Hey, forgive yourself for parking in a vacant lot and forgetting to lock your doors. It was supposed to happen that way because you were able to experience the Holy Sprit alerting you and prompting you. In the end, God was glorified through you as you shared with so many people how He protected and covered you. To God be the glory! I’m grateful you’re okay.
I noticed that when you got in to the van after washing the van, you sat in your seat, closed the door and started talking to the camera. Lock your door as soon as you get in, no matter where you are!
He knew you were in there. I had a guy standing at the light, staring daggers at me and my instinct told me to lock the door. He acted like he was crossing the street, then quickly diverted and grabbed my door handle. He was a white male with dead eyes. Once he failed, his whole posture immediately changed into a "poor beggar looking for pocket change." I drove off when the light changed. From that day on, my doors are locked before the door closes! So glad you are ok!!!
Having worked in the security and investigation field for the last 20 years, I think you really came close…..That guy probably watched you for a long time. He believed you were alone and therefore vulnerable. Stay safe young lady ❤
I don’t think he was watching her. He sounded like an opportunist and thought he’d go for it. If he would have been watching her he’d know she was in there.
She doesn't have to get a huge dog, just one that can alert her to danger. My chihuahua can hear a whisper 2 miles away. She's the watchdog for our house at night. It's up to her to maintain the cleanliness of the dog. The Lord protected you that day. That dude was a demon.
My uncle was a deputy sheriff. He said the best thing you can do is hit the panic alarm on your key fob. I sleep with my keys by my bed if I hear anything at night.
Hey Noami, I don't normally comment on videos; but I wanted to let you know that you probably did lock the doors. There is a gadget (idk what it's called) that can unlock electric locks. I heard about it from my mom (she saw another van lifer fall victim to it- thank God they weren't hurt). You should make locking the deadbolts to your driver and passenger doors a part of your routine. You should also look into deadbolting the sliding door (if they don't already come with it) since they're also electrical. Don't beat yourself up over this incident, you did the right things in listening to the Holy Spirit and acting fast. I hope my comment helps! God bless 💖 Edit*** I'm not a van lifer (I'm hoping to get a small RV sometime soon!); my mom told me about this happening to someone else. I'm sorry for the miscommunication!
I've heard about that device, too. They say not to leave your keys near your door as you walk in, if your car has a remote entry. This device can read your signal, and they can break into your car. I take my car key to bed. Car alarm is a great thing if you find yourself in trouble at night and need help.
Glad you're safe! Could you put your keys 🗝️ on a lanyard and post a few reminders lock the doors. Just in case you're tired. Thanks for sharing. Be safe
God has His angels watching over you🙏🏾 .. Let God's peace rule in your heart... mind... body. We experience things so that we will be able to help/inform and comfort others 2Cor 1:3-4. You are a very informative resource for me as I study/research my journey toward solo vanlife. Be encouraged💞 You are a Blessing😇
I think your military training really helped you in this situation. You reacted quickly and appropriately. Lessons learned, but you are alright. Lessons learned. So glad you are ok. ❤
You may have saved my life. You kept saying lock your door and just looked over to make sure my bolt was latched. It was unlocked. Just moved and getting used to new habits for new surroundings. I broke basic protocol. Thank you so very much. ❤
Blow the vehicle horn to grab attention and deter the stranger in case this happens again. I am so glad you are safe. God definitely showed up and protected you!! 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️
girl that was the Holy Spirit telling you to get up and make sure you were safe. Thank you Lord praying for your safety and the safety of all others living in their vans, cars etc. Glad you had the wisdom to listen when it said get up and glad your safe. beautiful beach love it
Yes, yes, yes! He the Holy Spirit is the 3rd part of the Godhead. He is the nature of God that lives within Gods children. I even depend upon Him to tell me where to locate things I have misplaced. He has never failed me. He never leaves us or forsake us! So glad Nomi listened and responded to his unction. Also never forget to ask God to give your assigned Angel power to carry out his assignments on your behalf. And do speak Psalm 91 over yourself and your van. God continue to bless you and give you supernatural favor!
I love that you acknowledged God! Yes....God is our protector! Who knows what could have happened, but if God had to intervened, I feel like it would have been bad
So glad it all turned out ok. Some advice: have pepper spray handy in several areas, wasp spray is another deterrent. Shoots out 20 ft. Crazy times, but I’d get a handgun and learn how to shoot it. A dog is another deterrent. You have to protect yourself! Stay safe!
