So, the whole voting ,election, winner, thing...

Ok, so I'm not too crazy about who won. I was a McCain Supporter, not cause I wanted to be...I am not too proud of my Republican party of late...but I thought I'd be a loyal voter. I know of many adults and youth who aren't too happy about last night's outcome. But, after spending the last 24 hours or so thinking about it, cause truly there was nothing else TO think about. I realized that it's ok.
It was a historical event and I along with millions of others were able to witness it, how cool is that!? I determined that how much worse could this new guy be. We've had such sad disapointment from the guy currently in office. I love this country, mainly because if we don't care for the new guy, don't agree with him, or want ANOTHER change...then in four years we get to vote again! And, how cool is that!?
By all intents and purposes, my mother is an imigrant, She was born in South Korea, and was a teenager during the Korean War, where she lost her family, some may have lost their lives, others lost to her due to circumstance, and perhaps another life a world away, or so we hope. We don't know really what happened to many of them. She came to this country alone with three children in tow at the time. She slowly acclamated to a new way of life and eventually became a citizen. The first time she got to vote was a milestone for her.
She taught me how important freedom is, and most importantly to be able to say what and how you feel. Aren't we truly blessed to sit here on this day and argue and contemplate and agree on who should have won? I don't know what the future holds for this new presidency, I hope it will be good things. I do know that this guy has a lot of work to do, not only with the state of the country, but with the state of mind that many are still in because they can't let go of the past. He has to prove himself, he might have won the battle, but the war isn't over, in more ways than one.
For those that fret or worry, I am right there with you. But I know that the Lord has his hand in everything, and if we continue to pray for this man and ourselves, that good things will come. Trials always come with blessings, so just plan on a few snags along the way. BUT, have faith, we're gonna be OK.
