Yesterday I was extremely busy at work so I was pretty oblivious to the tragedy of what occurred in Boston until I got home around 6. I actually remember hearing K Love say a prayer for something but I was not really listening because I was thinking of a thousands things. I now realize they were praying for Boston.
My husband texted me around 4:30 to ask me if I was aware of what happened. (He knows I hate watching the news). I didn't see his text until I got home so I was even more interested to know what I had missed. I turned on the news and watched as they replayed the nightmare. 2 bombs went off at the finish line of the Boston marathon. So far last I checked 3 people were killed, a number of people in serious condition. I believe the numbed of people injured is over 130 now. Among the 3 people killed was a 8 year old. It really breaks my heart.
It makes me so sick. Why is this happening here. I hate it. It makes me worried and afraid. I know if it's my time, it's my time, but this world is becoming so dark. This is a time more than ever to be a close and strong nation. We need Jesus. I don't know anyone personally that was in the area or hurt in this incident, but it affects us all. We need to remember to pray, not only for ourselves, but our country, our military, and wether you agree with him or not our president.
To whoever is responsible, your sins will be found out, and you will pay for the acts committed against all these innocent people.
To the city of Boston my heart is so heavy for you. You will be in my prayers.
I pray for peace and strength. Know that the rest of the country stands behind you and we will get through this.
XOXO