She carries protection from man and animal. I don't know what type of protection but she's a combat veteran so she definitely knows how to protect herself.
Miss Nomad, please don’t beat yourself up. You made it through without being hurt or losing anything. You learned from it. It’s normal to feel upset and scared in this situation. We sometimes get distracted. You’ve already decided to park near other people and always check to ensure you’ve locked the doors. Rest well and be safe. ❤
I am a long-time follower and when I saws the title of this video, I instantly had a knot in my stomach. So happy God kept you protected and that you listened to your instinct. Sending continued prayers your way.
Nomi, I believe you are right. I believe it was the Lord that woke you up and had you check your van (perhaps His Guardian Angels-Psalm 91: 9-12). So glad you’re okay! I love your channel and I will be praying for you. Thanks for sharing your van life with us!
Yes! God was with you! Also…Girl, that natural instinct and military training had you up in a flash and up there on alert and locking that drivers door!! YES! We are taught to be aware and able to react in a matter of seconds!! We all make mistakes and now, you will now be more alert and aware of everything! I’m so relieved you are ok. ❤
God spoke to you and directed your actions. You were unusually tired and when we’re truly fatigued we do things out of character. Prayers have been prayed for you and your safety and they did not go unheard. Let this be a learning experience, keep acknowledging God & do all you can remain safe.
Girl, that could have been horrible for you. Thank GOD you woke up and you're right about who woke you up at the right time! I know this won't happen again because you will be uber militant about locking up your van from now on. Also, where's your weapons, cause he would've caught one if he had got into my van! Be safe girl!!
Glad you are okay😢 Something similar happened to Alyssa Vanilla on her channel. A man stalked her out from up on a mountain. Came down and told her a man was watching her and pointed her out to him, so he came to WARN her that "Some guy" was watching her. He returned a second time like an hour later to talk to her again. He basically warned her of what his plan was for her if she stayed. She followed her gut and left too. That is terrifying.
@@EHK-EXPRESSIONSif it’s titles scary story something like that it’s the vid..or u can just type in van life scary night (i do that to find vids like this)
He wanted her to feel comfortable by telling her someone (else) was watching… then it turns out to be him. Watching enough murder shows that was actually a scenario on one of them were the murderer actually will insert themselves as possibly a witness or I saw some thing they come forward I saw some thing when it’s really them. STAY SAFE MY LADIES!!!
It's important to share these stories so others like you who are out there can always be vigilant and prepared because you never know when things can happen. Predators know who they target and are waiting for any slip ups
Thank God you got through that and once you got a breath in you did finish your protocol. What freaks me out is the boldness of doing this in Bright light in the middle of the day! So happy you are ok happy trails to you!
I’m glad you are safe. Never break character and always lock your door. Never park in an empty lot and exercise your 2nd amendment. As someone commented here, better to be judged by 12 than be carried by 6. Stay safe Nomi.
Oh goodness Nomi, please be careful honey. I survived a home invasion 4 years ago in my apartment and while I have come a long way I still have PTSD and to see a counselor once a month. A break-in is horrible. Praying for your continued safety and peace of mind. 🙏😌✨💜
Maybe this needed to happen to get you to never forget to lock the van again, and also telling you to not park in completely empty parking lots anymore! So so happy you are okay!!
"What ifs" will eat away your peace of mind. You learned valuable lessons God intended to teach. Let go of what could have happened. Focus on what DID & DIDN'T happen. Thank you, God for protecting, inspring & manifesting an opportunity to learn. It is precious how you give to God the glory in this. Blessings 🙏 are prayed your way. ♥️
So glad you trusted your instinct and got up!! Try to focus on all that you fid right… trusted your gut, immediately looked at the light and locked the doors. So many might not have had the swiftness of action to not continue trying to find the key. Your strategy of jumping in the seat and putting in the key was excellent too. You did so many things soooo right!!! Love your videos and so glad you sre safe and sharing this experience will help so many others!!
That dude's adrenaline was probably going knowing he was fixing to break into your vehicle. That's probably why he didn't hear you hit that lock. Damn girl, that is mega scary! Even knowing it was a reenactment made my heart race just watching it! So happy you're safe! Somebody up there was watching after you that day! Thank you Lord!
