Love sees us all the same. Jesus sees why He had to come, I hope you do too...
Nady,
who is a dear friend of mine, now and for all eternity, shared a story
with me that inspired me to write this to all who think, that just
because you don't have a title, or a major career, or drive a fancy car
and have alot of money, that you don't matter as much as them, you are
so wrong. We are all bankrupt, and nothing without Jesus. It just amazes
me, what it takes for us to notice what it is we all really need, and
it usually takes some kind of tragedy for some of us to look up. The
ones with titles, nice cars, and more money than probably some of us
will ever see, were all running for somewhere safe, just like everyone
else. No car to get into, no money to take with them, not even knowing
what the end was going to be for them.
Look
up now, before it's too late, because it's not the money, it's not the
title, it's not your career, it's not how good a person you are. At the
end, everyone will see it's always been about Jesus. We all have a story, here's Nady's...
Hey there Kimmy,
Hope all is well and you and the family are doing OK... I was talking to Denise yesterday about my 9/11 experience, how I had to evacuate from the building that I worked in and got practically all covered in debris when the second tower fell. At that moment, we had no idea what had happened, we knew we left the job site because of the smoke that rushed past our window but we were not aware that the first tower had even fallen...we just knew that staying put was not an option and made our way down the 7 flights of stairs (packed with everyone else) and try to make it out...When we opened the back doors it looked like snow in September, the streets were white powdered covered and people were just running in all directions...I froze, I had no idea where to go or what to do...My coworker Jimmy Cimento with his bible under one arm, grabbed my arm and said come on, I will walk with you, you don't look too oriented...he was my guardian angel...He helped me, when the second tower fell we were almost by the Fulton Fish market, we saw people run and scream but he held on to me tight and we stopped for a second to figure out what was going on...At that point the smoke cloud had reached us and debris was everywhere..One woman just screamed others fell down crying, I was in total shock, WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING...At that moment the workers at the Fulton Fish market brought out hoses for people to hose their faces and put out cups of water for people to take a drink...As we rinsed our faces off, a woman walked up to Jimmy and touched his bible and said "please I beg you pray for my husband, he works at the world trade center and I don't know if hes OK"...Jimmy stopped and said "of course lets all take a second to pray"...I was amazed, we prayed, I felt calm amongst the chaos but I knew that with Jimmy I would be OK, he kept my faith strong...as we kept on walking, another man in a suit and brief case walked up to us and asked him "Are you a man of God?" Jimmy said "YES" and the man asked him to pray for the lives of everyone, for we need Godly people right now...Once again we stopped and prayed...As we kept walking we saw the president of our company walking amongst everyone else and at that moment Jimmy turned to me and said "You see that Nady, NO ONE HAS A TITLE WHEN TRAGEDY STRIKES, when the day comes to meet our maker we will all be the same, titles, money all gone, just US, the way we came in is the way we will go out, BY HIS WILL"...Years later I think of those words every single time someone tries to pull authority or tank on me...We are all children of God and at the end of the day he sees us as his children not our work/ career titles.
With all this said: EVERY WHERE I GO, GOD PUTS A GUARDIAN ANGEL IN MY PATH...I HAD JIMMY WHEN I WORKED ON WALL STREET, I MOVED TO FLORIDA AND FOUND YOU, I MOVE BACK TO NEW YORK AND FIND DENISE...THANK YOU LORD FOR BLESSING ME WITH GUARDIAN ANGELS THAT STEER ME IN TEH RIGHT DIRECTION, KEEP ME STRONG IN MY FAITH AND DO NOT LOOK AT MY TITLE BUT AT THE FACT THAT I AM LIKE THEM, A CHILD OF THE GOD!
I LOVE YOU KIMBERLY ANN :_) (tears of joy)
