Hope for Haiti

I know we all have heard about the devastating news in Haiti, well i was listening to the radio, 88.3 FM, and they were interviewing this woman that was living down there. They were asking her how she was holding up. She had told them that on the day of the earthquake or sometime around there, that she had been up on the this moutain or on the compounds, anyway she was somewhere she could see the Port-au- Prince from where she was. She said that everytime there was a tremor, everyone sarted praying and worshiping. I dont exactly understand why. Yes im a christian and everythig, but in America, everytime something bad happens, how many time do we start blaming God and not praising and praying to him. Hardly ever will we actually run to him and curl up in his arms, but instead we run, assuming that will take care of our problems or that it will just all dissappear if you just get away for awhile. I will admit that sometimes, it does help for you to get away and recover, as long as you come back and make things better. But most of the time when you run away, you dont come back or it is very hard too. Im currently in a sitiuation like that, well not me personally, but someone very close to me. They say they will not come back. But when you run away its just like telling a lie. Only this time youre lying to yourself instead of to someone else. You’re lying about whats wrong with you and about whats really going on. So instead you use that excuse of i need to get away for awhile, but when really, all we want to do is redo what happened and wish that it doesnt happen, but instead we know that can never happen and were too scared to admit to God and ourselves that we want to make things better. I dont understand how the people in Haiti have just lost what little belongings they have and they still keep praising God. But when a fight happens between you and someone else that changes things between you and them we want to run away never returning. The Haitans lost loved ones. Even the ones they had problems with and they didnt get to fix it, and they still PRAISE GOD! But we have the chance to fix it before something like the earthquake in Haiti happens and every single bit of hope is gone and theres no chance of you fixing it with that other person. So I hope this leaves you with something to think about cause i know i do.
