Okay, I tend not to blog heavily about political issues. Honestly, I assumed when I put the word "Christian" in my heading that people would have a general idea how I feel about many issues, including some very controversial ones like abortion. My parents are adoptive parents (they adopted my brother) and I am an adoptive parent as well. I truly believe that all children can have loving homes if given an opportunity and not killed. I vote my beliefs and my beliefs are in line with holy scripture. Period. God expects no less from his followers.
I pray for our nation's leaders and over our nation's elections. I pray for God's protection for our country and it's brave men and women serving in the Armed Services. I realize that God hears the prayers of the righteous, but does not always answer us in the ways we would choose, often for our own good.
Tonight, watching the election results was like staring at a train wreck. I didn't like what I saw, but I couldn't pull myself away. For me, it's not a racial thing; my family is very multi-racial in composition and I love it that way. But, I have to remember that sometimes God's will reflects larger issues, like calling a nation to repentance.
Tonight, we have entered a historic era with a historic President-elect who is racially different from all previous Presidents before him. I will pray for him as I have prayed for all the others.
Sometimes, we don't get what we ask for, but we get what we deserve.

As I have been "grieving" somewhat for our nation because of the outcome, reading what you said has helped a little. My heart hurts for a man who clearly and unequivocally loves this country very much, has proved so, and was railroaded by his party's president's low rating, a "strategically placed" economic crash and the flowery words of an opponent. I feel like 2/3 of our country looked God in the face, spit in His eye and said money and telling us everything we want to hear is more important than your little babies being killed, your name being taken out of everything they can take it out of while making this a socialist nation. I am not happy with such a Democratic majority and a liberal, radical president. We may have four years of the economics looking brighter, and "unity" and every flowery thing people heard to get him elected a second term and then.....we WILL see the true Obama.
