It's been almost 36 hours since the earthquake. My parents haven't heard anything from me yet. I guarantee this is all over the news. Father, please comfort them. Allow them to trust you. Allow them to turn to you in this time. I pray that all of my friends and family would turn to you in this time. Especially my mom. I know she's terrified right now. Please allow her to be comforted. Come to her in a dream or something. Let her know that I'm ok.
It rained a lot last night. Maybe you were providing drinknig water. Maybe you were purifying the stagnant waters, and allowing them to flow into the ocean. I don't know. I know that you are good. Through all of this I hold onto that. You are good. How do I tell people that when they've just lost everything? Show me. Jesus, you are my rock. Earthquakes... tsunamis... I will not be shaken as long as I stand on you. You are my strong tower. You are my Lord. Be with me now.
I pray for Morris. I pray that you would use me to show him your love. I pray that he would see you in this time. Please, allow him to see you and believe in you.
I pray for everyone in this village. I pray that you would comfort them, and that they would see you and come to know you in this time.
A helicopter just passed over the village. They're sending people to survey the damage. Maybe they'll send someone to pick up foreigners. I'm going to stay if I can, but if they force me to go, I'll come back. I want these people to know that I care for them. I want these people to know that you love them. I want these people to know that you sent me here because you love them.
Amen
