The Super Bowl Ad Nobody Remembers

I did not see one of the much talked about Super Bowl ads this year. Girl time and a chick flick was just much more pleasurable:) However I did watch this Super Bowl ad on YouTube. The Super Bowl ad that wasn't.

Pray for the Orphans

In the next few days you will see writings on care of orphans. Specifically in adopting. I realize though that not everyone of us is not called to adopt or able. There are other ways you can help. I will be giving some more suggestions on how to do this. Please though remember the orphans in your prayers. Watch this video, I think you will be challenged.

Election Day; The day I Knew God was in Control

My heart felt heavy as I prepared for bed. Certainly I felt that Obama would be the next president of United Sates. Not for a moment did I doubt the power of God. Yes still He could put a righteous leader in power. Sadness overwhelmed me though as I thought of the implications of having Obama as president. Would the dark speculations of people come true?
I turned to Psalm 37, the words could not be more timely for Christians in the United states. Doubt of God and His power that lies in your heart will quickly be removed. Wicked shall be overthrown and the righteous will reign. Suddenly I was filled with joy. I have an eternity to look forward to with my Lord Jesus Christ. What can a season of hardships do to me? Nothing! I knew I have a challenge. I must proclaim the word of God with my month. Telling those around me where real hope lies. Politicians will only be around for season. I may not be here all that much longer either. However my Lord Jesus Christ will always be waiting for His people to turn to Him. Such a responsibility was given to me to share that news. We are called for a much higher purpose then to whine about politics. Joy should be ours as we look toward to our eternal reward.

The LORD knows the days of the blameless,
And their inheritance will be forever. Psalms 37:18

Deep was the sleep that I was awoken out of at 2:30 am. I wondered upstairs and turned on the TV. Obama had won. Anger filled my heart as before. I had to plead forgiveness to my Lord. Later I lay in bed sleep would not visit me. Instead I prayed. I don't remember what I prayed, just that I prayed. More that ever our nation needs prayer. Thousands upon thousands voted for Obama. Prayers must be sent in those same numbers. Our new president will need them whether he thinks it or not. Pray for our new president and his family. Pray for our nation. Pray for are other leaders in authority over us. Pray for the church that they will turn to God in prayer.

O LORD, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
come to my relief. Psalm 143:1

My Prayers and Votes Will Count

I cast my vote today. I put my support in a forceful way behind the candidate whom I believe should be president.
Years of going to the polls with my parents have built excitement. Just months after my 18th birthday I was the one to punch the buttons. I felt a thrill shoot through me as I voted for the president. Double checking carefully to make sure the right one had been recorded.
I'm not shy in saying who I voted for. John McCain was top priority among other upstanding Republicans. True he has his flaws. Jesus however is not running for president. Sometimes we just have to accept people's flaws for who they are. Remembering that there is the lesser of two evils.

My part is done most would say. However it's not, just like a prayer is said before a meal. Prayers should be said in the matter of voting. Oh I beseech the throne of grace that our Lord would give us mercy. Do we deserve another upstanding president? No we don't. My God knows who I want in office. I cannot bring myself to beg and plead with a since of ungratefulness. Simply my prayer is for mercy. Act of receiving something undeserved. Which is exactly what it would be if John McCain were elected as president of the United States.

We have a weapon, casting our one vote's. Then praying. Nothing is impossible with prayer. Not even Obama's millions can stand up to that.
