there was an earthquake in japan. my japan. ok not really mine but close enough. lol. i feel a deep attachment to japan, especially since i would say my culture is a good 30% japanese. i look at these pictures on cnn, and i see kids crying, waters engulfing acres of farm lands, people in pain, and honestly, it breaks my heart. the fact that i have grown so accustomed and comfortable with the nation and it's people makes it hurt even more. i see all these familiar city names and familiar locations that i grew up with and it reminds me of my time in japan. we got plenty of little earthquakes that shook the house. an occasional broken dish and that was about it. but to think an earthquake of that enormous magnitude hit right near my home is shocking and it scares me. i am glad that God brought me out before it happened, but then my heart reaches out to them. God...huh... i look at the pictures and all their pain, and i wonder... where was God in all this?
He was always there. Watching over everything. nothing happens outside his plan. nothing happens without him knowing. His way is perfect.
its just hard to see his ultimate plan at times. but then how can i expect to understand God. how can i define an undefinable God.... hmmm faith.
some pics from japan i took. man i miss this place... pray for japan.
