When I was in 3rd, I was considered a Latch-Key Kid. I walked home everyday after school, and stayed home alone until about 6 or 7 in the afternoon. I lived in a bad neighborhood, as well, so I always had to be aware of my surroundings.
One day, I left early from after school choir practice. I walked home, just as I always did, and was home alone. About 5 to 10 minutes after locking up and getting ready to do my homework, someone knocked on the back door. I assumed it was my uncle (who I lived with and had custody of me). I ran to the back door to immediately open it, but as I went for the door knob, I froze solid. I couldn't move, and all I could do was ask "Who is it?" It was a deep male voice that replied "Is so-n-so (stated my uncle's FULL name) there?" Well, I then ran quickly to my uncle's bedroom, looked out the window carefully, and saw someone dressed like a typical robber (in a ski mask, and all). I immediately called my Aunt and the Police. Thankfully, the person ran out the the back gate to the alley, and I was unharmed.
Could you just imagine what would have happened if I had opened that door? I seriously froze solid, and couldn't move when I went for the door knob. That plays in my mind everytime I feel discourged about God and his plan for me. He protected me that day, and I am grateful. Even to this day, I'm still shocked at what happened. I know that God is always with me and will always protect me.

Thank you for your testimony. I think when we get to Heaven God will show us all the times He protected us here on earth that we are not even aware of. We have an AWESOME God !!!
