Since I've decided to go to Haiti, I've had people question my decision, asking if it's really God's call to uproot from my comfortable life here to go to such a place. I will admit to someone who doesn't understand who God is, it does seem crazy. I owe Him my life. He has saved me and blessed me in indescribable ways. He commands us to go into all the world to share the reason for our hope. That could be right here or that could be somewhere else. The children at our church tonight put on a program called "The Tale of Three Trees". The message was that each tree had a dream of what it wanted to be. They were disappointed when it didn't work out the way they planned. They eventually realized God had a much bigger and better plan for them. Maybe our lives are not going the direction we hoped they would. God sees the big picture, and if we are willing to let Him move us, we will end up in the perfect place at the perfect time. So, if walking by faith seems crazy by the world's standards, I'm okay with that. Someone shared the lyrics of Steven Curtis Chapman's song "Something Crazy" with me and they seemed fitting for what God is showing me at this time.

He's got a Bible and a megaphone standing on the corner
And everybody's saying he's crazy
Well, does he really think anybody wants to hear
What he has to say?

He's not screaming at anybody, in fact it's as if it's a love story
That he's trying to tell them
And he knows it may look a little strange
But he just smiles and says, "That's okay
'Cause you know sometimes love makes you act that way”

And it's crazy when love gets a hold of you
And it's crazy things that love will make you do
And it's crazy but it's true, you really don't know love at all
‘Til it's making you do something crazy

I know a lady in Uganda, forty kids call her momma
And everybody thought it was crazy
She used to drive a Beemer but I've never seen her
Any happier than she is now 

I've met them all around the world, they're the boys and the girls
Filled up with the love of the Father
And they know it may look a little strange
But they just smile and say, "That's alright
‘Cause love puts everything in a different light”

Well, some might say it's a crazy thing
To believe in a man who would say He came
From Heaven down to earth because of love
But I just smile and say, "That's okay
‘Cause you know sometimes love makes you act that way”

Crazy when love gets a hold of you
And it's crazy things that love will make you do
And it's crazy but it's true, you really don't know love at all
Until it's making you do something crazy
