Remembering...

This day 7 years ago! It is hard to believe that much time has passed. I remember McSweetie calling me to tell me what was going on. I had not even turned on the TV that morning b/c R and I were going on his preschool field trip. I remember getting in the car and turning on Rick and Bubba and just listening in disbelief of what was happening. We went on our hike but all we could think about was what had happened in the short time we had been away from the television. We were all glued to the TV's to see what was happening in OUR country to OUR country. Someone invading us on our own turf! And to think there are people in our world that live this daily in their lives. I cannot even imagine. To have the fear of leaving your home. To have the fear that b/c I am not wearing the proper coverings I could get punished. To have a faith in God and express my beliefs and get killed for them.

I am thankful that God has put me here. At this time. At this place. I am sitting in my home, with food, clothing, family, able to go to Bible study today and learn about my God, my Savior.... I am so blessed. It makes me realize that the little things are just that, LITTLE. I know there are many people that say why would God let that happen. But He wasn't surprised by those events that day. He was in the midst of it. He is in the midst of us. Here right now, no matter what we are going through. He longs for us to call on Him. To be TOTALLY dependant on HIM alone but that is not our nature. It's our sin nature to do things on our own. Going off half cocked both barrels blazing. We need to be still and listen. Listen to God's word. It comes in different ways but it comes and it comes daily. Sometimes it is just in the silence. May I just listen "The glory of the Lord shall be revealed;" Isaiah 40:5. May I see it daily everywhere I go!

Soli Deo Gloria!!
