Honestly, when I first heard it I got a little nervous. And the breaking news late a night didn't help much either. However, As I saw the crowds gathering and the people rejoicing I had mixed emotions. I can imagine the adrenaline that they were feeding from, and the anger regarding 911 and the Pentagon tragedies. That along with the casualties of war sends one into a ride on an emotional rollercoaster. While we don't normally rejoice in someone's murder, this particular one seemed justified. I would even go so far as to deem it bittersweet, as this man has a family too. As always, we continue to allow God to fill in the blanks and address the uncertainties that we face in this life. My sincere prayers and respect are extended to President Obama and especially to the military men and women who face situations that are unmentionable and still take pride in what they do. I continue to pray for the families of those tragedies as well as the families of those military personnel lost in the struggle. And more importantly, I pray that God will continue to keep us under the shadow of His wings and that God will continue to bless America...
i was numb when i heard the news. i thought i would be elated. iam a boogie down Bx gurl and had visited the twin towers. i can not explain why i feel emotionless. maybe because mission accomplished came 10 yrs later? it does show that the USA will be relentless in its efforts to avenge itself. i will continue to uplift the president in prayer, request blessings for the military, and speak Proverbs 3:5-6 !!!!
destinlovz I feel ya on that, I couldn't really tap in to just what I was feeling, but I did feel that the families finally experience some closure and I thankful for that. I'll join you and keep the President, the military and the families in my prayer. Thank you so much for your input and keep it coming.
I can honestly say that I was in disbelief at first. I wasn't sure how true it actually was until they stated that it had been over a week and DNA testing was done to confirm that it was truly Bin Laden. My prayers will always go out to family and our troops that have lost many lives over this and that will continue to fight in war. I just feel that we all need to stay in prayer and stay focused and ask God to continue to be our shield. This was just one of those mixed emotion moments where I didn't quite know how to feel.. Peace is what we need to be focused on and not to boast but to pray, be humble and continue to believe in faith!
When I heard it I thought someone was playing a joke then when I saw news I knew it was true. I feel that Osama got what he deserve because God don't like ugly. He killed thousands of people and he did not care. I don't rejoice on someones death but I felt it was his time and when God gets tired ,he gets tired. I just pray that things change for the better not for the worst. President Obama did good and everytime they put him down God shows out.
Because I lived in New York at the time and was on my way to work on the #4 train and can remember people running on the train crying and very emotional, I felt a sense of relief… just in knowing that he will not hurt anyone else. I think experiencing the mood of the city on that day and months after gives another perspective to people rejoicing in the street. Some criticized others for their reaction but I encouraged some of them to stop for a minute and imagine if it was your brother or your sister, or your coworker. Osama has to deal with his maker and I know it's not the normal attitude of christians, but I felt a sense of relief just in knowing that he will not have an opportunity to hurt anyone else. I've also stepped up in prayer mode and pleading the blood over the United States of America.
It's relieving to know that WE know where our help comes from. When its all said and done, God has the last say. As I have stated before, I sincerely have our President, our troops, and the families that were directly affected by war and the American tragedies. Our committment to prayer will be the catalyst for change, as we continue in our faith in God. SISTUHS, I thank you for your feelings and I treasure them all! Peace and Blessings~GodsChick
