Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits

-Daniel 11:32

I tried.  I’ve been avoiding writing about politics, it’s just not usually my cup of tea, and I’m sure the rest of ya are tired of hearing as well.  I don’t have a large readership, but I greatly value the ones that I have.  The following are MY feelings of my country’s current situation.  I can’t hold them in when I have even the tiniest voice.  It’s still a part of my story, though I am hesitant. 

 I’m so glad the mess is over, but yet the fear of a mess a thousand times worse, that has been at the back of my mind, has suddenly been forced into a scary reality.  I was prepared for bad, but not for the feelings that I have as I place these words carefully, here, for you to ingest.

Forced into being by words that I hoped, out of fear, I would never hear.  Fear that has came on like a thief in the night.  Forcing itself into my being, my bowels, taking away all good and perfect thoughts that were once, only just moments ago, filling my mind, my body, and yes, my even my soul.  What was once a perfect evening, now almost ruined by the thought of evil.  The thief, yes, I could see this thief.  Roaming, sneaking, prowling in the night.  As each second passed, I could see him getting ever so close.  I did my duty to fend him off, but my duty did not avail.  I was overpowered, no, we…we were overpowered.

Yet, there is a God who will see us through.  I thank God for his being.  For his presence.  For his mercy.  I pray, oh how I pray that these thoughts, these fears are nothing more than they are, thoughts and fears.

There is nothing more for me to do, nothing more than what I would have done.  I must, WE must, continue to pray, fervently.  Pray for our country, pray for our new leaders, pray that the choices they make will be made only after turning to the one true God for answers.  

God be with US(A)
