This morning at around 4:45 in the morning, I woke up with a feeling that there is someone in our compound at the backyard beside our bedroom so I remain lying besides my youngest son until I have seen the penlight coming from our window. Scrupulous man wants to enter inside, upon seeing the penlight, I shout as loud as I could to informed our neighbor that there were scrupulous man inside our compound, If only my youngest son did not wake up from my shout, I probably see the face of the man before he runs away using the firewall because there's no exit gate at the back. Its good I put another safety lock both the main door and the backdoor after we were thief last July 23, 2011. I make sure before I go to sleep to rechecked as such for security reason. The thief does not succeeded, I was really scared knowing that I and my 3 kids together with my effeminate friend only in the house.
Let us always thanking God, let us not lost hope no matter what rials we may encounter in this life. If we completely trust in God and constantly obey His commands, if we fully renew our life, and patiently serve Him, we will certainly receive the strength and help coming from Him in times of our direst need. I promise that I will stand firm for the divine calling and election which God has given us until the last moments of my life or until the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Yes friend I am more extra careful now, there's no able bodied person here, the reason why the badman has strong feeling to get inside our premises. Anyway hubby is coming home next month so nothing to worry the doors and windows are fully secured, the feeling of knowing there's badman around is just the scary part in here. God bless!

Glad to hear that you all were safe, and your screams scared this man away. I know personally this would not want to be something that I would want to experience and would have screamed and called 911 for sure. I know God was protecting and looking over you to have had the chance to spot him. Especially with all the kids being kidnapped etc. this would be a scary thing to experience. But by thanking God like you did that is worth it for sure.

Hi Tina,
How are you now, I hope you are doing well! Yes I am very grateful to God for his continuous guidance and I believed this is the fruit of my strong faith and my sincere devotion in serving Him. Although trials in life come and go, we must not droop of faith. God bless!

It's a good thing that you were roused from your sleep, thus seeing the thief to be at your house. 
At night before going to sleep, my husband would always check if all doors and windows are already closed and secured. Though, I have closed and secured them all, he would still recheck them all. 
That, plus our prayers before we go to sleep makes us safe and secure.
It's really nice that you always pray for safety, in addition for really securing all doors and windows before going to sleep. God, will be there for you when you need Him.

Scrupulous people is very hot their eyes on us may be the have surveillance on my routine and our situation itself, knowing that my husband is not here with us because of he is working abroad and my 3 kids are my only companion all the time. I really thank God for always shower us His guidance. We were robbed already last July 23, 2011, I left my children sleeping the badman wake up my youngest son by telling him somebody is calling so my son roused from his sleep, he ask my son to open our backdoor so he entered inside and took my 2 mobile phones and he even took all my jewelry and some amount of money all of what he did was seen by my youngest son he scared my little boy just to remain silent. I thank God for keeping away my son in danger he did not harm my little boy more than enough to show my devotion in Him. My faith in HIM promised to carry until the last breath of my life. Prayer is our bullet everywhere we go so ought to pray always. Thanks

Oh, so your husband is working abroad. So that explains why robbers have their eyes on your family. They know that you don't have a man to defend you, just children.
I think, you must have some CCTVs or maybe get one or two dogs to guard your perimeters. That way, the dogs will bark when there's someone outside.

For the same reason I also put extra lock on each door connected to outside. Even the windows has iron bar. We should thank God any time. Including thank to God, that I can bought extra lock and another security device.

Certainly, we should be always cautious because we do not know the minds of other people, they prefer to eat from the evil they would not work to have a clean living according to the will of God. I put on the light outside at night time now after the incident happened, in front and at the back.

Indeed you are right. In this world, there are a lot of things that we encounter. Whether it is good or not. We must be thankful about it. For the reason that it is the indication that we are alive and God has not stopped doing great things in this world. Trials, problems and difficulties do come in our lives. But God made it sure that we can pass through it all. As has been said, God will never give us pain and sufferings if He know we can't handle it. So it's good to know that we still have this strong faith on Him! God bless gelayagui98. :)

A breath of prayer in the morning means a day of power and blessings. Let God's providence remind us that He has prepared the best for us today and the days ahead. God bless us all!
