"When you're safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at home"

..as 2 bullets rang through the night,
i felt as if my heart came out of my throat,
leaving me breathless, like if i was hit on
my back with a bat making me gasp for air...
i had never heard shots so near my house
before...just makes me think how i took safety
in my house for granted...3 minutes later the
baseball park, 1 minute away from my house,
was surrounded by cops...fear ran through
me thinking of what had happened. That
night i barely could sleep thinking on if the
shots were that close who knows how closer
they could get. Home is somewhere were you
feel safe, nothing touches you there, behind
4 walls and a roof over your head, no one, that
you do not know, can get inside. Its scary to think
that shootings like the one that happened near
my home are happening every day all over the
world and many innocent people are killed. Just
takes a second in which your life could change.
What if i was one of the young guys who got shot?
i am certainly lucky that i am safe, and that Jesus
lives in me, because i know God protects me
wherever i go and he does not wish pain or sadness
for us. He truly is amazing, satisfying my life
daily.
"..He won't let you stumble,
your guardian God wont fall asleep.
Not on your life! Israel's
guardian will never dose or sleep.
God's your guardian
right at your side to protect you-
shielding you from sunstroke,
sheltering you from moonstroke .
God guards you from every evil,
he guards your life.
he guards you when you leave and
when you return,
he guards you now, he guards you
always."

Psalm 121:3-8
