A New President

This election has been very interesting.  I think even more interesting is how people are responding to the results.  

I will admit, I voted for McCain/Palin.  The biggest issue for me is the abortion issue.  I can not in right conscience vote for someone who will support the killing of innocent babies.  I do have concerns about how this will all play out with Obama in office.  

However, with that said, God is in control.  I choose to put my hope and trust in Him regardless of who our President is.  I feel blessed to live in a Country that I get to have a vote.  

Just like I don't think we can blame Bush for everything going on right now (economic, war, etc.), I don't think we can expect that Obama will have either all the answers, or will somehow ruin our country.  Give me a break!  

My biggest prayer right now is that God will be glorified.  I do pray that Christians who voted for McCain will respond in a way that is honoring to the Lord, because I've already heard and seen stuff that makes me sick to my stomach.  (I realize that a lot of Christians also voted for Obama, and so know that I am not assuming if you are a Christian you had to vote one way or another, I am just making a note about some of the responses I have seen).

May Jesus be the source of my peace, hope, and fulfillment, and may I seek to honor Him in all that I do, say and think!

Obama, I will be praying for you as you lead our Country!  Congratulations.
