Prayer

I haven't been blogging. 
nope.  
I have instead been doing many other things instead. 
baking. 
sewing. 
creating. 
being a wife and a mom. 
and that is what I have been doing. 

Oh one other thing. 

I have been worried about the upcoming election. 
I have been praying. 
It is in God's hands. 
and so am I. 

Sara and I have watched every debate. 

EVERY SINGLE ONE. 

They were not easy to watch at times. 
I really like Romney. 
I mean I have to be honest, 
I didn't really like him before the convention. 
and then... well, I had a HUGE change of heart. 

I am not a fan of Obama. 
I just don't like what he stands for. 
How he operates and lies and treats the American 
people like they are 
idiots. 
and I guess what bothers me most is the people that will be voting for him, 
most of them have just not educated themselves on who he is. 
That is what bothers me. 
They don't even know why they are voting for him. 

I have to say, 
We get to VOTE. 
We don't really get what a privilege this is. 
people take it for granted, not voting, not caring, not being informed etc. 
Men and Women gave up their lives for us as 
American Citizens to be able to have that right. 
Do not take it for granted. 
It is an honor. 

I received an email today from my mom. 

it is lengthy but I am going to post it anyway, 
and if you want to read it, Please do so. 
I was debating about posting about this election
(but it is my blog  so I thought why not) 

So here it is, 
One minute each night


I look forward to praying with many of you

Family and Friends,

A dear friend just sent this to me. And I think this is a great idea. Will
you join me? Beginning tonight.

This is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced, and from
the looks of the polls, the Christians aren't voting Christian values. We
all need to be on our knees.

Do you believe we can take God at His word? Call upon His name, then stand
back and watch His wonders unfold. This scripture gives us, as Christians,
ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I
challenge you to do that. We have never been more desperate than now for
God to heal our land.

This election is the scariest I remember in my lifetime. 2 Chronicles
7:14.  'If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I
hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.'

During WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill, who organized a group of
people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour
for one minute, to collectively pray for the safety of ****England**** ,
its people and peace. This had an amazing effect, as bombing stopped.

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America


The ****United States of America**** , and our citizens, need prayer more
than ever!!! If you would like to participate, each evening at 9:00 P.M.
Eastern Time (8 PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific), stop whatever
you're doing, and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United
States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the upcoming
election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our
land, and that Christianity will grow in the U.S.


Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we
have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the
most powerful asset we have.

now,  you may or may not agree with me.
Democrat / Republican
what ever we are all AMERICANS.
We need a leader who will help our country prosper.
A LEADER.
that is what we need.
Obama is not for America.
(read his book My Father's Dreams) he says it in his own words.
Educate yourselves as Americans.
Watch Obama's America 2016.


and thus concludes my speech....
I am getting off my soap box,
Thanks for reading if you are indeed still here.

I didn't like Romney that much until the first debate. Then my heart changed. I really believe he is the man for the job and I am praying alongside you!
