My Fight With A Giant
I remember saying bye to my three older brothers, not knowing that through fate or God, I would soon be seeing them in the near future. They left so I went back out and watched over my father's sheep. One day my dad called me to the house and wanted me to take out some food to my brothers in war. I thought that this was going to be such an adventure! I packed what I needed as fast as I could and was on my way in no time. When I got there I didn't know where my brothers were, so I asked around and finally found them. Just at that moment, This huge man walked out of the enemies camp and started to talk trash on everyone, including my God, and I was not about to just stand around there and take it, I had to do something. Someone leaned over and told me that the king would give great riches to the one who kills this man. Now, my brother was very mad that I was even talking to the man. Someone heard what I had said about wanting to kill the giant, and they told the king. So the king called for me and so I went to talk to him. Saul said to me "Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man and he has been a warrior from his youth." and I answered Saul saying, "Your servant has been keeping his fathers sheep. When a lion or a bear came for a sheep I went after it, and struck it and killed it." I told him that this was because of what the Lord has done for me and that this giant would be no different. So Saul said, "go and may the Lord be with you." He tried to put his "Royal" armor on me, but it was way too big and heavy for me. so I took it off and just went in what I was wearing. My Heart was beating super fast at first... But I looked up towards God and said a small prayer. as soon as I was done praying, my hearts went to normal, I was no longer scared. I approached the giant, he was yelling at me and calling me names. I walked over to the stream and got perfect stones. I put one in my sling and started to swing it around and around. I waited for the perfect time, he moved his helmet and boom! I hit him dead center in the middle of his head. He fell on the ground and everything was quiet for a bit, and then all of a sudden the yelling began. Everyone was running around and everyone was wild. As all of this was happening, I took the giants sword and chopped his head off.
