Be Small Enough

One of my favorite lyrics goes:

"There are moments when I could not face Goliath on my own, and how could I forget we've marched around our share of Jerichos..."

It always seemed like a simple metaphor to me. We all have our Goliaths that shadow us with their intimidation. And we all have our Jerichos, that we circle and circle trying to find a way in, around or through.

I think we have daily Goliaths and Jerichos. And then we have the BIG ones. The walls that we continually bang our heads against, thinking maybe this is the time our tiny skull will crack the concrete.

But, thankfully, also in our lives we have our Davids. The mild-mannered heroes that slip in, shoot one tiny rock into our seemingly unpassable giant, and the whole thing topples down. And we have our Rahabs that hide us when the danger comes, protecting what we hold most sacred from what we were most afraid of.

Jason: thank you for being my David and my Rahab. For making me feel safe and humbled at the same time. One day I'll be normal. I promise. Hopefully. Still counting on it...:)
