With sadness in my heart

I announce that on march 11th,Japan suffered a huge natural disaste,a 9.1 earthquake,followed by a tsunami,which sadly caused damage to a nuclear plant.Time just stopped.We sat at home for 2 days waiting for a tsunami to arrive,unsure what the future held for us.Every movement,noise made me startle.Today march 20th i can say that Sasebo has not been affected at all.Yokosuka is waiting to be voluntarly evacuated,and it is funded if it happends.I hear the street lights are off,the mall is closed,stores,shelves are empty,school might resume on tuesday.I cannot imagine the fear.It's scary enough and we are about 1000 miles away.Ever wondered what tomorrow had in store for you?Well i have.I had a hard time sleeping that night,I kissed the kids goodnight at 1 am and tossed and turned wondering if i would see them when i woke up.God is great,in the morning i couldn't stop being thankful for having them there next to me.I am totally lucky,blessed and thankful and will never take life and faith for granted again.I feel so confused,i have this immense faith in God at the moment,although i just cannot understand why he'd let this happend.I guess it's destiny...I generally freak out,if there is a tornado warning i lose my mind,strangely i am calm,or calmer than i though i ever could be.I have my documents set aside,part of my neo package ready if anything happends.May God bless and look over Japan now more than ever.
