Last night was the Presidential election and I had high hopes for Mitt Romney as the new leader of our great country. It looks like just about half of the nation did too. But, not quite half. Of course we know Obama won. I am so disappointed!!!
I can't understand why people are happy with the sub par leadership we've had the past 4 years and even the past 6 weeks (while Obama should have been on his best behavior) with Benghazi. He split the country by putting everyone in to the rich or poor class and told us not to like the rich. His morals and values are nothing I agree with and I'm actually sick this morning because he is going to be running our country for four more years.
Romney ran a great campaign working tirelessly for our country. Because HE loves our country and wants to serve and make it better. He had brilliant ideas about balancing the budget, saving social security and medicare. Also, reevaluating programs that are already implemented. Now we will never know how great we really could have gotten in these next four years.
Judging on the last four yours (yes, as proven through thousands of years, history does repeat itself) we're in for more economy issues, more debt, and more problems around the world. (I truly hope I'm wrong.)
But, on a higher note I am so grateful to be a member of the true church of Jesus Christ. We know that times will be tough and that's why we are counseled to have our houses in order. This is all we can do. We must pray and prepare. We must have faith in the Lord. He will guide us in this unsettling time.
I am so thankful that I can pray for President Obama and all of the leaders of this great nation. It is under God's direction. We need to trust in him and that he will do what's best, although it may not be easy. We need give thanks for our freedoms and everything we are blessed with. We need to pray that we will come together as a people and nation and fight for the liberties that were established by our Constitution. Our Heavenly Father loves us, we are his children, He wants what's best for ALL of his children.
Now that I have that off my chest, I am feeling much better. I am going to move forward and look for the positive in America. And have faith that everything will work out for our family if my house is in order. No more criticism. Just a lot of prayers.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

today has been such a depressing day. I feel like so much hope was put into yesterday and now that hope is gone. But I know that the Lord has a bigger plan and everything will work out...just not necessarily the way I want it to. The test of our faith is not when everything goes our way but when things do not go the way we want them to. (paraphrased from what Elder Bednar said to a girl whose husband has ALS)
