It is a sad time in our town now

It is a sad time in Minneapolis right now. I first off want to ask you to take second and pray for the families that have been lost and the people that are still missing...... In the mist of all this thought we were able to see how the Lord does take care of His children once again. One of our class mates was suppose to be in that area at that time. She would have been handing to help with her church that was downtown area but she decided yesterday afternoon that she was not going to go that day. The Lord protected her. Thank you Lord. We are going to be trying to go downtown to just sit and talk with people to that need someone to listen to them. If at that time the Lord quickens their heart we will share His good word but we want to be there first off to just love them in their time of hurt. He will make His presence know during this time. He is the great comforter. Please be praying for the driving situations this is one of the busiest roads for alot of people. We traveled this road often. When I was walking home from Youth Group last night before I heard about what happened outside had such a eerie feeling. It was like a brownish yellow color outside. I can't imagine how it was and still is for the people that are around the site. I pray that during this time that the Christians would be willing to open their hearts and arms for their fellow neighbors. In Mathew 22:37 Jesus tells us to love Him first and then love our neighbors as ourselves(shortened version :) ) We are not suppose to wait for something like this to happen before we do this. This should be in our everyday life. Thanks for all the people that called to make sure we were ok. We appreciate you. We feel very loved!
