My heart is full and broken. I know it's a little dramatic for me to feel this way, but today I do. I am watching what is going on in Japan, Hawaii and the West coast right now and I feel like I know everyone of those people. Every person that has died or is suffering has a a family, a life and dreams. It breaks my heart. The terror of all those that survived must be unbearable right now. I can't even imagine the pain and sadness that is being experienced. I know I shouldn't wish this, but I wish I was there to help. I wish I could do something. I feel like a complete hypocrite. I say that I feel bad, I say that I wish I could help, but I just sit here in class thinking about my next homework assignment. I know that all I can do is pray for them, but I wish I could do more. I wish that there was something I could do to lessen the pain of this cruel world in some small way.
I have no money to donate, I have nothing to give. I can't even give them my time, but what if I let this make me a better person. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for blessing me with this amazing life. I am extremely blessed. I can't save lives everyday or build a house for someone, but I can take advantage of the opportunities that I do have. I can become something better everyday because I have the chance to do so.
This still doesn't feel like enough, but I guess it's more than nothing.
Pray for all those effected by this great catastrophe.
