I voted...

I voted...even tho I don't agree entirely with either candidate. I did vote, however, for the candidate that has the same views as I on the issues I'm passionate about. I encourage you to vote because I feel as if I'm honoring and respecting our ancestors lives as they have done so much for us to have the right to vote...especially women.


It's kinda funny. I am starting a Beth Moore study and last night was the first night I sat down and did the first lesson. It was about King Uzziah who was the king of Judah and reigned in Jerusalem for 52 years. In the beginning of his reign, 2 Chronicles 26:4 says "He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord". So here's a man who was very powerful and successful and followed the Lord. In 2 Chronicles 26:16 says, "But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall". The study was about how Uzziah's pride took over seeking God. He became somewhat self absorbed and was no longer faithful to the Lord. Beth Moore asks us to ask God, what each study means to us personally. So the last question of yesterday's study was "How does God want you to respond to what He showed you today?" My response was " Election Day is tomorrow and I believe God is showing me that we need to pray for whoever gets elected...that they remain focused on God and do not abuse power or become prideful." I think it was so convienent that I did this study yesterday. God has his hand over us...America. I know this election had a lot of bashing of character and is going to be a close election, but ultimately we need to look to God. He knows who is going to win and we need to constantly pray for our president...that he follows the Lord and "does what is right in the Lord's eyes". We need to constantly pray that they will not be filled with pride and remain humble.


So whoever wins tonight, know that God has his hand over us...and pray that our president will be a humble man of God.
