Fire!

Ok everybody! I have quite the story to tell you!

Last night was a very eventful night for me. I was asleep in my bed and I randomly woke up and couldnt go back to sleep because my mind was playing tricks on me and I kept seeing shadows and hearing noises...yeah ok I was kinda scared. So I prayed for Gods protection and went to sleep. The next time I woke up I felt my lungs and eyes burning and in my sleepy mind I thought Dad started a fire in the wood stove in the next room, but soon I realized that was not wood smoke, and it was NOT in the next room! I rolled over and saw smoke billowing up right next to me. I jumped out of bed and ran to my parents room yelling to Dad that my bed was on fire. Dad rushed to my room flicked on the light to see my room filled with smoke and the bed billowing smoke. Running to my bed he grabbed the blankets off my bed just as they burst into flames, he threw them out my window but unfortuantly it landed on the wood pile so he had to run outside with the hose to put the fire out. Thinking the fire was out we left the room with the window open to let out the smoke. about 10 minutes later I told Dad it smelled funny again, he opened my door to find my bed on fire again! With a large charred hoel in my mattress. So now my mattress is out of commision and in a dumpster. And I have a sleeping bag and a couch to sleep on for the rest of Christmas break.

The amazing thing is how my bed burned, I was quite literaly curled right around the fire, yet I wasnt burned at all. My blankets that were directly on top of me were melted yet I was fine. I will never ever again underestimate the power of prayer, God protected me and woke me up just in time before my bed burst into flames. I am a very deep sleeper, I wake for nothing, yet less then a minute before it was too late God woek me up. Praise the Lord!
