Hi,
I just wanted to share a story that happened to me during my early childhood. When I was about 10 years old I was watching a movie in my moms room upstairs late at night with my family (my dad was not home, it was only my sister, mom, and grandmother). It was raining outside and out of the blue our alarm system went off. Because we live in a semi-dangourous city we had this alarm installed and it was top of the line. It never glitches and only went off if someone went in the door when it was armed. We believed someone had entered our house because of the dangerous city and previous experiences of people coming to our door. We swore we heard the door close and our dogs abruptly stopped barking. We truly thought we would die. It may seem crazy but in the moment I thought about how on the news it would show our faces and talk about our death, it was that serious. My mom stacked tables and pillows across the door and called 911. I did not have a true relationship with Jesus at the time but suddenly in the wake of our (believed) death my sister and I held hands and prayed to Jesus. We called to Him and asked Him to save us. Not much later the police were outside and asked us to slowly exit the room while on the phone with them. So, we moved to items away and no one was in the house. We stayed at a hotel for a week because we were that scared. I have never told this story before, nor has anyone in my family ever talked about it since the day it happened because it was so scary and caused so much fear. Now I don't know if it was the storm that caused the alarm to go off or if there was truly someone there in the house, but I learned from the experience that you should always called upon His name in your time of need. Even though I was not a true believer in Christ at the time, I now know that God can truly influence us beyond our knowledge. Thanks for reading. If you have any questions or comments I would be happy to reply.
