(In Memory of 10 years)
I look up from the computer and Erik Kohl says
"An airplane just hit the world trade center"
Me: "what kind of airplane? Where at?"
Erik: " In NYC, one of the main centers. They think it was terrorists"
I shove it off and go on typing my E-mail's, not really thinking it was anything huge.
After typing my E-mail's I head to the auditorium for our daily chapel. They've set aside the whole chapel to pray for the situation. It started to become real.
Mr. Daughters: "Three plans have hit the world trade centers and the pentagon. We need to pray for our country, we need to pray for the victims."
The pray begins, people start to cry. Many people pray
"Come Lord Jesus, please come to take us home."
"God, why does this happen? We ask you why. Thank you God, that you are in control, and you KNOW WHY"
"Pray for our president...He needs your help, dear God."
"Lord, protect our land. Thank you for giving us a free country."
As we prayed tears began to fall. People started to pray for family and friends who might be in that area. People started to wonder. People asked God "why?" Everyone knew God knew why, but nobody knew why.
As we were praying a plan landed in PA that was as people assume, about ready to hit camp david or the capital. God allowed less people to die by it landing in PA. Thank you Jesus. God knows everything.
Oct. 7th, 2001 America hit Afghanastanl We hit them to stop terrorism, not to cause death, we hit them to stop this chaos. But who knows, maybe hitting them, is just starting one big war, that could last for years. Years? How many years? Nobody knows, only God knows, only God knows what's in store...Thank you Jesus for protecting us.
God is sovereign, don't forget that. Don't be scared, just pray, don't ask why, just pray.
