When I was five years old, I had a small group of friends that I played with. We lived in a rather large apartment complex, and all of the moms would take turns watching each others kids. If I was by my friends side of the building, her mom would watch us, and vice versa.

Most children, at one time or another, will think they have some form of magic. I too believed I possessed such great powers. I mean, being that my cousins would have me turn into a dog named Fido every time I visited them, (Don’t ask.)I figure I was special.

One sunny afternoon, we were all gathered on my side of the complex. I looked at my friends and told them I had powers. Of course their reaction was, Yea, right! Hmmm, I wonder what made them say that?

While trying to convince them otherwise, I was laughing to myself, and thinking of how I was going to show off these amazing powers I thought I had. I said to them, If you don’t believe me watch, I am going to make is snow.?

Now, in my head I was thinking how this was going to really happen. It was in the middle of May, and warm out.

While pondering on my plans, I heard my friends snickering behind me with such lack of faith; that’s when I said to myself, I will show them!

I turned to them and said, watch, here I go. I took a few steps forward onto the grass. My hands were raised in a V as I looked up at the heavens and said, Let it snow!?

While still holding my hands in the air, I turned my head slightly to see if they were still there witnessing my moment of juvenile insanity, and they were. They were looking up at the sky smiling. I was not sure if they were making fun of me or what. And then, there it was, a snow flake fell past my face; it began to flurry! I could not believe it! (I wonder if this is how Storm from X-Men found her ability to manipulate the weather lol)

I told my friends I had to go home. I went running up my stairs. My mom was looking out the window, watching the snow falling, so I went over to her and told her I made it snow. She told me she believed me. (Mom’s are great for reassurance, even if they themselves are not sure lol)

Now, whether or not I actually had any influence on the weather, we will never know, but that night was the first night where an angel came to visit me. (That is another story)
