My Miracle
Well it's not actually MY miracle, seeing that i didnt do it myself, and it may be a little presumptuous calling it a miracle...but here's what happened.
Four years ago my brother and i worked in a day care center at a park in Watts. If you don't know watts, it is notorious for it's gang activity. Anyway, nothing bad ever there until the day before my last day of work. I was outside playing with the kids and my brother had just gone inside to do some work for the supervisor. All of a sudden, everyone heard shots ring out. I, though, had never heard gunshots before, so i mistaked the sound for fire works. Also, i had no glasses, so i could brely see a thing. so i turned around to the source of the sound, and saw a man fire rounds around at four different people. Then, and at the time i didn't realize it, he fired at me! i, though, nearly blind, couldn't tell what was going on, and walked closer to the gunman. Then he continued shooting and rode off on his bike.
It was only afterwards that i realized that the guy had shot at me, at a reasonably close range, but no bullet ever came. After the first time he shot is when i walked even closer to the gunmen, trying to see what was going on. He was baffled that i had not fallen from the first shot, so he shot at me a second time. When nothing happened again, he looked baffled and then shot more times at someone else, then rode off. Going over this in my mind, i realized that jehovah had protected me somehow. i don't think i'll ever forget that incident

that's crazy, why weren't you wearing your glasses??
i didn't have a pair yet. dealing with HMO's.
are you sure he wasn't shooting blanks? that's insanely crazy though. i am happy you are okay.
no, he wasn't shooting blanks, because all three other people he shot at were hit and went down.
maybe he had some blanks and some real bullets, just to switch it up
or there could have been a party going on and they were popping those party poppers that are just so loud.. or those snaps that you throw on the ground and they go BAM !.. .WHAP!
why does everybody doubt this? He shot at me, TWICE! no blanks. a man tried to kill me, for goddness sake! how traumatizing!
Maybe its because things like that just don't happen around here.
yeah, i guess. i live in a pretty terrible area.
yeah, its not like people get shot in Jersey!
poeple get shot everywhere! especially in jersey!
He was being sarcastic...That's why I didn't respond to him.
in newark i see gangs and people getting busted by the cops all the time. i haven't been shot at though thankfully. i did tell you guys the story about my car getting beat on though
