New England experienced an earthquake last night and it's crazy how my gut always goes to my experience in Haiti... and nothing compares... this quake there was only a 4.0 magnitude, it was shallow to the ground only 4 miles... but still people talk about it like it was a fun little excitement for their evening, no damage or deaths, just a fun little hiccup in their day...one is quoted she can mark something off her bucket list....

Yet me for i think, really...really, if only Haitians could say the same about their experience...3 years later still living in tents, still adjusting to not having a leg or an arm, still missing their mother who died.... still walking by the collapsed building where her husbands body was never recovered...
that is what i think about every time i hear of an earthquake somewhere.... and that it was i always compared it to... i am thankful that it was only a 4.0, and i realize it is a big deal any time it happens, but my heart always goes to Haiti....
please join with me and continue to pray for them as you hear news of earthquakes or as the Lord puts Haiti on your heart...because this nation needs our prayers... fear is still residing in the hearts of many people there from this tragic event, that devastated their nation...pray for peace and restoration...
and forgive me for having a lack of sympathy for those in New England... help me to instead be thankful and pray for all those that struggle with fear from experiencing the ground shake beneath you....
thanks for reading...have a blessed day....
