I am Second

Today I am second. I will never be first, EVER. I am third. I can be any number but first. No matter how hard I try, I will never be first. I don't ever want to be first. One day I hope to meet the One who is first in my life. I don't know when or how but He does.

You may have heard of this line of videos on youtube called I am Second. They interview famous people to hear their testimony. At the end of every video the person says their name and then says "And I am Second".

Do you know what the phrase "I am Second" means? It means God is first and I am second. Some people may refer to the acronym JOY. Jesus, Others, Yourself. Yes that is also true but these videos have inspired me in many ways. Sujo John reminds me that I need to share the Word of God with everyone for I don't know when their last day will be or when my last day will be. If I put it off and wait they may never get to hear the amazing news.

Sujo John and his wife worked in the twin towers. Sujo worked in the north tower and his wife in the south. His story is amazing. He was just having a typical morning at work just like all of the other people in those towers on that awful day of September 11. He was doing something as casual of sending a fax out at the fax machine. Then the unthinkable happened. The plane crashed into the north tower. Him and everyone else run down stairs to get outside. His wife is 4 months pregnant. The building starts shaking. He thinks "If this tower goes down I may never get to see my wife or the baby she is carrying." Once they get down he sees bodies on the pavement of people who have jumped out of the plane and the building. Everyone had the fear of death on their face. He was trying to call her but the cell phones weren't working. He talks to people who are around to him and as they hear the other plane crash into the South Tower. He starts crying out to Jesus. He asks 15-20 people around him to do the same. After a while he trys to go find his wife. Not knowing if he would ever find her. He decides to go back to those people who he cried out to Jesus with. Only to find their bodies which were crushed by the building and debris. He hears God say to him "They made their peace to me in their dying moments and now they are resting to me." He gets out to a small shop where a woman pulls him in. She reaches for his phone to try and contact his family. Sujo started to tell her what he thought had happened to his wife. While the woman had his phone it rang. It was his wife. He answered with a lot of fear. But when he answered, it was his wife. She had been running late and didn't make it to work when the buildings were hit.

This is basically his whole story but go watch the video. Watch other videos and tell me which ones are inspirational to you and why.

God Bless, Happy Thanksgiving!