I thank God you are safe and was happy to hear you gave God the praise for your quick thinking. Just found you in my scrolling today and enjoying watching you, your travels and all the yummy foods you eat!
I think he knew you were there, but his intentions were more than stealing something of value. He simply didn't give a F. Some people are just evil and want to harm others for their twisted urges. Be safe out there. Blessings to you. 🪷
I commend you on working well under pressure. Hitting that interior locked was genious. I have no doubt the Holy Spirit was with you, alerting you and protecting you. Powerful lesson learned. And most importantly, you are safe. ❤😊🙏
I'm so glad that you clarified because I was about to be sooo mad at you if you knew everything was unlocked!!! Glad your safe. Do not be discouraged. ❤
I'm so grateful that your gut instinct kicked in when you heard the voice of God. I was just saying to myself that whenever I take my dog out for a walk to always lock my apartment doors. This has put me on alert. Stay safe and know that you are encamped about with prayers of your fam community. You are loved!
Hello Nomi, let just say that a women’s gut feeling never fails. God woke you up just in time and even though you couldn’t find the keys God protected you until you took off. Your a brave woman maybe you didn’t realize if you did or did not lock the doors but he didn’t let you fall victim. I’m so happy you took time to have a little fun in between the waves 🌊 Salted ocean water is good for the soul. Many many blessings on your journey through life. Don’t beat yourself up just be extra cautious. You take care of your stay cool safe and healthy 😊
Please dont be so hard on yourself. Its easy to become comfortable and complacent when people get into a routine. It is a valuable lesson and I'm so happy that you listened to your gut!
I am in the logistics industry and we always send out company wide warnings about theft and break ins over holiday weekends. There is the assumption that the “cargo” is left unattended. Your van gives the impression that there is something inside worth stealing. An angel was watching over you. Luckily you and your van are safe and you will never break character again. Intuition and faith are powerful Be safe out there. ❤
I just rewatched this. All I want to say is, you just help me regain my faith. I've just been waiting for evidence and you just provided it. Thank you.
God is ever faithful, Nomi! Thankfully, you learned a lot from the scary incident. I always say, “When you know better, you do better.” I’m so grateful that you had your wits about you and acted quickly to avoid harm. I hope you won’t dwell on what could have happened; just remember to do better going forward! Love your videos and praying for your safety ❤️
Hey Nomi, I thank God that you were not harmed during this attempted break-in. And you've already said it; God woke you up and put you on alert and gave you the wisdom to know that your routine is everything to your safety and preparedness. ❤🐢🙏🏾 I pray for your safety and loved watching your joy at the beach.
Naomi, every moment cannot be predicted. Gut instincts are always clues to awaken our inner sensitivity. We are living in “the last days” 2Timothy2:1-5. This country in particular,is rife w/inequities and political corruption. There are people who should be housed in monitored quarters and unfortunately are being left unattended. You and many others are being subjected to irrational behavior due to these existing elements. Continue to put your trust in whom it belongs and be mindful in your behavior with yourself and your property.😊
oh, Nomi, I'm so sorry for what happened. I can tell you're really shaken. Please try to not beat yourself up too much. I'm glad to see that you're treating it as a lesson to learn from. All thanks to God for keeping you safe from something that could've been much worse. Hugs.
Kudos to you for reacting so fast... I'm actually impressed... your reaction in such a tense moment says alot... your alertness and reaction was just tops... well done!... you need to be proud of yourself....
Thank God you are ok. Yes, please never park in isolated places. There are predators just waiting for the chance to target your property and/or you. As the old saying goes, there is safety in numbers.
No more, “what if” you followed your gut! Now, moving forward you have to stay focus! Also, you’re the 4th female vanlife person who had an attempt intruder. I pray for all of the female van lifers! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 This a cruel world! Blessings
There’s a wonderful book called “The Gift of Fear” it documents how humans are the only species on the planet that does not automatically trust their instincts and react immediately. As your doing this journey solo it would be a great read for you. God has you in his hand but sadly there are still those who do not know him and will gladly cause you harm without hesitation. Stay safe, be blessed and God Speed on this journey you have chosen❤️🙏
Oh Nomi!! I’m so sorry this happened to you!! We all let our guard down sometimes!! Don’t be too hard on yourself… lesson learned👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thank you for sharing!🤗
Nomi, you've almost become like a virtual daughter to me, and I'm so glad that God nudged you to get up, and that you obeyed that nudge. I'm also glad you acknowledge that it was God, indeed. I think you're going in the right direction by deciding to eventually invest in property for a homebase because it's time like these where you could use it to regroup and recover. Thank God you're okay!
