Ramblings on life as I attempt to grasp a better understanding of God and how He is connected with It.

Mr. President

Well... I've let is sink in for these last 48 hours, and it's finally starting to settle: Barack Obama will be our Nation's 44th president.


Although I cannot say I was excited to watch Obama win the Election on Tuesday night, I can say that I certainly still have hope for our country—and for our next President. In a speech given after the announcing of the Election Results, Obama spoke openly to Republicans, stating that we all must work together, and we all must fight together to bring unity to a torn country. I respect what he said very much, and I will hold him to what was said.

Even though Barack Obama did not have my vote in this election, he has my full, 100% support as the Commander in Chief of this Blessed Nation. I am a patriot, and I love my country, and I will fully back Barack Obama. However, I say this because first I am a follower of Jesus Christ, and I trust that even though Obama will move into the White House come January, God is still firmly seated on His Throne above. May we never forget to seek God in all things, for the days are evil (Ephesians 5:15)—let us turn as a nation to God, who is Lord of All (Isaiah 6:1, 3; Revelation 4:8).

The king's heart is in
the hand of the Lord,
Like the rivers of water
He turns it wherever He wishes.

Proverbs 21:1
