It's just mortality

As I stayed up way too late last night in agony about the election, I became overwhelmingly stressed and aggravated as to what our country was about to face. Not that I think Obama is an “evil” person…I just really didn’t want to see him take the Oval Office for a multitude of reasons. I truly am worried about the upcoming years in this country, especially since the democrats have control over the house and the senate.

However…as I walked into work tonight and was greeted by my boss, who is an African American Gay man, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the country in which I live. I am grateful that we, the American public, have the ability to vote and decide together what is best for our country. I am thankful that I live during a time where we CAN elect a Black Man to the office of the United States President. I believe that he is, in fact, a good man with good intentions for this country. I pray every day for him and hope that he will be prayerful in his decision making. I hope we can stand together as a country and support our leaders.

I have faith that the Lord’s work will ultimately be done. I find comfort in the fact that as bad as things may get on this planet we call home – it’s just mortality. It will likely get worse before it gets better…but knowing that if I keep my eye single to the glory of God and I do my best every day to become closer to Christ that all will be well.

So, with all the sincerity in the world, I pledge allegiance to THIS country and President-elect Obama.
