A move home!

Chris and I have been spending a lot of time at his parent's house the past two days. His sister Kim is currently staying there and Chris and Kim are like best friends who have been separated for years. We are going back again tomorrow, because they are having a welcome home party for her. Her husband, Brian won't be back until Sunday, as he is currently driving a U-Haul from North Carolina. Kim took Chris and me over to see her new apartment tonight, and while we were there I worked up the nerve to ask her if I could share her story on my blog, which she agreed to, so here goes.....

About three weeks ago, at about ten in the morning while Brian was at work, Kim was sleeping in her apartment when she woke up to her cat standing at her door in full pounce position. Kim said she thought someone was at the door, because her cat apparently does this when someone knocks. She got out of bed and walked around the corner into her living room and there was a man standing in her kitchen. Kim, who was of course shocked, yelled for him to get out of there. This man held her captive for two hours while stabbing her, choking her, and much more. He tried to choke her with her belt and when that didn't work, he went to stabbing her. He stole her wedding rings, her phone, her camera, and a lot more. This man told her as he was leaving that if she had just stayed asleep, he wouldn't have had to do that.  Let me tell you how strong Kim is, after this man eventually left, Kim said she was laying there and her thoughts were of her husband and how she didn't want him to come home and find her dead. Kim got out of that bed, climbed down the stairs, and went to her neighbor's apartment to get help. She was flown to a heart clinic, because they thought the stab wound went into her heart. She ended up with a hole in her lung and a cracked breast plate and many scratches.

I could not believe how this man got into her apartment! They lived on the second floor and had a small balcony in the back. This man somehow climbed up the pole to the balcony and got in. Can you believe that? Lock your doors people! This man has not been caught yet. Although,today the detective on her case called  and said they knew who he was, had a warrent out for him, and had a witness. Praise the Lord!

Here is a picture of Kim and Brian that I took at their rehearsal dinner last year. Please pray for Kim and Brian and their marriage.

Thanks for listening to me!
