Saved from a possibly robbery at the bank...

This winter, on the way home from shopping (after dark), I pulled up to an ATM machine so my mom could make some deposits, and I usually let her get out and walk around the car to do her banking... this time, I felt uneasy for some odd reason (didn't get a peace about it), so I backed the car up a little and pulled it tighter to the ATM. I told her to just tell me what to do, and I'll do it this time. So I pushed in the ATM card, typed out the pin, and started selecting from the menu, and all of a sudden, I was in the middle of pecking away, I just glanced up in my rearview mirror, to see this guy walking right up behind the car (about 14 feet from my bumper!!!), with a cell phone in his hand. Being after dark, with the area not well lit up, an alley not far away and a party store just about a block away, I didn't want to hang around... so I hit "cancel" and pulled the ATM card out... and popped it in 1st gear and sped off! I had to turn on an alley to get back to the road I was going to take home, and as I was driving down the alley, we saw this other guy creeping up behind the first one!!

If mom had done the banking and walked around the car (like normal), she could have NEVER gotten back into the car by the time the guy walked up, OR if I hadn't looked up in the rearview mirror when I did, that guy would have been able to walk right up beside my car and who knows what he had in mind???

A miracle?? I'd say so!!!

In Christ,
Bobby

Thats amazing sorry about the lateness of my reply.. I have been mugged before we all have to be vigilante in todays society. This is SAD i'd say. To be paranoid is good because the thief is desperate and will try to trick us.

I say we need to pray for protection everytime we leave the house . I am thank full you were protected that day Praise God!
