Where was God on Sept. 11, 2001?


"...You planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good... easy now... nothing to fear."- Gen 50:20 The Message Bible

We live in a broken world.  A world with disease, senseless murders, & broken hearts.  
How can we possibly imagine, much less LIVE a “Kingdom Life” in this world? 
Well, the Bible tells us that when we are following the will of God, and fully surrender to Him, the Kingdom of God, even if only a glimpse, is available to us!  NOW.  Even in a broken world, where sin and evil are rampant... Where children and spouses die, and where people choose darkness over Light. 
 Do you remember what you were doing on September 11, 2001 when our freedom was attacked and many lives were lost, along with our sense of security?  Did you wonder that day where God was???  God promises that HE IS WITH US.  He promises to go before us and prepare a way for us.  EVEN if our path is right smack on a course of tragedy, disease, & heartache.  Still, God's plan's are always good.   His plans reveal His power and love for us.  EVERY TIME.  It usually takes time and a hindsight to see the big picture of His perfect Plan.  As many people mourned the tragic loss, and raged with anger for the terrorists, I was given a special gift on Sept 11, 2001.  I was blessed with a perfect blue eyed angel named Evan McKay Froning.  As I held an angel in my arms, I was keenly aware that God’s goodness WOULD NOT be overcome by evil plans. His Word promises us, time and time again that He is sovereign.  And He is GOOD.  

 " It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”-  Deut 31:8
