If you have reservations about this presidency, pray. If you don't like a decision that will be made in the future, pray! All, I can do as a Christian, is pray and that is what I intend to do!
Happy Inauguration Day

Nationally Changing
Today, America will swear in the 44th President of the United States. Aside from my/your beliefs, this day will go down in history. One because Obama is the 44th President and two because he is black...as the first black President. I wish his presidency well and I will continue to pray for our nation as the change occurs.

A country called America
Sorry I did not post yesterday *coughTobicough.* Life is sure speeding up and my stress level is a tad high right now. I have had one of those weeks were everything and everyday runs together and on top of allergies and stress, this week has not been so great. I just found out that I have three tests next week AND three projects DUE next week too. So this is why my stress level is high right now.
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.
