Everything changed that very moment.
I was living the worst nightmare I could have ever imagined.
Paralyzed with fear, I realized this was no accident.
I knew our country was under attack.
Minutes seemed like hours as we stood in front of the television.
Not even thirty minutes after the South tower collapsed, I watched in disbelief as the North tower crashed to the ground, disappearing into a pile of dust.
In an instant it was gone.
But I knew that the God I serve was bigger than what I could see.
Bigger than my circumstances.
A God of miracles.
I knew He could bring my husband home.
But would He? I would soon realize that sometimes our stories don't end the way we think they should.
Sometimes God has a different plan for our lives.
