If I learned anything over the last few years, it's that God is totally sovereign! I watched Him lead Obama to victory and see His sovereignty at work. Isn't is so great to know that He's totally in control, and that ultimately, none of this matters? No matter who won, God is still good. He's still on the throne. We still have a hope that nothing can take away from us.
I am so excited to pray for a President that I didn't vote for. As much as I don't want to see certain things happen to our country, I am looking forward to the things that God is going to do. It's also such a blessing to know that, though we can't find perfection here, God has provided a home for us that will end all suffering. Suffering is a reality here... good and bad leaders will always be a part of our time here... and yet, God is good through it all. Obama may turn out to be an amazing leader for our country - just what we need during this time. God may have other plans for this nation, and I'm excited to see how He works in our leaders, and through the citizens.
I will say that this whole election has prompted me to vote in a way that I don't think I would've voted before. I found myself voting for local politicians that more represented my views, rather than going with one of two major parties. I enjoyed casting a vote for someone that I felt would help to take the government out of our daily lives and put power back in the hands of the people. I also enjoyed helping a more conservative candidate win this "swing state" - even though he may not have fully represented my views. The voting process is amazing and, while I don't love the outcome, I'm grateful that we have a choice at all, and again, God is working mightily and it's wonderful to watch.
