Have you ever wondered if guardian angels exist? Well I have. Bianca Vera has proven to me that everyone has something implausible watching over them every single hour of the day. A couple of days ago I didn’t even know who she was; in a month or two I won’t even remember her name, but her story I will never forget. She’s the woman who jumped off the bridge to avoid an accident and miraculously survived. How can a person jump four stories from a bridge in the freezing waters of Lake Lanier IN THE DARK and swim one hundred yard over forty-five minutes to safety without drowning or freezing to death? My answer to that is simple: a higher power that has control over humanity’s destiny.
My message is not to argue that God exist or to make people believe in angels. I just want to bring to people’s attention that what if there was somebody or something always watching over you. That could be a guardian angel or even a spirit of your loved one. Vera did the impossible; she survived a disaster that had people’s mouths open because it was so extraordinary. How do you explain this? I was moved to tears by her story because as I watched her give her testimony on the news I felt like I was there with her and I could feel the emotions that she must have felt. I asked myself “why” she survived. Was it her purpose to testify to millions of viewers the present of something that is bigger than our minds can conceive? No matter what it is, I believe in that something.
Interesting post, Ajeenah. What a crazy story! I'm going to have to look it up. Hey, remind me on Friday to show you how to embed video into your blog. I think the visuals would really help your readers feel the same sense of wonder that you did.
