“I smile with joy, peace, and thankfulness tonight before going to bed. Tonight was a very frightening night. I walked out into the parking garage and saw a white van parked beside my car with 3 men that had previously been following me in the mall. You hear this story all the time…I won’t go into the details of mine, however, I’m very thankful tonight to be writing y’all a message of awareness. Even though we serve a GOOD God let me remind you that scary things can happen at any time, because until the day Jesus comes back evil will still be in the world.

“For my earthly dad who answered the phone to calm my Spirit, and for my Heavenly Father who sends His Spirit to comfort me. For people like @hillsongunited for the words of their songs that I had embedded in my brain when thoughts of fear were wanting to take over.

“We aren’t necessarily the most aware of our surroundings generation, but a minute of not paying attention tonight could of (sic) created a whole different life for me. Be aware, always be in prayer, trust your ‘weird feelings’ (Spirit Checks), and call your accountability ALWAYS no matter how sure you are of the situation. We all need help every now and then…don’t be afraid to ask. I’m praying for bravery over every person who encounters a situation like the one I did tonight.”