Hey Nomi, I am so glad that God woke you up and you had time to secure your vehicle. Be careful to not park in places where there is no other vehicles. Safety first.
Nomi, without a doubt GOD GOT YOU UP!!!! I am full of goosebumps!!! How freakin scary!! I'm shaken up for you. God was looking out for you. Forgive yourself and now you know better. You will NEVER make that mistake again. Thank god you're safe. That man was full of crazy. You made all the right moves because God was with you. -Lety from Chicago
Thank god you did some quick thinking God was watching over you wow I haven’t been watching your channel for a while and to scroll through and this was the first video that popped up sending prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That gut feeling is amazing isn't it? And I'll boldly say especially for us women who have it ingrained in us since we're little to hear when it's screaming at us that something isn't right. So, yours is working great and you're only human and I can totally see myself forgetting to lock some doors here and there too. Scary though and so glad you're ok!🙏
Sorry about such an harrowing experience. I know ur a Vet and hopefully carry ur 2nd amendment with you. Protection prayers continue with u. Thank u for ur service.
Thank God you're alright! Quit beating yourself up focus on the positive. This situation will help you to be more alert and look how many viewers you are helping by sharing this (I'm one). Take care and stay safe!
Your guardian angel prompted you. I feel like it ended up being a huge learning experience for you. The fact that he walked all the way around your van instead of trying to open the first doors he came to instead of your driver’s door., too. 🙀 God definitely was protecting you. Situational awareness it key! So glad you are safe! 🙏🏻😊
@@SuperCaliforniaBarbi most thieves are opportunistic and will try whatever entrance they come to first. If he wanted to just drive off he could have walked directly to the door as he approached the van.
I am so grateful for your quick action. God definitely woke you up at the exact moment to lock the Van. Thank God that you are ok. That was very scary. God is always with us. 🙏🤗💖
Nomi, I was shocked to see the incident where someone attempted to break into your van in the middle of a parking lot. I can't imagine how unsettling that must have been for you. I just wanted to send you some love and let you know that I'm thinking of you during this time. Your videos have been a source of inspiration and entertainment for me, and I admire your adventurous spirit in living in your van. As a pastor, I want you to know that I've included you in my prayers, asking for your safety and well-being during your travels. Please stay safe, and never hesitate to reach out to your community if you ever need support or assistance. We've got your back! Take care of yourself, and I hope you continue to share your incredible journey with us. Sending positive vibes, virtual hugs, and prayers your way.
I am new to your channel. I just subbed. I am watching my second video. Girl, you got me scared. I don't know you, but I am going to say a prayer for you. I am doing it now. What happened to you, is probably the MAIN reason why I don't venture out more. But I have total respect for you. Stay safe! ❤
Philly: You should check into alarm system for vans like they do cars that headlight flash/horn blaring loudly/hubcaps/steering wheel etc lock while blurring. You should check into that.
This is why I love motored RVs compared to fifth wheels, etc. Can you imagine having this happen in a fifth wheel? You would have to jump out, attach to your truck, etc. Glad you're ok Nomi. A guardian angel was with you and got you up.
@gingerandspice1209 Only from the perspective that you would not need to leave the RV and go outside to a truck or something, if you owned a fifth wheel, etc.
I just came across your videos last night and I have been watching them all day but this one in particular I feel so much for you because that was your life that was in danger. But I'm so grateful that you thought that it was the Lord that spared you and he will always keep his hand over your life. Praise God that you're okay and that you're safe
Your story had my heart racing & pounding with overflowing tears of gratitude to your creator for guiding & protecting you while you quickly went into survival mode & for your ability & courage to debrief yourself & still be standing & safe…. you were able to respond quickly & remove yourself from harm.
So glad you acted on your intuition, on the Holy Spirit calling and that you are safe and well! Blessings, protection and peace to you forever, Nomi. 🙏
At 10:14 in your story, I'm literally sitting on the edge of my seat. I will put you on my prayer list for your safety. Your van is beautiful, btw. Thank God you're safe. ❤🙏🏻

I noticed that when you got in to the van after washing the van, you sat in your seat, closed the door and started talking to the camera. Lock your door as soon as you get in, no matter where you are!
