NYC Blew My Mind !

This will prove how sheltered a life I live!

You all know I watch Glenn Beck and listen to Rush so I know you'll understand what I'm trying to say and maybe how my trip affected me. I have had a growing worldwide concern for people and I think it's a result from the word " Global" which we hear so often in the news recently. I pray for the people in my little "corner" of the world and for America but during yesterday's visit to NYC and seeing & talking to all different kinds of people God has opened my eyes in a small way to how he "sees" everyone in the whole world. I live in a little borough in a very quiet neighborhood. To see such a multitude was overwhelming. Very overwhelming. Some were happy and smiling, some were looking a bit curious, some poor, some even evil. I sat at a small table outside Schwarz toy store and at first all I saw was the fountains in the water but than I saw all the people....and I saw them in a way I've never experienced before. I just was so concerned that if the Rapture occured at that moment, how many of them would be caught up and how many would be left behind. At that moment I felt love for each and everyone of them. I wanted to reach out to each one and ask if they would be left behind if Jesus came at that moment.

Oh, we arrived in the city at about 9am and already there were tons of people everywhere! I think God used this trip to show me what he meant when he used the word "multitudes" in the bible, making it even more real to me. I now know what a multitude looks like, smells like, sounds like and feels like.

In the previous post I wrote that my bag was empty when I got back on the bus to go home but I felt that I was taking home so much more than anyone else on that bus. They all were looking over their precious treasures they had bought but all I could see were the faces of all the people I saw that day. EVEN THE POOR GUY THAT IS HOLDING THE GLENN BECK SIGN!! Bless his little heart! After I snapped the picture he turned and looked straight into my eyes! I wish I knew what he saw in them. I hope it was love.

The picture of me and the kids in Time Square is at the end of a very very long day and I am so tired and hurting that I look awful.

I did take time to go to Ground 0 - I know there isn't anything to see but I just needed to stand in that spot and remember all who suffered and are still suffering today.

Bus Trip NYC

I wasn't sure why I was going on this bus trip to NYC. It was some of the mothers of the cheerleader squad (that Tinsley belongs to) that went plus other individuals. Laura, Tinsley, Jake and I went and we stayed in a group with 2 other mothers and their daughters. Everyone did a lot of shopping....some of a curious nature.....but my bag was empty when we got back on the bus to go home. I think I must have taken 5 taxi rides....( none of the cash cab of course! LOL) We walked ALOT. I did try to rest as often as I could but sometimes there just wasn't a bench or chair for me to sit. I way over extended myself and am paying for it today! Pains in places I didn't know I owned!

Here are some pictures of the kids - Tinsley, Jake and other cheerleaders - Melody and Sara
