...You have probably seen my picture a thousand times. Yes, that picture. .. ... I had not been targeted. I had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time...

.... Yet as I look back over a spiritual journey that has spanned more than three decades, I realize the same bombs that caused so much pain and suffering also brought me to a place of great healing. Those bombs led me to Jesus Christ... Christmas is not about the gifts we carefully wrap and place under a tree. Rather, it is about the gift of Jesus Christ, who was wrapped in human flesh and given to us by God. As the pastor spoke, I knew in my heart that something was shifting inside of me... ...No matter what type of pain or sorrow you may be experiencing, as Christmas approaches, I encourage you not to give up. Hold fast to hope. It is hope that will see you through. This peace I have found can be yours as well. I pray that it finds you this Christmas.

Whenever I see that photo tears fill my eyes and I see my own grandchildren in her place. The almost daily prophecies of civil war here in the U.S. certainly don’t make me sleep any easier either. The history of civilization is a constant reiteration of war, famine and disease and I suppose it will continue after my death. I only wish there might be a way to save my kids from the worst of it. The story of her subsequent life is comforting.

Whenever I saw that picture I would wonder what became of the girl. I just assumed she died, another casualty of war.

Very happy to know she is alive and happy.
She smiles not with her face but with her whole spirit.

A decade removed from the defining tragedy of my life, I still desperately needed peace. I had so much hatred and bitterness in my heart. Yet I was ready for love and joy. I wanted to let go of my pain. I wanted to pursue life instead of holding fast to fantasies of death. When Pastor Ho finished speaking, I stood up, stepped out into the aisle, and made my way to the front of the sanctuary to say “yes” to Jesus Christ. http://luxlibertas.com/the-salvation-of-napalm-girl/

With that type of convicted, seeking heart, a altar call salvation by faith is real, thanks be to God.
