here i am, there they are..{pray for japan}

Chinese Earthquake


here i am, sitting cozily at the laptop upon our large green sofa.

there she is, lost in a street of rubble, crying and alone without her mother.

here i am, watching the rain splatter on the window panes, feeling calm and cozy within our heated home.

there he is, struggling in the water, desperate for help as a lone survivor.

here i am, frustrated at the low internet connection.

there they are, standing in a forlorn circle around the bodies of their family.

how spoiled i am.

how desperate they are

for help in this time,

and

for God.

::pray for japan. pray for this world.::

  3. Wonderful and challenging post! Sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in our own little worlds that we forget that there are people who are hurting. People who need God's love. Thank you for the reminder to keep those in Japan in our prayers!

    I just found your blog...I've enjoyed looking around!

    In Christ,
    Rebekah

  6. How true. When things like this happen we see how richly blessed we are. I was watching videos of the tsunami last night. How terribly aweful to see. I really like how you wrote this post, actually, I like all your posts!

    Thanks,
