Also, seeing this happen to Japan makes me think how much I need to appreciate each day I'm given and to really make the most of it. Please continue to pray for Japan. They really need it...

Japan 9.0M Earthquake
Hey guys, I'm sure you've heard about the huge earthquake in Japan. I used to live in Tokyo until three years ago and everything I'm seeing on the news just seems so unreal... There wasn't too much damage in Tokyo where my grandparents and all of my friends live, but they were all shaken up by the experience. It was big enough for them not be able to keep standing during the quake, so even if there wasn't much damage, it was pretty big. Plus, they've been having after shocks often, and are still having them. My dad's cousin lived where the tsunami hit and we can't get a hold of his family yet... he owned a rice field and we're suspecting his house and all of his land is now covered in water. My heart just feels soo heavy because I really cant do anything to help!!!

I can not image how hard this must be and I'm very sorry that this has happened. I hope that you get a hold of your Dad's cousin and that he and his family are alright. I think right now the best thing that can be done is find those that have been hurt from what happened and be there for them. While you got lucky with your friends and family being far enough away that there weren't hurt, I know there are many that weren't as lucky.
ReplyDeleteYeah that is so true. I cant even imagine how it would feel like to lose absolutely everything...
