One day a girl went to a party and stayed longer than she meant to
Hey boyfriend got drunk and she had to walk home alone

As she made her way home, she saw an alley that was a shortcut to her house.
So, she took it.
But she regretted it as soon as she walked in
And saw a man in a long coat
Almost as if he were waiting for her

She closed her eyes and bowed her head and said a prayer
God, please keep me safe and protect me
Let me arrive home safely

As soon as she said that, she felt a warm air around her
And she felt safe
And walked past the man
Safely to her home

The next morning she read in the newpaper
That a girl got abused in the alleyway she walked through
Twenty minutes after she did
She asked herself a question
Why didn't the man get me instead?

She went to the police station to report her experience
Walking through the alleyway
The police asked her if she could still indentify the man
She said she probably could

They policemen took her to a room where there were pictures
Of criminals and robbers
Of bad men who sinned
She spotted the man's face her first look around
It was as if it sat there waiting to be seen

The man was caught and he confessed what he did
The minute he was caught and handcuffed
He said he had a serious crack problem
And he cannot help but do bad things

The police thanked her and asked if they could do
Anything else for her
She said she wanted to ask the man a question
The police agreed and walked her to the cell in which
He was kept

She asked him why he didn't take her
When she passed through the alleyway first
He said he couldn't
Because she wasn't alone
There was a man walking beside her

A man dressed in what looked like
A glowing white robe
He were with her
So he didn't dare take her
Because of the man

In her heart
She suddenly realized who the man was
So he did hear her prayer
After all

She walked in her room and knelt by her bed
She put her elbows on her mattress
Closed her eyes
And bowed her head

She thanked the LORD for protecting her
For keeping her safe
And for believing in her
When she walked through the alley

And as she prayed
A million times thanks,
Tears of joy and sorrow poured down her face
And onto her mattress
Marking her place joy
But at the same time, sadness

She called it
Her Place of Mixed Emotions
And from there forth
So it became
Her favorite place

To pray
And worship her Savior
On her Place of Mixed Emotions

Many people of all ages get hurt and molested everyday
Because of drunks
And alcoholics
Only 25% or so of these people
Are Christians
If you love God, and aren't afraid to admit it
For whatever reason

Copy this
And post it wherever you can
May the LORD be with you

Amen.

Me Talking Now: This really hit something in my heart. And I realize that that LORD is always with me, wherever I go.
