911DA Story: Story
As I look back and remember 9/11 what comes to my mind the most is looking at my 2 month old son and being so frightened for his future. What had happened to the world I knew, the safety I felt, the security of being an AMERICAN?!
That morning I had been busy playing with my son and a little girl I babysat for. I had turned on the TV to put a movie in for her and I saw a picture of a skyscraper on fire but thought nothing of it after all nothing that horrible could ever happen in our country. Five minutes later my husband came home and asked if I had heard what had happened. I said I had seen something on The Today Show but what was it about when he told me I think I was in shock because I really didn't feel anything. I took Abby outside and we blew bubbles and laughed and played. A little while leater her dad came and took her so i could go over to the chapel on campus with my husband. I can remember walking over to chapel and looking up at the gorgeous blue sky and the eerieness of the silence. We live 10 minutes from TF green airport. I prayed with all my heart that day. Not just for our country but for OUR world. I praised the Lord for the freedom I have in Him. I praised Him for the peace I have in HIM. The world seemed to be falling apart around us and yet when you looked and saw the unity in our nation, the love in our people you saw Him.
