Protected
Testimonies

"The Lord is my protector ... He protects me like a shield ...." Psalm 18:2
We bought a take-away business and when the manager left we had to take over. It was hard work, working our full time jobs during the day and the Take-away business at night.
One day I saw a gang member steal food from a drunk. I went over and told him to give it back. He leapt at me, but before he could touch me a girl appeared out of no-where. She grabbed hold of him saying,"Don't touch her. She's a friend of his." He calmed down and left. How the girl appeared so suddenly I don't know, but I was protected and amazed.
Another time I was serving a man who was high on drugs and alcohol. Suddenly he picked up the cash register and was about to throw it at me when he suddenly turned and threw to one side. I was so shocked I froze. I wouldn't have been able to duck if he had thrown it at me. I had to spend the rest of the evening out the back because I was so shaken up.
Another time a man came up to me and said, "Do you know who I am?" I didn't. He became agitated and violent and was about to attack me when out of nowhere two policemen grabbed him and took him away.
