Election Day

Today I have stared at the map of the United States on CNN's website showing Republicans taking control of the House. I am so thrilled with this change. Yet I feel this change is not enough. Sure it's great a different party is in control and I no longer have to listen to a certain woman's ignorance as house speaker, but I want so much more than Republicans being in control. I want Christ following Republicans in control. I want men or women who pray every day for our country, who delve into God's Word for guidance and wisdom, and who honor God in all aspects of their life. I want our country to have examples of Christ's love working for it everyday so that more and more people will be drawn to Christ. I want it all. What about you? 


For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:9-14
