My thoughts and prayers have been with the victims of the horrific shootings in El Paso and Ohio all weekend. When tragedies like this happen, I can’t help but notice fear slowly try to creep into every area of my life and cripple my acts/decisions. How many of you didn’t run your errands the day after the shooting? How many parents were watching the news feeling fearful for your child’s future? How many of you went to the movies and looked around the theater to make sure there were no suspicions? I’ll be the first to admit, I did all of those things this weekend. 😞 Regardless of how strong one’s faith is, it will always be tested. Always. When fear knocks are you prepared to answer with faith? It’s easy to question, “Well if there is a God then why would he let bad things like this happen.” The short answer to that is God gave us a free will to make our own decisions. Out of His love, God gave us an “instructions manual” with the tools, told us what is right, what is wrong, what to do and what not to do, but how we choose to use or abuse it is solely up to us. He isn’t a dictator God. We aren’t puppets. So we just can’t waste time blaming God because that’s always the easiest direction to point the finger. In the midst of human tragedy, we are reminded that God is a miracle-moving God and when we call to Him He has the power to move mountains and drown our fears. He also gives us the power to ACT. Instead of talking about the changes we want to see in this world, how can each and every single one of us start acting to create that change we want to see in this world. Think about it. This goes all the way up to our government and all the way down to the small and intentional decisions we are making in our homes. In our education systems. On social media. We will stumble and we will fall, but we also have it in us to rise and to succeed. I love this quote 👉🏽 F.E.A.R has 2 meanings. Forget Everything And Run OR Face Everything And Rise. I hope this encourages anyone who is feeling shaken up ✨ Pass it on #mondaymotivation #jesusitrustinyou

Hi Sazan, just wanted to let you know I really needed to read this, thank you! Naively I never thought this could happen to my home, El Paso. I am devastated but grateful to God. Last minute plans and the grace of God potentially saved my family and I's lives. We were supposed to be there that day. But strangely, a last minute choice we decided to go the day before instead. This still doesn't take away from the hurt. So many lives were taken away, many families were hurt. We are all somehow connected here in El Paso, we all know each other and together we grieve. I've cried so much these past days after so much loss and I've experienced a different hurt. After hearing what happened in Dayton shortly after, it scared me realizing the time we were living. Reading this brought so much encouragement and gave me a new perspective to how to react to tragedy and trial. Thank you! God bless you! #elpasostrong

Oh this is beautifully said and so what I need to see this morning. I woke up feeling fear grip and really through out the whole night it felt like every scripture about fear or peace was completely removed from my brain but I just kept calling out and saying God you know. This morning I was telling my hubs how I felt fear trying to cripple me and he told me 2Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind.
Thankful for you and your account where truth is shared.

so sad 😞 but very beautifully written. I get so much anxiety after I hear such news. Didn’t wanted to even go out of house. Sunday night went for a movie but I was having anxiety and fear of someone attacking and it’s so funny if I say this but I was literally making my mind of how to escape from this place safely if something like that happens . It is crazy 😑😰

@sazan👍👍well said. The way you wrote about FEAR is incredible..
May Allah protect us all. Prayers for Ohio... people of Kashmir are going through this daily mass shooting since soo many years. None of the leader is helping them .. they all are two faced ppl. Trump or any president can never deeply feel the pain the whole family go through of a single victim.

@corinthsuarez being a mama definitely made it harder for me. If it was just me and the hubs I'd be like pshhh I survived weekly strikes. But I don't want my kid to go through living in fear. Sazan said it perfect at the end. Face everything and rise. That's all we can do. Miss you Corinth!!!

All of these mass shootings make my stomach sink, people of all ethnicities come to America to avoid terror and to live out better lives and now with all of this happening, it's become impossible for anyone to comfortably to bring their families shopping, out to a festival or even to school.
