My life as a homeschooling mom to four and praying for more.

• Nov. 8, 2006 - Election--the good, the bad and the ulgly

I know many of us are in a state of extreme disgust over the results of the election.  However, i encourage you to get down on your knees and pray thanks be to God that he can not be thrown from hi throne.  Even though Americans have made choices that may not be in our best interest, God is still God and he will guide us through this.  I encourage and challenge you to get on your knees and pray for the people who HAVE been elected.  Nothing is lost when God is involved. 

 

This is from a forum, written by me.  I wanted it saved somewhere, so the next time I hear someone bashing the elected officials, I can come here and get a few suggestions. LOL  I don't always agree with the officials, but know that we chose them.

 

As I sit here this morning after a long day yesterday sitting on the edge of my seat watching the numbers flip flop around, I am sadden that so many of this Nations people are blinded by the mudslinging that went on over the last several months. However, I do believe that with God all things are possible, and there in the end could be some good that can come out of this. In order for this to be a good thing we all are going to have to be on our knees praying that God's will be done! We need to all be watchmen for our country! This election hit hard on this nation. I want to challenge each and every Momy to take 10 mins out of your day everyday until the next election to pray for our country. I believe with prayer this election will not be near as devistating as we are believing it is now this morning after. I challenge each of you to help find and motivate leaders that would be better in our leadership roles then what have been elected at this point.

I kind of have kept this low key here until yesterday in my Homekeeping post, but I was involved with a local state rep campaign. I made calls, emailed, talked to people, distributed flyers, and researched info about the opponet. It is a stressful job, but I believe after the final count my efforts will not have been a waste of my time. Right now there will be a recount the current count has the guy I have been campaigning for at 19 votes ahead. I encourage you to get involved, this has been an awsome experience for our entire family. My 7 yr old ds now knows more about our country's government then I did before this election. LOL I ask each of you to pray for conservative leaders who will run in our next election. I ask you to encourage them, and get involved with their campaigns. This is more important then you may realize. We can not sit here and complain about who was elected if we don't get involved more then just going to the polls. I know without the efforts of the team of people I have worked with things would be different here. I will now get off my soap box, and get busy around here.
Praying, 
Betty

• Dec. 4, 2006 - what I meant

Posted by Eisenhourmommy
When I stated that the election results may not have been in our best interest I am saying that those elected may not have the best ideas to help our nation grow. Many of those elected are not God loving nor Fearing individuals. They may believe that it is ok to kill unborn babies, or marry and have relations with the same sex, or even have relations outside of marriage. Our founding fathers did not build this nation to have these things taking place, therefore electing officials that believe these things is not in out nations best interest.

No where in my post did I say I agree with President Bush. I believe you are putting words in my post without reading it. I do think there SHOULD be changes in how we are fighting this war. You are not going to be able to have a democracy in a Muslim country. It just won't work. I am not going to sit here and type about what should or should not be done. I have several friend's dh's who are fighting this war. My family and I pray daily that they be safe. This war was started under false accusations. P. Bush was lied to in the begining, however he should have made changes in his plans when this came forward. As we all know hidsight is 20/20 and now we need to work together and support our officials to find a reasonable solution to a severe problem.

Speaking of dept... How many credit cards do you have? What is the balance? Loans? Ect? I am not saying that we are completely debt free, but it is an issue that all of us who have debt who are to blame for this.

I could go on and on here, but I have a family that needs my care. I understand your frustrations over this war, as we are all frustrated. There is probably no RIGHT answer here, since someone will be upset no matter what takes place.

I encourage you to pray for the officials that are leading us. Pray for their Wisdom, safety, and God's guidence.
