Japan Earthquake and Tsunami

I dont know what to say other then my thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan. Living in California we always talk about earthquakes and “the big one”, but none of us can even comprehend what the people of Japan felt and are dealing with now.

Tonight I sat in complete awe and horror as I watched a wave, that looked more like a poorly done CG animation then real life, rush through a town and destroy everything in its path. A wave that from television didn’t look threatening at all until you realized that it was over 23 feet high and moving at 500 mph. Then the realization and gravity of it all starts to hit… I am watching as lives are being taken from this earth and a town is being completely removed from the map.

I cannot even begin to try and understand what many of these people have gone through and I pray I never will. I pray for those who have survived and now have to find the strength to rebuild and move forward. I pray for those who have been separated from and are searching for their family and friends, may they be brought back to you safe and sound. Miracles are often found even in what seems like the darkest of days. I pray for those who have lost it all but more importantly have lost friends, family and those closest to their hearts. They will not be forgotten. And I pray for those who were lost. May you find peace and comfort in the arms of your Creator.
