Jeanne Assam is my Hero

I'm sure you've heard about the shootings in Colorado. Well, have you heard the petite blond security guard's testimony? It's amazing! After being on a fast for 3 days asking God to show her what to do with her life, she "happened" to be the security guard who was closest to the door. After she heard the shots outside, she steadied her hand and aimed right at the shooter when he came into the New Life Church. She said that she felt as if the Holy Spirit was guiding her. She fired three rounds ending the shooting.

You see, she killed him before he came into the church where 700 people were gathered. If the shooter would have entered the auditorium, the unsuspecting congregation would have been like sitting ducks. We later found out that the shooter had 1,000 rounds of ammunition. The security guard, Jeanne Assam, saved many lives that day.

Whenever I saw her on TV, she was sitting next to a man, and I honestly thought she was his wife or something. Not so...SHE was the hero. It sounds a little like a modern day David and Goliath. Plus, after not eating for 3 days, you'd think that she would be weak, but she was very steady. In our weakness, HE is strong.
