9/11

Today I sit and think of how life changed just eight short years ago.

I remember the terror that I felt..and I remember wondering if my unborn child would live and survive in this cruel world.

I remember the mad scramble to the nearest television to watch footage of this horrible event.

I remember wanting to be as close to my family and my loved ones as possible.

I remember crying and wondering why so many innocent people had to die.

I remember grabbing my Bible and searching for a word of reassurance that all would right itself in the end.

I remember my husband and I making an emergency plan, a plan that would be put into place, should anything like this ever happen again.

I remember hearing that friends, people that I loved, were being sent to fight in a war that was "against terrorism".

But most of all, I remember that through all of this, America stood.

And I am proud to be an American.

I am proud that I can say I live in the greatest country that has ever been.

I am proud that my children are free Americans.

I am thankful.

I am thankful for the protection of God over this nation.

I am thankful for the protection of God over my family.

I am thankful for the peace that God has given us...I am thankful for the peace that God has promised us.

I am thankful that I live in the land of the free, where I can worship as I please, and where I have little fear of persecution for my beliefs.

And so, today, on the 8th anniversary of 9/11, I remember those who lost their lives and loved ones, I stand, proud to be an American, and I kneel, humbly thankful to my God for His continued protection and guidance of this great nation.

My Favorite Photograph

I took the girls to Clix Photography here in Canton a few weeks ago. The photos turned out so beautifully! I am never disappointed in the quality that Clix produces.

This is my all-time favorite photo of my girls. So beautiful. I'm ever thankful for the gift of my children, and I am ever humbled for the responsibility of raising them up in a moral, Christian home.

I am proud to be their Momma.

Tyler - 6 Months

Here is the latest picture of Tyler. Isn't he just the sweetest thing? I love him to pieces! He has learned to sit up, and is starting to scoot a little bit on his belly. Its so wonderful to watch him learn and grow.

Nwannem nuwye

This is my dear, dear friend, Delight. She is from Nigeria, and the sister of my heart. She and her husband starting coming to our church almost three years ago, and I have grown so attached to her.
Have you ever met someone that just "got" you? Delight "gets" me. She understands the things that no one else understands. She is so beautiful and loving. And so full of the presence of God.

I am ever so thankful that God brought Delight into my life. She is nwannem nuwye, "my sister".