Agreed. ...that's a good habit
Alot do that not locking their windows and doors till its too late and it's not safe being by your self camping
For me, this was 1 of the most memorable parts of the video. 🤦🏽♀️
Do you have any protection?
Yes yes yes. I do this in my everyday life no matter where I am going coming from whatever whatever. I never trust my surroundings
He knew you were in there. I had a guy standing at the light, staring daggers at me and my instinct told me to lock the door. He acted like he was crossing the street, then quickly diverted and grabbed my door handle. He was a white male with dead eyes. Once he failed, his whole posture immediately changed into a "poor beggar looking for pocket change." I drove off when the light changed. From that day on, my doors are locked before the door closes! So glad you are ok!!!
I agree, my feeling is that he did in fact know that she was in there.
Same here! Always keep those doors locked. Never break that pattern. Good to have pepper spray on hand.
You needed that to lock your doors?...lol
Right On😮
Horrifying
That gut feeling was your guardian angels for sure.
Having worked in the security and investigation field for the last 20 years, I think you really came close…..That guy probably watched you for a long time. He believed you were alone and therefore vulnerable. Stay safe young lady ❤
Opposite of what Nomi's vid concluded, though. She said she did not think the suspect knew she (or anyone) was inside Van.
Good Pont. It was scouting her out. I wish she would have pulled a trigger and then drove off.
😳
I don’t think he was watching her. He sounded like an opportunist and thought he’d go for it. If he would have been watching her he’d know she was in there.
@@Kat-n-Ollie The original commenter's point was that this intruder could see she was alone after watching her. Either way, scary!
I am glad you are safe. As a solo female vanlifer I would get a dog. They alert you to noises even before anyone gets close to your rig.
That’s right they do ! I always travel with my dog, and mace, knives along with other items. Be ready to use them, that’s the secret .
She doesn't have to get a huge dog, just one that can alert her to danger. My chihuahua can hear a whisper 2 miles away. She's the watchdog for our house at night. It's up to her to maintain the cleanliness of the dog. The Lord protected you that day. That dude was a demon.
@@lenniewatson687
Facts 😐
Safety or dog
I think a little dog would be wonderful for her ..dogs are good for you
A Chihuahua will definitely let you know.
It's great to hear someone give God credit!
My uncle was a deputy sheriff. He said the best thing you can do is hit the panic alarm on your key fob. I sleep with my keys by my bed if I hear anything at night.

Smart!
❤ nice of u
What will it do on an empty parking lot?
That’s what I thought she was looking for her keys for at first …. So glad she is ok 👍🏽

🇨🇦 We use bear spray up here.😏
Isn't she ex-military? If she is I would wager that she is very proficient in using handguns.
She carries protection from man and animal. I don't know what type of protection but she's a combat veteran so she definitely knows how to protect herself.
I love guns, but if you're a nomadic traveler, make sure you are aware of ALL local laws.
Bear spray is better.
Miss Nomad, please don’t beat yourself up. You made it through without being hurt or losing anything. You learned from it. It’s normal to feel upset and scared in this situation. We sometimes get distracted. You’ve already decided to park near other people and always check to ensure you’ve locked the doors. Rest well and be safe. ❤
You looked the happiest I've seen while playing in the waves. Keep finding your joy. And yes the Holy Spirit was speaking to you AND you listened.
Yes she did!❤

Oh goodness Nomi, please be careful honey. I survived a home invasion 4 years ago in my apartment and while I have come a long way I still have PTSD and to see a counselor once a month. A break-in is horrible. Praying for your continued safety and peace of mind. 🙏😌✨💜
🙏🏽
Big hug and all the best! ⭐️
I'm Glad you are ok now !!!! do you have better locks now or a new place?
I am so sorry you went through that...major nightmare. God bless you.
OH MY GOODNESS HOW SCARY 😨 😳 THANK GOD YOU'RE OK AMEN 🙏
Praise the Lord, that he spoke so loud in your head that got you up
Always say a little safety prayer❤ .
I’m so glad you listened. That’s Gods protection You were protected and guided. 🙏🏻☺️ Take care
Maybe this needed to happen to get you to never forget to lock the van again, and also telling you to not park in completely empty parking lots anymore! So so happy you are okay!!
