Blessed and a Blessing: David Sauls
My name is David Sauls. I’m currently a level 3 resident residing at the House of Mercy with my wife, Candice, and our two beautiful daughters, Kayleigh and Kylee. In the time I have spent here I have learned that my Lord is, and has always, been there for me and my family. Having lived in the flesh in the past and believing lies, I can now replace those lies with the Spirit of truth because I now know my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Now, my thoughts are correct, my emotions are balanced, and my actions are pleasing to God and to the people around me. I am grateful to have been given this opportunity to change my life. I am honored to mention the House of Mercy Enterprise because this HOME has been a blessing for my family and I. The director-Preston Crow, his wife-Trena, house mother-Tammy Becerra, house parent-Philip Wallum, and the other residents have been such a Godsend helping to guide my family and I during this time. “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.” – Colossians 3:15
