scary....


little scary last nite!!!
My son and I picked up his tux for formal and I took him to the mall to get some Chinese food, it was pretty empty, we never!! go to the mall in the evening or on weekends, just weird kids there....anyway I asked if he wanted to take it home or just eat there...we decided to eat there, I asked him if he would like to go and check out American Eagle and see whats new...
he says, "no, I am getting a headache" well we are eating and he says, his headache is getting worse and he wants to just take his food home, ok,
home we go...
here is the scary...
there was a shooting in the mall,
if we hadn't left when we did, we would of been right next to the store where the shooting happened!!!
thank GOD for giving him a headache right then!
They think its gang related, of course!
so, a little scared and relieved!!!


ps. after we were home, his headache was gone.

Praise the Lord for leading you to safety...Amazing how something we think is a bad thing (like a sudden headache) can lead to being a huge blessing...Just shows we should not question what God is doing in our lives.

And yes I find malls scary in the evenings too.

Blessings Kelsie

PS: Hope your sons headache is better now.

O my! This made me so choked up! What an answer to prayers to have God watch over us! He answers them before we even ask sometimes.... if we only could "pull back the curtain" and see what we are saved from. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I read it to my 10 year old and 8 year old and they loved it, too.

Do you remember the mass shooting at Virginia Tech a few years back? Well, my husband worked there and even though he wasn't there at the time, it still shook me up!