"What ifs" will eat away your peace of mind. You learned valuable lessons God intended to teach. Let go of what could have happened. Focus on what DID & DIDN'T happen. Thank you, God for protecting, inspring & manifesting an opportunity to learn. It is precious how you give to God the glory in this. Blessings 🙏 are prayed your way. ♥️
So glad you trusted your instinct and got up!! Try to focus on all that you fid right… trusted your gut, immediately looked at the light and locked the doors. So many might not have had the swiftness of action to not continue trying to find the key. Your strategy of jumping in the seat and putting in the key was excellent too. You did so many things soooo right!!! Love your videos and so glad you sre safe and sharing this experience will help so many others!!
That dude's adrenaline was probably going knowing he was fixing to break into your vehicle. That's probably why he didn't hear you hit that lock. Damn girl, that is mega scary! Even knowing it was a reenactment made my heart race just watching it! So happy you're safe! Somebody up there was watching after you that day! Thank you Lord!
Get a gun
@@ronnieburnett2584 You wouldn't catch me traveling without one!
@@ronnieburnett2584Yeah, but I think she would have to be licensed in every state she goes to.
My gracious. So thankful for God and His faithfulness to his children.
@@Mimi-iq4llI always take my friend with me. She is a 9mm pistol. I call her Millie. I don’t ride without her.
Thank God for alerting you! I'm so glad you're safe!
I thank God you are safe and was happy to hear you gave God the praise for your quick thinking. Just found you in my scrolling today and enjoying watching you, your travels and all the yummy foods you eat!
The Lord was protecting you. God Bless.
I think he knew you were there, but his intentions were more than stealing something of value. He simply didn't give a F. Some people are just evil and want to harm others for their twisted urges. Be safe out there. Blessings to you. 🪷
Glad that you are safe. Criminals are 100% to blame for what they do.
I commend you on working well under pressure. Hitting that interior locked was genious.
I have no doubt the Holy Spirit was with you, alerting you and protecting you. Powerful lesson learned. And most importantly, you are safe. ❤😊🙏
I'm so glad that you clarified because I was about to be sooo mad at you if you knew everything was unlocked!!! Glad your safe. Do not be discouraged. ❤
God’s got you! ❤ I’m so glad I found your channel!
I'm so grateful that your gut instinct kicked in when you heard the voice of God. I was just saying to myself that whenever I take my dog out for a walk to always lock my apartment doors. This has put me on alert. Stay safe and know that you are encamped about with prayers of your fam community. You are loved!
So glad that attempted break in failed and you are safe!❤❤🙏🏾
Amen🙏🏼
🙏🙏🙏
Give yourself grace. You are in Gods protection. Thanks for giving me your first bite of food, your cooking always looks so good.
Amen,
Your testimony is beautiful! I love the way you put God first
Hello Nomi, let just say that a women’s gut feeling never fails. God woke you up just in time and even though you couldn’t find the keys God protected you until you took off. Your a brave woman maybe you didn’t realize if you did or did not lock the doors but he didn’t let you fall victim. I’m so happy you took time to have a little fun in between the waves 🌊 Salted ocean water is good for the soul. Many many blessings on your journey through life. Don’t beat yourself up just be extra cautious. You take care of your stay cool safe and healthy 😊
Totally God woke her up to let her know there was danger lurking. So glad she is safe
Don’t never park nowhere by yourself it’s to dangerous
So glad you locked the door in time. Glad you are safe.
Very good information for everyone to hear. You just earned yourself a like and a follow! ❤
Please dont be so hard on yourself. Its easy to become comfortable and complacent when people get into a routine. It is a valuable lesson and I'm so happy that you listened to your gut!
I am in the logistics industry and we always send out company wide warnings about theft and break ins over holiday weekends. There is the assumption that the “cargo” is left unattended. Your van gives the impression that there is something inside worth stealing.
An angel was watching over you. Luckily you and your van are safe and you will never break character again. Intuition and faith are powerful
Be safe out there. ❤
😇😍🙏
She should make up a fictitious company logo to put on the vehicle; something like "We buy junk!" LOL Maybe that would deter break-ins! LOL
I just rewatched this. All I want to say is, you just help me regain my faith. I've just been waiting for evidence and you just provided it. Thank you.
it seems like your dad is ALWAYS protecting you! ❤ be at peace 🤍
God is ever faithful, Nomi! Thankfully, you learned a lot from the scary incident. I always say, “When you know better, you do better.” I’m so grateful that you had your wits about you and acted quickly to avoid harm. I hope you won’t dwell on what could have happened; just remember to do better going forward! Love your videos and praying for your safety ❤️
Amen 🙏
AMEN
OMG! My stomach dropped when you were telling your experience about the attempted break in! Stay safe.
