I know how it feels to think you’re going to be murdered. Long story incoming, I’m shaken and unable to sleep so trying to get it all out. I headed to my brothers to watch my 13 year old niece tonight since my sister in law was out of town and my brother had to go on shift last min. I got there later than I had planned because I wanted to make her dinner and bring it over… so it was dark when we sat down to eat the house was rather dark as well … they live in an area where you don’t just pull up to houses and the parcels are 10-20 acres, rural. 30 min after I got there a man pulled down the drive and turned his lights off , he had a flashlight and started looking in the windows/we then heard him trying to enter what we believe to be the garage… we locked all the doors we could find (this house is huge)… I caught a glimpse of his face and we didn’t know if there were more of them because she said she heard voices , I was on the phone with 911 so I didn’t hear that. We ran to a back bedroom downstairs where there is sliding glass door and l locked the bedroom door… I didn’t know if he/they were on the deck as it wraps around the whole house so we didn’t go out the slider yet ... I could not get to the gun because it was in a place where he was trying to enter from what we could hear. He was pushing on a door in the back of the house as we hid behind a bed next to a sliding glass door, the banging kept getting louder we were in absolute terror. … I was begging 911 to hurry and we believed he had made entrance so I said LORD JESUS WHAT DO I DO…I knew the answer was…RUN…. We opened the sliding door and ran into the dark both of us barefoot holding hands crying and falling screaming at 911 to hurry not knowing if he/they were behind us because we couldn’t see.... Fell down hills over and over and finally got to another house maybe 1/4 a mile away and banged on the door to let us in. The sheriffs showed up about 15 min later , the chopper was searching the neighborhood and he got away but I saw his face and his car…. This is condensed because I’m in shock still. I’m scared still. I thought I was going to die tonight. Please pray for my niece, this was a traumatic event and I know we will never forget that fear or how it feels to feel like you are going to die by murder... my niece was not quiet as she was in yelling in fear “Jesus don’t let us die” and the door he was trying to enter was feet from the sliding glass door so I don’t know what his intentions were but I do know he must have heard her and didn’t stop. I don’t know if there were more than one. I don’t know if he saw me and followed me or saw her or if he was trying to rob the house, all I know is the Lord Jesus Christ was with us as we ran through the dark pasture, he was there when prayed aloud together for him to save our lives huddled behind a bed in a corner before we ran. I knew that if he did enter that he was going to have to kill me so she could run, and I knew that I was going to meet Jesus if that happened. Please pray for us all. I don’t know if I’ll even sleep but thank you Jesus, had I gotten there 30 min later she would have been alone. God bless the El dorado country sheriffs who showed up so fast, surrounded the house , searched the pasture guns drawn and calmed my sweet niece. Thank you Lord Jesus. THANK YOU. My brother showed up to hold his daughter 👇🏻😭
