Hallelujah!!

Terrific news, Dave. I have been praying and asking for those kinds of results for you! Couldn’t have heard any better news tonight.

I do wish we could win the election but its not looking so good now.

Yes, I saw that he voted for Romney! Thanks for posting the graphic. I’m nervously watching the election returns and it’s ‘getting to me’, lol.

I am sobbing and going to need to close down.
If by some miracle I wake in the morning and find things aren’t the same, Praise God.
If not,there is going to be a lot of us needing some serious counsel on how to best walk our new path.

Oh, Polly - “TRUST” is such a BIG word. But, it is a powerful word, too.

He knows what is going on. He also is in control. I believe that.

Tonight, I talked with Him, as I was crying, and told Him this is the first time since my accident, that my prayers were not answered....but then, I heard a voice. A small voice, but still it was a voice, saying to me....”but at the end of your prayer, you said, “THY WILL BE DONE”.

We must TRUST that His will is being done. We may not know the reason why this election turned out the way it did - but HE KNOWS.

Ps. 46:10 BE STILL.....and KNOW that I am GOD

"we have been praying for God’s will to be done in all things!"

Yes, Luv - we sure have. That is the hard part - accepting that the results tonight are HIS WILL. We may not know the reason, but we must trust that He knows why. ((((HUGS)))

Oh, Amy, your graphic showed how we all feel. UNBELIEVABLE, isn’t it? I honestly thought Romney would make it. But, then, so did a full HALF of our country!

Those who voted for Obama are only half of who America is. The other half is US! And, we are strong. We will get through this! ((((HUGS))))

Thank you, yorkie for that wonderful testimony of faith in Our Savior, Jesus Christ.

We may question the results of this election, but we must always rely on our faith in our Savior.

May God continue to Bless you as you serve Him.

Dear Yorkie, I am so sad. Too sad to even cry. This democrat “win” (I know there was tons of fraud), will make it so I have to close my business this June. I needed the lower energy prices and better economy that a Romney presidency would bring. There is no reason to keep losing money as I have for the last 4 years. Things will stay the same or get worse. So after this year’s flowers are sold, I am out of business.

My Heavenly Home is there for me, perfect and peaceful and free of pain and strife. My soul is saved by Grace.

My earthly home and attached business is forever changed tonight.

I am truly stunned that people in this country like to pay 4 dollars for a gallon of gas, and so much more for groceries and everything else. They want more of this! It’s stunning.

Looks like I am stunned but not “speechless”.

((hugs))

Oh, TCP, it is only half of the people of this country. It is the ones who want their 'free phones', and government hand-outs. WE know better. I honestly thought we would win. But the 'other half' out-voted us. (I STILL think that Soros had a hand in getting the computerized voting machines rigged...)

I talked to a friend today who said he wasn't going to vote because he had friends that had voted, and they said that they kept pushing the button for Romney and it kept showing up as a vote for Obama. He said he chose not to vote, because he felt that it would not go where he intended.

I am so sorry about your business. :(

I will pray that things will work out for you.

we failed because of a flawed faux conservative canidate with no appeal to the core base, to liberal, pro abort, pro gay marriage and liberal judges as governor will haunt him to his dying day and beyond at the Judgement Throne. I had to ask GOD’s forgiveness before I held my nose and voted for him, because I did it for the USA and our Military who deserve a man to respect them. Alan West should have run and the outcome would have been different.

both RINO and 0 tore the real conservatives apart.

Now we wait another 4 years more deaths, more food stamps, more freebies we can't pay for, more debt and another $3 BILLION in clothes to cover the fat butt of the first woman..she is NO LADY! and lots more vacations taking 4k donors with them while destroying this great Nation. Ben, George, Patrick, Hale, Adams brothers too are rolling over in their graves because we just voted our REPUBLIC into a dictatorship.

Like all of you, I am so sad today. Why weren't our prayers answered? Why would God let a party keep winning, who believes in killing little unborn babies who want to be born, gay marriage and all kinds of things that in my heart, I think is wrong. I feel I'm almost at the point of losing my beloved faith. I will have a hard time getting over our losses.

Of course, I have to remember, O gives everything away for free, the things we all have to pay for! I need to write my checks today and get this mess out of the way so guess I will TRY to get it done. I hope this depression will go away.

I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HE GOT RE-ELECTED. One of my sons (who is as disappointed as I am) said to me, "Mom, you've got to pull out of your sadness because your health is not the best and you don't want anything to add to it." He understands but just worries that I will let it make me sick. I told him that I would be okay and get to my work at hand and will be better by day's end.

Thinking of all of you who have that empty feeling today! Maybe if I have some breakfast and get some things done, I will feel better!

Love y'all!!

We have a closed shop in the MSM. Obviously, that made the difference.

From Head To Heart

November 7, 2012

My childhood piano teacher was a stickler for memorization. Being able to play a piece without error was not enough. I had to play several pieces flawlessly by memory. Her reasoning was this: She didn’t want her students to say, when asked to play, “I’m sorry, I don’t have my music with me.”

As a child, I also memorized Bible passages, including Psalm 119:11. Due to my limited understanding, I believed that simple memorization would keep me from sin. I worked hard at memorizing verses, and I even won a Moody Bible Story Book as an award.

Although memorizing the Bible is a good habit to develop, it’s not the act of memorizing that keeps us from sin. As I learned soon after my winning efforts, having the words of Scripture in my head made little difference in my behavior. In fact, instead of victory over sin, knowledge alone generated feelings of guilt.

Eventually I realized that the Word of God had to spread through my whole being. I needed to internalize Scripture, to hide it “in my heart” the way a musician does a piece of music. I had to live the Bible as well as I could quote it. As God’s Word spreads from our heads to our hearts, sin loses its power over us.

O Lord, my God, may Your Word become so
much a part of me that obedience comes
naturally and cheerfully from my heart.
Change me andmold me into Your image.
Let God’s Word fill your memory, rule your heart,
and guide your life.

Read: Psalm 119:9-16

Your Word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. —Psalm 119:11
Bible in a Year:
John 18-21

((((((((((((((((((Jaycee))))))))))))))))))))))

I sobbed myself to sleep. I woke and in my prayer time today with darling hubby I couldn't hardly pray through my sobs.

And yet in then end, as our dearest YORKIE said last night in a post to me, we must " BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD"...( Yorkie that post was the best post of the day on FR!)...

In the end, God is sovereign. He works in the affairs of men as He sees fit. It doesn't make sense to us but it makes perfect sense to Him.

I am choosing this day to trust in Him no matter what. As Job said " Though thou slay me yet will I trust in You".....

I truly believe that God is purging His church for His return...

I love you my friend!!

I keep hearing stories of voting machines switching votes to Hussein.

So why does no one “in power” do anything about it?

Are the repubs in on it, if not, why do they not fight against this?

I believe fraud turned this election.

Holder, and his NO ID policy. We are a 3rd world dictatorship.

In a few years, it will be like old Iraq, where their Hussein got 100 percent of the vote.

I am disgusted, sad beyond description.

It’s after 11 and I haven’t even had water today, forget about breakfast.

Now I have cried over 2 elections. The one in 2008 and last night. Only this time, I know exactly what we are in for. In 2008 I only had a bad feeling. Now we know what is coming.

I pray for Israel. I stand with BiBi Netanyahu. He is the only earthly leader worthy of my support.

Hussein is for the side of evil. I pray he fails and all his evil deeds will be repaid to him a thousand fold.
