to work. David was never the strongest, smartest, or best, he just figured things out. He made mistakes, BIG ones. He cared for others most of the time and with the exception of these BIG mistakes, he was a decent guy who seemed to have lost his way at times. His faith and willingness to ask God for help is what inspires me to do the same.
I feel like I have some Goliaths in front of me right now. My health is obviously the biggest one, no sling shot is going to take that away, but hopefully I can chip away at it. Second is my budget. I really need to find more income streams. I believe it will come from my ability to tutor, but I need to flush out what that is going to look like. Any thoughts?
My faith continues to be strong and I know I will come out as the victor in all of these battles. What/who is calling you?
