Dear Family and Friends,
I had a very dear friend question my faith in God, right after the terrorist attack on America. Her question was simply put, "Where is your God today?". She was very hurt as all Americans were, so I tried not to react defensively. Since that moment, I have prayed and grieved over the disasterous events. However, I believe I have the answer. I know where my God was the morning of September 11th, 2001. He was very busy.
First of all, He was trying to discourage anyone from taking this flight. Those four flights together, held over a thousand passengers and there was only 266 aboard. He was on four commercial flights giving terrified passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the family members who was called by a loved one of the hi-jacked planes said that the passengers were screaming in the background. On one of the flights He was giving strength to the passengers, to try and overtake the hi-jackers. He was busy trying to create obstacles for the employees at the World Trade Center. After all only around 20,000 were at the towers when the first jet hit. Since the buildings hold 50,000 workers, this was a miracle in itself. How many of the people who were employed at the WTC told the media they were late for work or they were stuck in huge traffic delays. He was holding up two 110 story buildings so that 2/3rds of the workers could get out. I was so amazed that the top of the towers didn't topple when the jets impacted. Although this is without a doubt the worst thing I have seen in my life, I can see God's miracles in every bit of it. I keep thinking of my friend and praying for her every chance I have, I can't imagine going through such a difficult time and not believing in God. Life would be hopeless.
