The devastation that has happened within the past 24 hours is unimaginable. The photos are nauseating, but real, so I can't turn my eyes away. I can't even comprehend what this means for the country there. So many children left parentless, so many families ripped apart, so many people killed. So many left without... As I pray for the people dealing with this tragedy, I feel so compelled to also thank God for everything in my life. Things like this rip a painful sense of perspective through my own reality. I have everything I've ever needed. I have wonderful people in my life, a comfortable place to lay my head tonight, a hot shower whenever I want it. I have more than I need. I am safe, I am healthy, I am loved. I am so grateful for the things, people, and experiences that have built my life.
