A couple of days ago there was a shooting in my neighborhood. Three houses down from us in the opposite side of our street. It was late at night around 1 am, when we heard several Gunshots and a Silent sniper gunshot. I immediately told my husband to go to the kids room and make sure everyone was ok. The kids were sound asleep and my husband watch outside through the window and a bunch of the neighbors went out looking and someone called the police. The ambulance, firefighters truck, and many police cars came. Me and my husband watched to see if anyone was hurt. Unfortunately there was a man that got shot and was taken to the hospital. I find out the next day that he died in the hospital. It was scary hearing the gunshot but at that moment I was thanking God for protecting us. As we were watching out the window, we said a little prayer for that family. I hope that everything will be alright with them. One verse came to mind as this is all happening:
PSALM 91:7 "
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you."
God truly did put his layer of protection over us and many things has happen in our street but nothing really happens to our family. Last year our next door neighbor's house got caught on fire and was burned down. But nothing happens to us. God's grace is truly upon us.
