Tuesday, October 11, 2005 - My daughter....rocks my socks off!!!

My 13yo daughter put this on her blog today...it was so good I asked her if she copied from someone...she didn't -- she showed me the page in her notebook where she had written it out...all on her own....yep, I'm her teacher and one very proud Mommy!

ThE w0Rld

Many of life's problems and tragedies are what I'd like to call "Acts of God". Meaning ~ circumstances we may never understand. Things that happen ~ terrible things ~ for a reason, but we don't know that reason. The reason remains a mystery, something we may never know or understand.

*9/11/01
*Hurricane Katrina
*Hurricane Rita

^-^
These horrible disasters I've listed above are confusing and heartbreaking.

We don't know why God allowed for them to happen. We know He has a plan

in the end, but it hasn't been revealed to us yet. We don't know why so

many people died during these events. So many innocent lives lost. And for what reason?

Other problems ~ issues and tragedies ~ that happen in our own home

and life might be the direct result of consequences of our sin. But again we

may never know for sure.

Just pray. Pray for all the families who have lost lives through these horrible events. Pray for courage, strength, and endurance. Pray that no more

innocent people will die. Pray for comfort, safety, and good friends to help these people through these tough times.

Don't be angry @ God. He has a plan to help us. Of course, we don't know

what He is planning after all this sadness ~ but we know that :

GOD iS iN CONTROL!!!

NEVER doubt that - not for one second...because God cares about

e a c h & e v e r y o n e o f y o u

He lovess you and wants you to love him back! DON'T think that He doesn't

care about the people that die during these types of tradgedies, because

he does.

His heart breaks e v e r y t i m e someone dies. Every time.

So what do you believe? I believe that God has something MUCH better in

mind for ALL of us. Something special , a gift you could NEVER receive anywhere else. Nowhere else. That gift is eternal life. The people that died during Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Rita, and September 11th, 2001 don't

have a second chance ~ but you do. Will you take that chance? I have.

Some of the people that died during these events had given up their lives to Christ before they happened. They're in Heaven right now with Jesus & God.

I'm going to see them one day...are you?

But ~ only if you accept this gift.

Will you?