RIGHT!! I felt like I was watching the beginning of a HORROR movie!! So happy she is safe.
1st time viewer. Excellent video! And your meal is amazing. Thankful for God’s protection and that you are safe. Appreciate the info. New sub
So glad I came across your channel, m yes God is always with us!! Glad you're safe!! ❤ I admire you
Hey Nomi,
I thank God that you were not harmed during this attempted break-in. And you've already said it; God woke you up and put you on alert and gave you the wisdom to know that your routine is everything to your safety and preparedness.
❤🐢🙏🏾 I pray for your safety and loved watching your joy at the beach.
Naomi, every moment cannot be predicted. Gut instincts are always clues to awaken our inner sensitivity. We are living in “the last days” 2Timothy2:1-5. This country in particular,is rife w/inequities and political corruption. There are people who should be housed in monitored quarters and unfortunately are being left unattended. You and many others are being subjected to irrational behavior due to these existing elements. Continue to put your trust in whom it belongs and be mindful in your behavior with yourself and your property.😊
@@939nchs You are speaking truth!
oh, Nomi, I'm so sorry for what happened. I can tell you're really shaken. Please try to not beat yourself up too much. I'm glad to see that you're treating it as a lesson to learn from. All thanks to God for keeping you safe from something that could've been much worse. Hugs.
Kudos to you for reacting so fast... I'm actually impressed... your reaction in such a tense moment says alot... your alertness and reaction was just tops... well done!... you need to be proud of yourself....
WOW! You have great instincts! So glad you are ok! Your Guardian Angel is with you… ❤
Thank God you are ok. Yes, please never park in isolated places. There are predators just waiting for the chance to target your property and/or you. As the old saying goes, there is safety in numbers.
No more, “what if” you followed your gut! Now, moving forward you have to stay focus! Also, you’re the 4th female vanlife person who had an attempt intruder. I pray for all of the female van lifers! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 This a cruel world! Blessings
You have described your situation, your reaction, your feelings so well. Thank you for sharing. It is a lesson for us all!
OMG! I’m so sorry! That would’ve been so scary! I’m glad that you’re ok, shaken of course, but ok. God be with you and keep you safe! ❤
There’s a wonderful book called “The Gift of Fear” it documents how humans are the only species on the planet that does not automatically trust their instincts and react immediately. As your doing this journey solo it would be a great read for you. God has you in his hand but sadly there are still those who do not know him and will gladly cause you harm without hesitation. Stay safe, be blessed and God Speed on this journey you have chosen❤️🙏
God keep your hands upon her. May she come to know you as Saviour, Lord and Shield.
I think the door locks did that.
I am glad you are okay. Safe travels!😊
Oh Nomi!! I’m so sorry this happened to you!! We all let our guard down sometimes!! Don’t be too hard on yourself… lesson learned👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thank you for sharing!🤗
Nomi, you've almost become like a virtual daughter to me, and I'm so glad that God nudged you to get up, and that you obeyed that nudge. I'm also glad you acknowledge that it was God, indeed. I think you're going in the right direction by deciding to eventually invest in property for a homebase because it's time like these where you could use it to regroup and recover. Thank God you're okay!
So happy for you ! It's crazy out here ...sending loads of good energy ❤
nothing more relaxing than the wonderful waves of the ocean and the breeze!!!!!
Hey Nomi, I am so glad that God woke you up and you had time to secure your vehicle. Be careful to not park in places where there is no other vehicles. Safety first.
Nomi, without a doubt GOD GOT YOU UP!!!! I am full of goosebumps!!! How freakin scary!! I'm shaken up for you. God was looking out for you. Forgive yourself and now you know better. You will NEVER make that mistake again. Thank god you're safe. That man was full of crazy. You made all the right moves because God was with you. -Lety from Chicago
So true.🙏🏼
Thank god you did some quick thinking God was watching over you wow I haven’t been watching your channel for a while and to scroll through and this was the first video that popped up sending prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes, God had and has your back! So glad you are safe. Your experience, as horrific as it was may help someone else. Blessings!
