Okay...we lost....

I spent most of last week pretty depressed about the election and then just decided to remain positive...I also have to admit that I am excited about having an African American president. BUT I would have much rather had an extremely pro life president. My family was fighting and my husband and I realized that we had to put on happy faces for the kids who have to face friends that voted for OBAMA. So we have agreed to pray for the president even though we don't agree with him. And so we say things like "Dear God, protect our president and his family and change his heart regarding little babies." It is really hard for me as a post abortive woman to remain optimistic when I feel like the doors to abortion under any circumstance are about the be blown wide open...but I am planning on being pro active. i am writing a bible study for mothers and daughters to discuss abortion....and I will continue to fight. i am also going to go through training at our local Pregnancy Support Services office in May...so I can help with the post abortive and abortion minded women. I will pray they will be moved to give life....OH and I submitted my manuscript for my book to be edited today.....

John McCain and His Pattern of Resurrection

First off I am in no way comparing John McCain to Jesus. Lately I have been waking up very discouraged about the campaign. Being a serious pro life advocate I cannot endorse Obama. I just don't see him as contributing to eliminating Roe V Wade or even creating any limitations. In fact it appears via the Freedom of Choice act he will eliminate any restrictions...So this morning I woke up with a strong positive feeling pertaining to McCain's victory tomorrow. If we follow his pattern of 'coming from behind'...and defying death and adversity we have to put our trust that his good fortune will stand. First while in the military he watched as 134 men were killed when a jet crashed into the carrier he was on...he was burned and scarred then narrowly missing death. He was deployed to Vietnam within days. Then while in Vietnam only 4 months after that incident his plane went down and as he was drowning at the bottom of a lake with broken arms he opened his inflatable vest with his teeth...as he surfaced he was taken as a prisoner of war. ...His wife and mother agreed that he was dead only to find out the GOOD NEWS that he was a prisoner of war instead...And then the doctors who took care of him thought he was within hours of death...he survived....after all of that he made it back to Washington after solitary confinement and years as a pow. This year during the primaries when Huckabee and Romney were considered the most likely victors he prevailed..Now he has been down in the polls...as he puts it "Obama is measuring the drapes"...he has been verbally crucified in the press and basically characterized in the worst way ever repeatedly by them....but somehow today as i look at how his life has evolved I can't help but think that tomorrow is going to be another bright day for John McCain. Why has God kept him alive for so long? Why has God resurrected him repeatedly? He has endured so much for this country...he is a good man that believes in the values of America and is proud of what it is and can be. I believe he has been uniquely and in a way unfortunately (through his suffering) qualified to run the country that he has fought for..And I also believe that God will have favor on his service and mercy on our country. When we see the McCain slogan COUNTRY FIRST....this is something he truly believes in and has lived out....McCain is destined for this position and I feel in my heart today that tomorrow is his victory....
