Yesterday everything changed. My life and the lives of
others. There was a Tsunami that rampaged through my village destroying
everything in its path. I had no idea how powerful a tsunami could be until I
saw it first hand as it engulfed my house and everything else around. In times
like this I and I are sure even the unreligious call to God for why such
devastation happens. All I was thinking was “Does the Lord have no mercy?”as I
watched people run away and families
just sit and pray because they know there is no chance. I know that natural
disasters happen to shape the world and it isn’t down to anyone but you would
of thought the “all loving” God would spare his so called creation from such horror.
I prayed and prayed that minimal lives were lost but throughout the day the
number of dead just increased to over 600 people. He knows what hell disasters
like this do to people and the pain of grieving so why does he let this happen
to so many innocent people? As a Christian my faith in my God has diminished
and he has left me to pick up the pieces of my remaining life. No where do I go
from here?

A good blog post - well done. Some good reflections on faith in this situation. It would be interesting to find out more about your character later on - what happened? Did they lose their faith completely or did it gradually return?
