It Goes On.

This past week was pretty good. Lots of mountains and sun and friends and missionary goals and lots and LOTS of coffee. And I didn't fight all that coffee. Spoke at a church who graciously allowed me to take up a little time at their prayer meeting to tell them my plans. It is another relationship made for the expansion of the Kingdom.

I have been blessed by a financial gift that came in surprisingly so I'm praising God for that. Since I've been back from the good ol' mountains back to the coast of NC where life must resume to go forward. Job hunting, support-raising, loan figuring, and all that must go on..sometimes encouragingly, other times, grudgingly. But it will go and I have given my anxieties to the Lord.

Also the frenzy of the second presidential debate made it's way into my house. Last time this all happened was when I was 18. I could vote for the first time ever the very year I turned 18 and needless to say I voted the way my parents voted. I mean let's get real, when you are 18 (unless you are focused on politics being a goal in your life) all you are concerned about is going to college, graduating high school, making memories with friends and so on.

This time..I'm still voting the same way my parents are, but on different terms. I have done the research this time, not just blindly voting a candidate.

There is a lot that goes into solidly putting the country in the hands of a mere man. That's why my vote doesn't just go into a man's policies or promises, it goes hoping that this man will do his very best and with a prayer that the King of all things will guide his hand.

I wonder what would happen if Christians would write the president of this next term and un-condescendingly tell him that we are praying for him and his office as well as administration. That would be an interesting experiment.

All to God
