Do you believe in Angels?
Well, I don’t know why I’m just thinking of this, but all of a sudden, this question in title got me thinking. Perhaps its coincidence, or rare occurance or jut random thought, or maybe even intervention, but if I was asked this question, I would not hesitate to say "Yes". It harkens back to the days when of my childhood when I really beleived there are angels out there or guardian angel. Looking back to that particular day I will never forget, I should say I’m lucky to be alive.
We just bought a new bike for me, mountain bike, of course I was so excited to ride it out and just speed through whatever road I can pass through. At that time, I was carrying a plastic bag with me, so here goes I see a clear pathway ahead of me, I put the metal to the pedal, muster with all my strength and goes as fast as I can. Happening in all of this was the plastic bag gets caught in my front wheel and wham I go flying in the air for what seemed like 10 feet up and 30 feet ahead of me and I’m thrown out of my bike. It happened so fast that I was like "whoa" what has just happened, little did I realized that I was thrown so far away and that I was "flipped" in the air so suddenly and when I landed I didn’t feel a thing, felt like someone cushioned my fall and helped me escape from what would be a very very painful fall, worse I could have hit head first, broke my neck and die. Second worse scenario, I would have fallen head first, broke my neck, and would never walk again. Third case scenario, I would have fallen face first, take multiple face lashes and be scarred for the rest of my life. But of course none of that happened, as a kid I would never had understood the concept of life and death, but for that moment, a kid realizes how close I was to really understand the meaning of that concept. I chose to believe that an angel came to my rescue, and gave me a second chance and let me know, "I’m here for you Jerome…no harm will come to you."
Till this day, everytime I look back at the moment, it gives me the chills. I Believe…..
