Elections, expectations, etc...

"Wake up Sadie, you are now living in an Obamanation." These were the first words my mom said to me this morning. What a wake up! Not only for me but for all of America also. Many people woke up this morning with expectations. Many were fulfilled and many were completely dashed. As for me, I felt, well, I didn't quite know what to feel. I had prayed for this election and I also know people that fasted for it. I know that I, like many Americans, asked God why things turned out the way that they did. Its hard for me after I have volunteered for and promoted for many causes, all of which did not go my way. But, my way is not the best way. God knows the hearts and the minds of the people that were elected yesterday and all I can do is pray and make an effort in my community. It is God who raises up and brings down and my prayer is that those whom he brings up will honor him and bring him the glory he deserves. So, for all of you out there who are still trying to digest yesterday's events, do not lose heart but take confidence in knowing that God is still in control.

oh and I forgot to say this yesterday I think its a real good Idea not to freak out because that just makes people think you're really weird and that everybody who supports McCain is weird.
Hey Thompson! This is an AWESOME blog! Word up! lol! anyways, I totally agree with the whole election thing. I was praying and fasting on Tuesday, and when the election results came in, I immediately began asking questions of God, which is never a good thing to do... and so that night as i was going to sleep, I was praying and God directed me to a verse in Isaiah 40:31. It says, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Another version says, "Those who hope in me will not be dissapointed..." So, ya, just to encuorage you, and take that and encourage your Christian friends, and non-christian friends. I LOVE you Sadie!!! <3 God Bless!
