The Day of Me Facing a Giant in My Life

By Daniel Valle

My story begins like a good enjoyable story, it starts at the camp of Wisconsin and it was my first time in one of these camps so my club and I were at the David show and it was time for the pastor to come up. Looking at him in my mind I already knew that this guy was going to say the best thing ever I had heard in one of these camps.

So we sat down looking at the screen and me and my Dad we were ready when I heard the words come out of that pastors mouth they were like “There is always going to be a giant in your life it maybe it will be now or it may come another day but all you have to know is that there is a giant coming in your life”.

That was a super good speech right there so I was thinking what was the giant in my life I really wanted to fight this giant just like David. So I waited and waited and waited even more so the day has come its was on a Wednesday I got a text from my best friend saying that he broke his leg that news made me mad and sad at the same time he didn’t tell me for 3 days.

So the giant had come and I was in my tent crying, trying to know what to do and how to make him better and all of this fell on me but I really wasn’t looking in the right place. That was not the giant, the giant was how I felt. The giant was not my friends leg getting broken, it was the feeling that I had in my body and the spirit of the Lord was not talking but showing me that the giant had come and I knew I had to do something.

The best thing that I had in mind was to tell my leader and he said “come pray with me and God will help your friend in time”.

So that’s my story of the Giant that I faced in my life.
