And They Came as an Army

I embark on one of the most interesting and scariest trips in my life. I was still so new at this that I wished that someone else would take this task on for me.
Rachel and I head off to a territory, brand new to the two of us. She is more than excited, being a young teenager. I am not willing to go so eagerly, but in the end, I find that I must tackle this fear like David against Goliath.
Another deep breath, "Okay, Lord, this is it. Again I pray for one of your guardian angels to watch over us as we do this trip." A bead of sweat rolls off my forehead and down my cheek.
We were on our way. No turning back. The trip that we were getting ready to embark upon would forever change our lives. We didn't realize it at the time.
