Rest Assurred

Election Day/Night:

After a very
disheartening election review from Fox29, 7:45 pm to 11:00 pm, I retreated to my room for the night. As I did I thought-
"God, how could this happen? I really believed McCain would win!"
I starred blankly at my laptop which was shut down for the evening, as I too would do soon. But before I did, I began to remove my jewelry. My earrings... necklace...... then reaching to my other hand to remove my ring, I hesitated.
I read,

"Life is precious"
It was my pro life ring I got at a rally in Vermont. Vermont was the first state to be won by Sen. Obama. Feeling defeated, yet not undone, I left THAT ring on my finger for the night as if to say-
"I'm still fighting"

I will not be shaken. Though tempted to sob that night, I clung to the promise of NEW life.
My new life has been found in Christ. HE is THE Savior for all mankind. He has already won the victory over sin and death.

So last night I rest assured knowing that everything is in the hands of the Almighty God.


Closing thoughts:
My friend, do not despair. Life is an instant,but life with God is eternal.
I urge you, as I do myself, to make a difference with that dash between dates. (1985-20?)
Today I tell you that I still stand pro life. In America I can voice my stand.

My sincere regards to McCain and Palin and their families. You fought so hard and fought til the end, even campaigning on election day. You in many ways have not lost. You have not "lost" in my eyes because you have influenced so many on the truths that our Nation was founded on. For this, I thank God for you. I thank God for giving you strength and endurance in the running as President and Vice President of the United States of America.
