What is your favorite part of the book? Chapter 12 Good Morning Giant Slayer
(Excerpt from the book) “He did it again, I saw Him look toward his Father. Why is that? I thought. Dare I ask? I mean, this is the giant slayer. I saw a glow come over him as he began to speak. I could see what God had seen in him as a boy when Samuel was sent to his father’s house to look for the anointed one. He was kind and gentle, but stood firm with the boldness God had spoken of. “I look to my Father for everything,” he said, “because I am not capable without Him. I learned this in the places of desperation; the cave, when I lost my best friend, and when I slept with a married woman. I cried out for Him, and He always came through. I look at Him out of gratitude and appreciation. But most of all, I know that when I look away too long, I get into trouble.”
My husband and I were in Colorado visiting good friends, when God birthed this vision. I remember sitting at their dinner table reading portions to my husband and friends, as tears poured down my cheeks. Laurie, my friend, read the rough draft of Sweet Dreams, to which she stated she now knew why it had been so hard on me. The intensity of walking down the hall seeing the mangled faces of those that I had hurt was gut- wrenching. But I never felt condemnation from God. However, I did feel responsibility.
