Ever asked yourself, where is God when...?

          "In God we trust" has been a slogan that is used for our nation and that is printed in particular areas that at times can be very contradictory! There has always been a BIG question that everyone would love to know the answer to especially if we say "in God we trust,"and that question is "God, where are you?" Many will out of simplicity say that God is in heaven of course, but the question is about where He is in the time of tragedy or catastrophes, or even maybe during bumpy times in our personal lives.

*I would love to share this website that will perfectly answer your question to this:

God has created humanity with the ability to choose. This means that we are not forced into a relationship with Him. He allows us to reject Him and to commit other evil acts as well. He could force us to be loving. He could force us to be good. But then what kind of relationship would we have with Him? It would not be a relationship at all, but a forced, absolutely controlled obedience. Instead He gave us the human dignity of free will.
Naturally, we cry from the depths of our souls..."But God, how could You let something of this magnitude happen?"
How would we want God to act? Do we want Him to control the actions of people? In the case of dealing with a terrorist attack, what could possibly be an acceptable number of deaths for God to allow?! Would we feel better if God allowed only the murder of hundreds? Would we rather God allowed only the death of one person? Yet if God would prevent the murder of even one person, there is no longer freedom to choose. People choose to ignore God, to defy God, to go their own way and commit horrible acts against others.

The video above is an awesome and powerful song that is suitable for any tragedy, but in this time, it is dedicated to the people in Northern Japan and surrounding countries that got part of the damage that has taken place. My heart and prayers are with Japan and those that suffered from this recent tragedy.

          I hope you found time to look at or read the website that I shared with you above and really think about. God has been waiting for us to call on him, how can we ask where HE is when He has been there the entire time! Much love! If you're reading this, comment below your thoughts about the website I shared or what you think of what has been going on in Japan.

Japan has a massive earthquake!

Wow, so I have been deeply moved by receiving the news of the massive earthquake that Japan has received. They suffered a 8.9 magnitude earthquake that caused very high waves that killed hundreds of people and took away homes, cars, and other big items in the water.

This is from My Fox Houston sharing good information:

The tsunami slammed the eastern coast of Japan, sweeping away boats, cars, homes and people as widespread fires burned out of control. It's traveling at 500 mph—as fast as a jetliner—and likely won't change speed until it hits a large area of land.

There are some videos that have been recorded from the earthquakes that have taken place there in Japan as well just so that you could see the impact and devastation of it that I will post up later.

I think that this is very unbelievable and that we should keep the people of Japan primarily in prayer as well as the surrounding countries since many innocent people died. Today I seriously want to thank My Lord and Savior for life and health and protection from events as such. I pray that God brings hope, love, unity and comfort to these people that suffered this. The Bible talks about to mourn/cry with those who mourn/cry in the book of Romans 12:15-16.

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

Today as many are Thanking God its Friday, just think to yourself how fortunate we are in our everyday life. Try it at your best to know that God is BIG in even the most smallest things such as in our every day breath, when we can open/close our eyes when we wake up and that we have strength to be able to get off our bed. Remember while we may go out and about, there are other people that are devastated at a catastrophe that has just taken place and I want you to know that wherever you are and whatever you are going through, know that you are going "through it" and not staying in it and that there is nothing impossible for God if you call upon his name!
