Yes, it has been a while since I have posted anything substantive on my blog. For all of you who hang on to my every word...please accept my apology and understand that what has been going through my mind the past several weeks has no business being posted!
My last blog was very vague and meaningless. I just felt the need to post something so that everyone would know that I am still alive and kicking. In the past weeks I have allowed my circumstances to dominate my thoughts and actions. Please know that I am well and thankful that God loves me and tolerates my "karis" moments way more than anyone should ever have to.
Now....why I am really on here....
The election has caused me to ponder many of my beliefs and why I believe what I do. I have even struggled through this election asking the question of whether or not my beliefs should have any thing to do with my decision of who I would vote for. I struggled through this because I really felt like I had to choose the lesser of two evils no matter who my choice was.
As I thought through all of this I was more and more convicted of why the things I believe should be the foundation for my choice. I finally came to this conclusion....if I don't take a stand on homosexuality and abortion, why should the economy even matter? If I don't take a stand for what I hold to be TRUTH in my life, then what are our troops fighting for? If I don't somehow acknowledge our Creator in my choice then why does it matter what our source of energy is for this country? If I choose to leave my beliefs out of this election then I choose to reject the God on whom our country was founded and has so unashamedly dismissed.
I have been awakened to the power that my choice has. Although the majority of America did not agree with my choice last night, I will still hold tight to what I believe. I find great comfort in knowing that while our President will change in January, I serve a God who will not. I serve a God who spoke this election year into being and I serve a God who will extinguish time when He sees fit. I have been awakened to the highest calling that I have...the call of Christ. It is more apparent to me now than ever before how imperative it is that people know the TRUTH. The world has deluded truth for far too long. As we enter into the next four years of American history, let us rise to challenge that has presented itself and truly offer America "change that we can believe in".
