Twice Blessed: A Journey of Hope through 9/11

Everything changed that very moment.I was living the worst nightmare I could have ever imagined. Paralyzed with fear, I realized this was no accident. I knew our country was under attack. Minutes seemed like hours as we stood in front of the television. Not even thirty minutes after the South tower collapsed, I watched in disbelief as the North tower crashed to the ground, disappearing into a pile of dust. In an instant it was gone.But I knew that the God I serve was bigger than what I could see. Bigger than my circumstances. A God of miracles. I knew He could bring my husband home. But would He? I would soon realize that sometimes our stories don’t end the way we think they should. Sometimes God has a different plan for our lives.SHELLY GENOVESE CALHOUN is a wife, a mother of two, and a former fashion model, and she has a story to tell. It is a story of God’s perfect love, hope, and sovereign hands, which guided her through the worst tragedy on American soil.