That gut feeling is amazing isn't it? And I'll boldly say especially for us women who have it ingrained in us since we're little to hear when it's screaming at us that something isn't right. So, yours is working great and you're only human and I can totally see myself forgetting to lock some doors here and there too. Scary though and so glad you're ok!🙏
Most definitely!
Sorry about such an harrowing experience. I know ur a Vet and hopefully carry ur 2nd amendment with you. Protection prayers continue with u. Thank u for ur service.
You have a guardian angel 🤍 glad you’re safe 🙏🏽
Glad you are sharing your story. It may save someone else ❤. Be happy YOU survived . God always has you.❤
Thank God you're alright! Quit beating yourself up focus on the positive. This situation will help you to be more alert and look how many viewers you are helping by sharing this (I'm one). Take care and stay safe!
Your guardian angel prompted you. I feel like it ended up being a huge learning experience for you. The fact that he walked all the way around your van instead of trying to open the first doors he came to instead of your driver’s door., too. 🙀 God definitely was protecting you. Situational awareness it key! So glad you are safe! 🙏🏻😊
He walked around to the driver's side so he could drive away 😅
@@SuperCaliforniaBarbi most thieves are opportunistic and will try whatever entrance they come to first. If he wanted to just drive off he could have walked directly to the door as he approached the van.
I’m sorry you had this scary experience, but I’m glad I saw this video. It’s made me realize I need to be more mindful! Stay safe out there!
You’re amazing, I just started watching your videos and subscribed.
I am so grateful for your quick action. God definitely woke you up at the exact moment to lock the Van. Thank God that you are ok. That was very scary. God is always with us. 🙏🤗💖
Nomi,
I was shocked to see the incident where someone attempted to break into your van in the middle of a parking lot. I can't imagine how unsettling that must have been for you. I just wanted to send you some love and let you know that I'm thinking of you during this time.
Your videos have been a source of inspiration and entertainment for me, and I admire your adventurous spirit in living in your van. As a pastor, I want you to know that I've included you in my prayers, asking for your safety and well-being during your travels.
Please stay safe, and never hesitate to reach out to your community if you ever need support or assistance. We've got your back!
Take care of yourself, and I hope you continue to share your incredible journey with us. Sending positive vibes, virtual hugs, and prayers your way.
Goodness you had me at the edge of my seat with this one. Thank God you're okay tho, and please remember to lock up okay🙏
I am new to your channel. I just subbed. I am watching my second video. Girl, you got me scared. I don't know you, but I am going to say a prayer for you. I am doing it now.
What happened to you, is probably the MAIN reason why I don't venture out more. But I have total respect for you. Stay safe! ❤
Philly: You should check into alarm system for vans like they do cars that headlight flash/horn blaring loudly/hubcaps/steering wheel etc lock while blurring. You should check into that.
This is why I love motored RVs compared to fifth wheels, etc. Can you imagine having this happen in a fifth wheel? You would have to jump out, attach to your truck, etc. Glad you're ok Nomi. A guardian angel was with you and got you up.
So an RV you think would be better, more safe?
@gingerandspice1209 Only from the perspective that you would not need to leave the RV and go outside to a truck or something, if you owned a fifth wheel, etc.
I just came across your videos last night and I have been watching them all day but this one in particular I feel so much for you because that was your life that was in danger. But I'm so grateful that you thought that it was the Lord that spared you and he will always keep his hand over your life. Praise God that you're okay and that you're safe
So glad you’re ok. Your spidey sense was spideying! That lake is my fave in the world. Born and raised ‘gander here.
Your story had my heart racing & pounding with overflowing
tears of gratitude to your creator for guiding & protecting you while you quickly went into survival mode & for your ability & courage to debrief yourself & still be standing & safe…. you were able to respond quickly & remove yourself from harm.
So glad you acted on your intuition, on the Holy Spirit calling and that you are safe and well! Blessings, protection and peace to you forever, Nomi. 🙏
I was freaking out for you. Glad you are okay! Just found your channel and subbed :-)
Nomadic Introvert, I am so glad you prevailed 🕊 What a scary sitch! I subscribed to support you & will pray for your continued safety 🤗
At 10:14 in your story, I'm literally sitting on the edge of my seat. I will put you on my prayer list for your safety. Your van is beautiful, btw. Thank God you're safe. ❤🙏🏻
Joo I was so scared too,am thankful to the Almighty
