'The Lord Had Other Plans': Lifeway Christian Employees Say God Shielded Them from Shooting
Employees at the Lifeway Christian Resource building in Nashville say God divinely intervened to protect them when a bullet shattered a fifth-floor window Thursday.
"I've had 3 separate convos where people (including myself) had planned to be in the area/direction where the shots came from," Bekah Stoneking wrote on Twitter. "The Lord had other plans."
Metro police confirmed that a caller heard a loud pop right before the bullet hit the window.
They found a bullet near a filing cabinet in the office.
No one was hurt.
"It also seems He used a well-placed filing cabinet for people near the shattered window," Stoneking added. "We are all okay."
I've had 3 separate convos where people (including myself) had planned to be walking in the area/direction where the shots came from; the Lord had other plans. It also seems He used a well-placed filing cabinet for the people near the shattered window. We're all okay.
