But I wanted to post about America now that we have a new president coming into his reigns in January. That is right, Bush is still in charge until the beginning of the year. What a concept!!! I will not say who I voted for but do have some ideas about America. The President can not just snap his fingers and things will be changed.
No, it is a process and approval must be granted. Also we have to remember that this man who is the first African American may not be your choice, but if he can help America out so be it. America is struggling right now as a nation financially, militarily, and socially (health care included). We may or may not see changes...but give the system a chance. That is right...America is like a system that changes constantly. I know that after the election, gas went up 10 cents.
I have also had some friends/classmates receive some VERY inappropriate text messages that were racially biased. These girls did not even know the people sending these. I am saddened by the words some people say. Think about this: Is it Christian to be mean to others? Is it Christian to not do the right thing? My rule right now for myself is to not judge this new person, but to wait and see what happens.
One thing I have a hard time with is change. I do not like it at all. I have trouble when times change, classes change, people change from being nice, surroundings change, and everything in between. I know that change is inevitable, but still it is hard. I know that America will see some changes that they may or may not like, but try to adjust. Adjust in your own way and look to HIM for guidance. HE is the one who is looking out for the world HE created and HE will see us through!!!
Jeremiah 29:11 states "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD,"plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Have a little FAITH and allow HIM to work in our lives.
Have a wonderful afternoon!!!!

Great post! I'm sorry your under so much pressure. I don't think I could handle your work load. I'll keep you in my prayers.
We do need to seek Him and lean on Him. Ultimately He is in charge. I like your perspective. It saddens me, as well, that this election focused so much on the color our new President's skin. It shoudln't matter if he's black, white, blue or purple; but unfortunately it does to so many - and that is a sad thing.
Agreed. And while this man may have been elected to be our leader, ultimately, GOD is in charge. So, we need to have some faith, put aside the nastiness that this election has created amongst men, and try to work together as country. Hopefully God will use Obama to lead our country to greatness. HIS plan is always better than ours.
