The election is over.
I suffered through months of endless tv-ad torture and hours of weird network tv coverage and the creepy shifty eyed Fox anchor squinting the vote-y news to me.
I can't say I'm happy with the liberal (with a capital LEFT) man our nation has elected
(it makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit to be honest)
and I can't say I haven't thought about a northern migration
(America Junior anyone?)
but I am so happy that this outcome wasn't a surprise for God.
{He holds my future in His hands as well as the countless babies' lives whom a certain future president doesn't think matter}
HE knows what our country needs and exactly how things will unfold.
In a time of uncertainty for the beliefs of evangelical Christians
(and a time when 1 Peter never rang so true to me)
{ 1 Peter 1: 17 Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.}
we can be certain of our hope and our future and certain that we need to start praying for our president elect.
I'm probably going to need a new nick-name for him--is Oprah's Little Helper less offensive than B.O.?
After all, it's the details that concern me most.

The electoral votes may seem one-sided, but the popular vote of REAL people tells a different story. Obama only received about 54% of the nation's vote, which thankfully means that almost half of our country does NOT want him to be our president.
They both campaigned hard, and this is the result. Maybe you could call him the president-elect, have faith that he's on God's team, too, like he says he is, and watch to see how God is going to use him for the good of the country.
(I had to stop watching Fox because of the Shifty-Looking Man. It was too much.)
I believe that God is in control. I do not believe that Obama is on "God's team" and for that matter I don't believe that God has a team.
I do believe that Republican values most closely align with Christian values (most of the time).
I believe that evil can be used for good and I believe that everything and everyone has a purpose in His plan.
How many civil liberties will have to disappear and how socialistic our society will become under B.O. remains to be seen.
The thought makes me uneasy and sad. I'm thankful for God's purpose and control and praying praying praying for His grace in all things.
well, look at it this way: if all those crazies are right about B.O being the antichrist, we're not here for much longer anyway!
i'd rather be home :)
I couldn't agree with your post (or your comment) more. I'm thankful today for God's sovereignty and wisdom.
And, I think B.O. is just fine. :-)
And SarahV? Hilarious. And, right on.
