The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom

i just saw this preview for the Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary Short: The Tsunami and The Cherry Blossom

http://vimeo.com/33991882

it made me burst into tears. first because of the terror and devastation that the people of Tohoku experienced, second because it reminded me of when i got to go to Tohoku and help with the relief and meet some of the survivors, and third because it made me miss Japan so much and reminded me why i want to be there so badly, so i can share God's love with the Japanese and help them rebuild their lives. it also made me cry because i still don't understand why it happened. it's impossible to answer that question. it's something i'm definitely asking God when i get to heaven.

here's actually a couple pictures i took of some cherry blossom trees in Tohoku about 1 month after the earthquake:



anyway, you should definitely watch the preview. and then the documentary. Japan still needs our prayers now more than ever.

keeping praying for Japan.

  1. I promise to continue praying for Japan and her people~ for God to heal the country and give the people the eternal hope of His love; and that He will nurture the seeds you planted in the lives you touched.
