Prayers for Japan

My heart breaks for the people of Japan. Last Friday Japan had a devastating 9.0 earthquake, with an even more devastating tsunami. The devastation is insurmountable! So many people have lost their lives, families separated, children are now orphaned. It is so sad, heartbreaking. I find myself so thankful for the little things, time with my children and my husband. This sort of tragedy really makes you sit back and appreciate ALL that God has given to you. It also helps me to think practically and be more prepared in my own home for a possible tragedy like this. We do live near an active earthquake fault, the San Andres fault, and they have talked about "The Big One" since I was a little girl. I find that I am also having to limit the news and "fear mongering" by the media, more for myself than anyone else. No matter what God is in control and I realize that fear is not from God. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 Continue to pray for Japan, and the people who live in this devastated country, my heart breaks for them!

Blessings,
