I’ve been crying several times since the first election returns came coming in. I just have been SOBBING. Sobbing in the shower, in the car, all over the place. I just really didn’t want to live the 2nd half of my life struggling through this sort of thing.
I have been proud to be an American since I was 5 years old. I’ve grown up red, white, and blue. I came from a pretty unpretentious background, but took advantage of every opportunity to work hard, get an education, marry well, and hubby and I have worked for every dime. I’ve always been amazed by and so confident in America — we have always been SO powerful, SO giving, so smart, so STRONG ... I had so many dreams for a better future ...I really feel they’ve been trashed and life is going to be one huge struggle from now on.
I’ve been poor — it’s not fun. I do NOT want to go back to it. I’ve seen evil in my lifetime. I’ve seen communism close up, in E. Germany when it was still East and West. I’ve seen this stuff ...and it’s NO FUN. People do NOT get this ...how bad this is going to get. Our crash is going to be sudden, and hard. Look at us during a hurricane ...we’re entirely fragile and weak — one could knock us over with a feather.
I cry for my kids and their kids. I cry for the decent men and women who gave their lives for us to live our lives decently ...and here we go and vote in this evil thing.
I like to think there’s still a lot of hope, as 50% really do reject these liberal principles, it seems, every single time ....our side needs to learn how to get that advantage ..that edge that puts us over the top just once ...so we could rebuild. I’m not sure there are enough of us now to do that ....so, it’s going to TAKE A GENERATION or two of stopping all this contraception and building large families again. I’d like to think there were some kids out there like that ...but they are rare.
Sorry for the long rant ...I’m distraught.
I know what you mean.. My husband and I slept maybe 3 hours last night trying to digest this tragedy. I received this ‘forward’ from a friend this afternoon. Although I feel like God has forsaken us, I have to believe that there is a reason for everything including this.
After the Election
Tonight, after the election is over, I can predict (and guarantee) the following results:
1. God will still be on His throne
2. Jesus will still be King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
3. The Bible will still have all the answers to every problem.
4. The tomb will still be empty.
5. Jesus will still be the only way to heaven
6. Prayer will still work - it will still make a difference and God will still answer prayer
7. The cross, not the government, will still be our salvation
8. There will still be room at the cross.
9. Jesus will still save anyone who places their faith and trust in Him.
10. God will still be with us always - He will never leave us or forsake us.
