It's been a long time since I posted one of these, but here's the next one for you; it's four drabbles long and centered around David's storyline. FYI, in chronological order, instead of by the verses, the chapters would go chapters 3,2,1,4. Enjoy!:)
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. ~ Joshua 1:7 – 9 (KJV)
David wasn't sure why the thought of marriage wouldn't leave him alone. It hadn't for the past few months, and eventually he'd decided to do something about it. Yet he had never felt so nervous as he was when he parked his truck at the French restaurant.
Considering everything that he and Amanda had been through in the past – everything he'd not been there for and put her through – he felt there might still be a good chance of her turning him down, despite the fact that they'd been dating for a year since reconnecting over two years earlier. So he was shaking with his nervousness – horribly so.
However, this still felt right; it still felt like something God was telling him it was time to do.
It'll just take a little courage, David reminded himself, muttering a prayer and checking that the ring box was still in his suit pocket before he climbed from his truck and headed resolutely into the restaurant.
