this morning i am watching the sun peak over my neighbors trees, and thanking God for His light.
yes, i know that this election was a long, hard-fought battle for some. And i know that in worldly terms of "winning and losing" - this would appear to be a loss for life. but thankfully, God doesn't deal in worldly terms. His ways are unique to Him, and His paths are often not predictable by us. One thing that IS predictable is that for those of us who believe, He is not a changing God. He is the same today as He was yesterday!
what i know to be different on this day is me. somehow in these past months, my heart is unexplicably changed, i cannot imagine being that "other" person who existed just a few months ago. no longer can i stand by and remain uncaring about life and also about people who are hurting. no longer can i keep the Gospel in, when the Spirit inside of me chooses to push it out. no longer will i "go to the mall" without the feeling that life is meant for more, for prayer and intercession and interaction and embracing the One who made us.
that is what God has done on this day. that is what He came for, He died for, and what He will continue to do! Be blessed everyone, i love you all :)

You have such awesome words! I love reading your post today. And you are so right in every way. Thanks for opening my eyes, you couldn't have said it better...
And God bless you too...
I have watched this battle unfold from a distance, and it has occurred to me several times that perhaps it was more about obedience than about winning. If that is the case, then you've won, hands down!
