I was just going to talk about voting today but my daughter changed my mind! I’m going out on a limb here, but this is what is in my heart!
I have to tell you a about my 13 year old daughter, Liana. She has taken this election to heart! When she got up and dressed this morning, she came to me and said, “Mom I am literally sick of how this election may turn out!” This child’s stomach was in knots! We have talked to our kids about our political views and why we have them. Yes, we are conservatives! We have always taught our kids biblical principals…based on the rule book “The BIBLE” and the Ten Commandments…you get the picture. So with all that said…you have to know Liana. She is a very strong willed teen and she doesn’t mind telling you how she feels about what is right and what is wrong. She sees this very liberal candidate that doesn’t have values like what we have instilled in her. She just can’t fathom why all these people are voting for this candidate. He may be a good man, a good father, a good spouse, but his beliefs do not line up with the Word of God and she knows that! I hate that my child is worrying over an election and I told her that when it comes down to it if the other candidate is chosen we will pray and intercede on his behalf. I needed to add this little piece of information in…for never did I think about an election when I was 13 years of age.
Our children are suffering because of this GREAT Country turning against God. We as Christians are afraid to speak out! Sorry…if you didn’t like the sound of that, but this is my belief and my blog. I don’t have to be a theologian to know the world is going to hell in a hand basket and the Bible is being fulfilled!
I like Kay Authors quote, “Our country has changed—now, are we headed for revival or judgment?” I am hoping revival. It is time for all Christian Americans to raise the battle cry and take our nation back! How do we expect to change lives if we are afraid of speaking out as Jesus did during His time on earth. He told it like it was, no sugar coating, he got angry with the money changers in the temple and drove them out! Yes, He is loving, but yet He is God and weather you want to believe it or not God is a God of love and destruction. Can you believe that on several occasions He wanted to destroy the Israelites? Check out Exodus 32 and Numbers 11, Moses intercedes for the Israelites and God does not destroy them. When the Israelites are obedient to Him, God destroys their enemies!
So…now we know why we are faced with the problems of today! Rebelling against God! Christians not standing on the truth! Letting the evil of this world take over! Yes, I know God is in control, and the Bible is being fulfilled, but do you think God wants us to sit around twiddling our thumbs and not stand up for what He has written to us in His Word. The agnostics and atheist do a good job of standing up for what they believe in! So go figure!
These are solely my views and I know that many of you have your own that are completely different from mine, and I do respect them! The U.S wouldn’t be called a free Country if we could not voice our opinion.
I will be watching the election tonight with my family and when the time comes for one of the candidate to concede and the other make his victory speech…I promise that I will be obedient to God and pray for the leader Democrat or Republican of this GREAT Country!
God Bless All and God Bless America!
Hey Mrs. Lynn. This is actually the first election that I have been interested in, just like liana. I look at it in perspective of the end times. Everything that happens today all leads up to the very end ya know? So I was thinking, we shouldn’t be worrying although I find myself thinking “What’s going to happen to our country if the wrong person becomes President?” But we don’t need to worry because whatever God has planned will happen no matter if we worry or not. [: By the way, I like this whole blog thing you’ve got going on. It’s pretty cool. [;
by the way, that comment was from nicole. [; I forgot. Love You Mrs. Lynn!!
