President Obama

What an exciting and pivotal moment for the United States and her people. i can honestly say i am thankful and blessed for being alive to witness a historical moment like this. Sure, there are other things that have happened, but i can't say that i took part in it because i was either too young to appeciate it or too lost in my own life to care for its relevence. Yet this time, i was eligible to vote and take part in this year's presidential election.

i voted for Barach Obama despite contrary opinions amongst my fellow christian family members. Yes, Mccain stood for the conservative side and his ethical value is closely related to our Christian values as some would argue, but i could not bring myself to believe his faith in Christ exemplfied integrity. that doesn't mean i believe Obama's faith isn't stain with errors either because, come on, he is pro choice. It was a tough decision that took many months of prayer. i didn't do all my research until the week before the election because classwork takes priority.

it would take awhile for me to give all explanations for why i voted for Obama and not Mccaain but that isn't the essence of why i am writing this blog.

the purpose of this over due entry is described hereafter.

after the election was decided and while Obama gave his acceptance speech, i felt restless in my spirit and i just prayed for the United States and the future she will embrace. i can almost hear the tinkering of Satan's mind at work by my ear and picture the calamities and deceptions that will soon ensue us shall we not consciously get out of our comfort seats and prepare for the battles to come.

Everyone claims that he is the man who can do the job and many expectations were discussed. i on the other hand have no faith in all of that. i don't believe he will be the man to regenerate the condition of the U.S. The authority of america is not decided upon one man, though he is the primary initiator of ideals. He is obligated to filter his plans through many more minds that might not flow like him. The only thing i have faith in is that God is the King who enable changes to occur. i only pray that Obama will be available and willing to listen to Him and be His instrument.

Therefore, my four year goal is to gather fellow prayer warriors who will intercede and become the foundation of prayers for America and her president. Warriors who will commit to the seeking of God's heart for America and her future. This is my desire unless God should say otherwise.
