9/11 Where were you???

I so clearly remember that I had awoken and turned on the tv about 10 minutes before the first plane hit the World Trade Center, seeing it was like watching a movie. I could not wrap my head around the fact that this was really happening. As the days went on I remember everyone just being kinder and more patient, and seeing the American flag everywhere, too bad that that part had to end. I also will never forget the strangest feeling of standing outside and not seeing or hearing a single airplane in the skies for days.

I remember seeing a news story on a little girl on one of the planes and she reminded me so much of Grace that I cried for hours just thinking of how her mother handled those last moments with her daughter. I know God was with them then and that she is with Him now, and I pray that all of the victims of 9/11 are surrounded by God's love and that they are all at peace. Please pray for all of the loved ones that they left behind and also for all of the incredibly brave men and women who fight to keep us safe.

I will end this with my favorite quote:

Bidden or not bidden God is present

I love this quote, because it reminds me that even when I'm not asking God to be with me that he is there. Just as he is in the foxholes and tents, in the jungles and crack houses. No matter what your denomination, God is there with you.
