I love a good story. The problem is that I am fainthearted and easily discouraged, so about half way through any tale, I have to resist the urge to stop reading. Every epic adventure is full of conflict and obstacles. I don’t like the dark and foreboding strands of the
“But the Lord is faithful…” – 2 Thessalonians 3:3 We were nearly 2,000 miles from home, following through with our commitment to purposely find adventure in our early years of marriage.

I love David. He’s honestly one of my favorites. Reading about his poor choices, his less than admirable decisions, and his selfishness… not one of my favorite topics for this David-loving girl. I like seeing him depending on God. I like seeing him being humble and trusting in God when
