CNN inside Syria: Nobody imagined it would turn into this
[Michelle’s Thoughts] I just heard about this terrible earthquake in Syria. I always wonder if things like this will cause people to turn to God. I know that it is harsh to think that s loving God would permit a deadly event like this, however, because He is loving, He allows it to happen so that He can draw people to Himself.

Editor’s note: CNN’s Ben Wedeman and crew are some of the few international reporters in Syria, whose government has been restricting access of foreign journalists and refusing many of them entry. Wedeman, who used to live in Aleppo, has spent time over the past two weeks in the city of more than 2 million people where rebels and government forces are fighting. Below is an edited account of what Wedeman saw in Aleppo. Read more from CNN inside Syria.
What we saw during our trips in Aleppo were not images of the city I knew: The shelling, the snipers, the destruction. I never imagined this city would be standing in the middle of warfare. Nobody imagined it would turn into this.
Some parts of Aleppo are complete battle zones. Shells and rubble litter the streets. Cars are blown to pieces.
This beautiful city is where we raised my daughter for her first years from 1990 to 1993. When I was at work my wife went everywhere shopping with my daughter and going to markets.
As we drove quite close to the neighborhood where I used to live, one in government control, I took a quick look and noticed it looked mostly the same. I quickly refocused, concerned for our safety. A government checkpoint was coming up on the right.
