00:00God had his people where he had them, and he put them and placed them in places that he's like,
00:05I need you here.
00:07And so for me, the situation is very tragic because two children did pass.
00:15And for me, it's like, okay, they're in the house of the Lord, a place where you're supposed to feel
00:23safe.
00:24And so that in itself is very hurtful and tragic.
00:30But I love to believe that the Lord was there, God was there, and it was almost like when I've
00:39talked to other people,
00:40it's almost like this person tried to get into the church and couldn't.
00:46And it's almost like God's like, no, you're not coming in my house.
00:50You're not.
00:50You're not going to do more damage than what you probably already, what he already had did.
00:58And I try to find positives in my hurt, and I try to remember what can I be thankful for.
01:07Instead of being upset and angry, and some of those things are all the children that were transported survived, and
01:18all of them made it.
01:21But yes, I'm not discounting that, you know, we lost two children because that is heartbreaking.
01:30But the other children that I ended up helping, you know, I was able to see them at a later
01:36time.
01:36But I'm just like, wow.
01:39Like, miracles happened that day, and it's just a testimony of like, yeah, these kids survived.
01:46And every last single one of them, you know, got to go back home with their families.
01:53And I'm thankful for that.
01:56I'm thankful the guy never made it in inside the church.
02:01And I'm thankful that we made it as fast as we did and as quickly as we did.
02:07And the people were placed in the right places, were placed in the right spots at the time when this
02:12call came out.
02:16But yeah.
