9-11

      I have been trying to put to paper the feeling that I felt in the a.m. of the attack on the u.s.a. soil on the day of Tuesday September 11,2001. There are a few great songs out there that explains it very good and what a blessing the way they put their words to music. There has been a lot of great stories since then, some of blessings, and a lot of tragedy. My heart and prayers are still with the one's who lost a loved one to this day that the enemy came to kill, steal, and destroy. 

      So I will try to share in my words of that day. On 9.10.01 I had worked all day and was able to keep on working until 4 am. in the morning of 9.11.01. Well I got that dreadful phone call early to turn on the , as I watched in disbelieve the second plane hit, and then others. I had already been praying and my prayers grew even more, with tears rolling down my face and my heart very heavy I went to the school and got my 3 young daughters and thanked the Lord for our safety.
      For several days I was stuck in front of the tv just hoping and praying for survivors as a cold dark feeling just covered me trying to think of why someone would do such a terrible thing by killing innocent people. It's almost like the feeling of being robbed, or as a young one losing their pet and not understanding why. On what I remember the following Sunday we got word at Church that the U.S, had declared war. Praying for our soldiers safety we knew that something had to be done. But then I realized that the devil comes only to kill, steal, and destroy. So my prayers got stronger, and longer for our protection. Then I got mad at him for the damage he had done and I am still not over it. Because we have have someone who is much bigger and more powerful than the enemy. So please keep praying for safety and the blessings as we once again are going into battle. The battle might be against another country, sickness or disease, or for the return of a loved one. We need to stay suited in the armor of God. Ephesians 6: 13-18 therefore put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, in addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one, take the helmet of salvation and the word of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. And pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. with this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all of the Lord's people.

     God, family, country,  may God bless us.
