I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out. And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea. And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season. ~ Joshua 24: 5 – 7 (KJV)
It was amazing, David decided, what God could do with a life – how far He could remove someone from what they had once been. This first meeting with Amanda – and how well it had ultimately gone – was a perfect example of that for David.
Over the past hours, while he'd been talking to her and explaining his recently-begun relationship with Christ, he had been pleasantly surprised to learn that she had become a Christian herself three years ago. After hearing about his newfound belief, Amanda had been much more receptive towards what he had to say – and just how much he wanted to get to know Olivia. They had even gone so far as to set up a day for him to get to meet her.
So David had never been so happy as he was as he walked out of the coffee shop.
He had spent years walking around without any sort of convictions, living a life of confusion and guilt, unsure why he even existed, but it was beginning to look like he was finally getting it together and working towards the life God wanted him to lead. With God's help and mercy, he was finally being brought out of his wanderings.
