Saturday night–Home alone.

Sunday morning–I lay in bed. Discouraged. Then this thought, “I’m ready to quit. Why go to church? Why get out of bed? My 2 year journey continues in loneliness…yielding little impact.”

I reached to the nightstand. Opened my iPad. A new message from a previously unknown Mormon friend. He’d thoughtfully sent a link to the song below. How did he know I needed it now?

These lyrics highlighted by him:

Oh what I would do to have

The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant

With just a sling and a stone

Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors

Shaking in their armor

Wishing they’d have had the strength to stand

Today–May I, and all, have the courage to step out of our boat of comfort to press the battle God has placed in our path.

Thank you, my new friend.
