I had gone to work as usual and had't a clue as to what was comming. It was not as busy as usual, the hussle and bussle wasn't there and I went to see where everyone was. I found them watching the television and thinking to my self "ok, this is new" and when i saw the burning buildings(on the tv) and heard people on the phone in the office sounding frantic I knew this was real. What I was looking at wasn't a joke or a movie you would expect hollywood to come up with like so many other disaster movies. This was real and then the unthinkable happened and we watched the first building colaps....All we could do was just stare with our mouths open, it was so hard to comprehend that we just sat there trying to let it sink in. Then you couldn't get on line because traffic was so congested and the phones were busy as could be especially trying to reach new york you couldn't get through without a miricle. I felt so unsafe and watched the sky for weeks after, never knowing what was next. I remember my hubby called me and said lets pray, lets pray for our nation and it's leaders for wisdom and lets pray for those people and families. God bless all of those who lost or survived, tragedy was ment to harm and seperate but keep your faith in God. Don't let your hearts grow bitter. We should remember to pray for those who have struck against us as well because imagine the difference if they came to know Christ....WOW. Love to all in Christ.
