Last night we were met with the reality that we are young women in a crazy, sinful world. 3 days ago, I was running and followed a little bit by 2 creepers in a white truck. I didn't feel unsafe, I just felt a little unsettled. I ran home really fast and I was ok. I told my roommates so they would be on alert if we saw them again.

Last night, I was awakened by my roommate, Pamela. She had seen a white truck circling our cul de sac, after looking out it drove away really fast. She came to ask me about it, so I got up. I thought they were freaking out just a little bit, as it could be anyone. They called the non emergency number, and they sent a deputy out. We waited for about 10 minutes before a loud bang on the door freaked us out. We called 911, updated our story, and the deputy was there within a minute.

The deputy drove around and hung out in the cul de sac for a few minutes. 2 of my roommates talked with him for a few minutes. Then we called one of our guy friends in the neighborhood to spend the night, so we would feel safer. We walked around the house with our bats and golf clubs, seeing that everything was ok. We stayed up until about 2:30am, and we slept in Pammy's big room. I slept with a golf club in my bed. I think I will do that tonight as well.

It was just a reminder of my own insecurity, my own infallibility. I was so scared last night, it was hard to remember that God is big and God is good. I hate the fact that I am scared and feel helpless when these things happen. I also will be looking into buying a gun this week. I have wanted one for a long time, and this pretty much seals the deal!!

We are safe, praise God. He is good, He is big, He is bigger than the evil in this world!!
