The Bullet

Some one gave me this book called Stories for a Teens Heart. I has many different life situations of teenagers. All of them are testimonies of their lives. I wanted to share this one that really touched me concerning the Awesome intervention of God;

It was a late march afternoon and Anya sat in the car memorizing Bible verses. She did this every week while her little brother, Zeek, had his piano lessons. Her turn would come next, but memorizing meant repeating the verses out loud and that worked best in the car. She was a part of her junior high Bible quiz team and that rewired knowing a psrt of one of the books of the Bible very well. No problem. Anya loved the competition!

Their music teacher lived in a two story house and the piano was upstairs. just before the lesson began, Zeek told his Mom "I want Sissy to listen to my lesson." Mom reminded him that Anya needed the study time, and besides, she had been listening to him practice his piano lesson all week at home. But Zeek was determined, he went down to the car and to Mom's surprise returned with his big sister.

The lesson began. Five minutes later the lesson was abruptly halted by a loud noise out side. Everyone stopped to watch a late-model car speeding away. The lesson rusmed after the teacher reassured them thatit was probably the cars backfire they had heard.

Zeek's hands were barely on the piano when the teacher's husband rushed in: " a gun shot...into the car...shattered the passenger side window in the front seat!" The lesson was over. They hurried down to look. sure enough, there was a bullet lodged in the backrest just where Anya's head had been five minutes earlier.

They all knew immediately. God had used seven-year-old Zeek to save his sister's life. It was a profound moment. Zeek had responded when it hadn't made sense to him or anyone else, and Anya had compliedwith his illogical request.

The two snipers who were driving through the streets of Salem, Oregon, randomly shooting at mailboxes, cars, and houses, were arrested and held on one-million dollar bail. The district attorney asked Anya and Zeek to come to court and tell their story. the young men were sent to prison for five years, but not without hearing how God had protected a seven-year-old and his big sister.

I found that just amazing!! Praise God!
