It is amazing to me how your life can be forever changed, within a matter of seconds, and without any warning at all.
I have never been so terrified for my life as I was on April 10, 2009.. Good Friday. Taking cover from a category 3 tornado that had touched down and was making its way directly for us. As my boyfriend and I crouched down together inside of the tub, while his nephew and dog hid under a bed, we waited for the hit that was inevitably going to happen. We prayed so hard, I knew what was God's will was going to be, and in that I found comfort. I prayed that he would shield this home and this street, my prayers were answered. Derek (my boyfriend) did look outside of the window at one point swearing to me that he saw the tornado pick up and then reform again. Well, I found this video on youtube and if you watch it through you will see a point where the tornado picks up off of the ground moves over a street or two and hits again. That was our home that it passed on over. I thank God for blessing us on this day, and keep in my prayers the others who were not so lucky. We drive right on down the street and see the devistation, the homes that were leveled, the lives that are forever changed.

You never know what tomorrow holds.
