My Best-friend called me early in the morning before my parents and I were awake. She was crying on the phone and I could barely understand what she just said. All I know is that I heard her well enough to turn on the news. I woke my parents up saying that someone just bombed the Pentagon. As they came out and we were watching the news, we saw the second plane crash into the other tower. We thought it was just a replay of the first plane until we realized both buildings were on fire. We saw the collapse of both buildings. It was unbelievable. All we could do was pray. I went to work that morning ready to be used however God desired for me be used, knowing that none of my co-workers have the hope in Jesus that I know. Being a born-again christian I did not stress over any other attacks, but I still to this day grieve over what happened. I grieve over the loss so many people have experianced not just in New York, but at the Pentagon and all those who had loved ones on the planes. I pray for those who have lost loved ones in this devistation. I can't even imagine how they must feel. I pray that I will truly NEVER FORGET! God Bless you and know that He keeps you forever in His warm embrace!
