Call me crazy…but call me!

It is so reassuring to be among my peers.  No, we’re not the same age…my classmates range in age from 23 to 50-something.  But, we’re all on this journey together and most of us with our sights on similar goals.  As I am getting to know these people I am so comforted to know that I’m not the only one who feels a little crazy now and then. 

I keep reminding myself that every time I plan…guess what?  God Laughs!  And by the sound of it, our M-Div class is full of comedians because God has laughed at many of our plans!  What an unlikely lot!  Don’t take that the wrong way…it’s just that God’s timing is obviously not on the same timeline as we are.  I guess if we waited until the time was right, we would NEVER get around to responding to our calls.  But despite the obstacles….. one classmate and friend has 4 young children at home and 2 disabled in-laws living with her and she’s going for it!  Amazing!  Another has had every door shut in her face because she is a woman, but now that she’s at LTSG the door is open and she’s going for it too!  We have young families, a couple retired military, and some newlyweds too.  All responding to calls that no one can fully explain.  Yes, many would say we are crazy….

But my sacrifices don’t seem so painful now.  My challenges not so daunting.  And my world seems less insane.  The timing might seem crazy but as least I am not alone!

So call us crazy…. but remember, everyone is called!
