11 years later

Today is a day of prayer and remembrance for victims and victims families affected by 9/11.  I've been thinking about this tragedy quite a bit throughout today.  I remember exactly where I was when I got called to the school office to go pick my brother up from his high school and go home to my family.  That day changed our lives forever.  I can't believe it has been 11 years since such heinous terrorist attacks took place in our country.  This day serves to remind us of so many things and admist the clothing fast it has really put into perspective how little this task is in comparison to so many GREATER & BIGGER challenges that happen each day in our world.  I've made this fast the focus of my daily routine for the last week and today it's really shown me that it's not about "surviving the fast" it's about embracing this moment and opening my eyes and ears up to what God has called me to do during this short time on Earth. 

John 16:33

I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace.  In the world you have trouble and suffering, but have courage-- I have conquered the world.

Today I am humble towards the Lord and grateful for all the riches he has given me, my family, my friends.  Today my thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the tragedies of 9/11.
