Ten years ago I didn't understand.
Now, I do.
Somehow it hit me more today how big of a tragedy this was for our nation. And not only our nation, but the world. The widespread effect that one day in history had on our world shocks me. As a 5th grader sitting in my classroom when I heard the news, I had no idea that ten years from that day the world would be this way. I had no idea that we'd still be at war. I had no idea what it even really meant. It's painful. It's haunting. It's terrifying. We live in a dark world. It's a reminder that we are not in control. It makes me so thankful to know someone who is. Someone who has always been there for us, even in the darkest places. Someone who will continue to be with us, no matter the situation. I am thankful.
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them: for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.
Psalm 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 56: 3-4 When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?
