These past few days my emotions have been all over the place. I have felt furious. I have felt sad. I have felt so confused. I have felt betrayed. I have felt grateful. I have felt loved. I have felt bewildered. It's amazing to me what an affect this election has had. It scares me. Has God removed His hand from America? What is going to happen in the next 4-8 years? I just have to keep reminding myself to have faith.
I felt so bad for my sis, Bethany, she posted a note (on Facebook) about how she felt about Barrack Obama, and why she didn't vote for him, she was not being disrespectful in any way. The next thing she knows, there is arguing back and forth between people who hardly know each other. It got to be so bad that she had to go in and delete her comment off of her Facebook page just so it would not continue.
This election has been particularly trying for Dustin and I because Dustin is in the Navy, so the new president will be his Commander-in-Chief. It just would have been a lot easier if that person were someone that it was easy to trust and respect, but that didn't happen. So, we will do as we were taught--respect the office of the President, no matter who is filling that office. I do, however, think it is hypocritical for someone to ask the men and women of our military to be patriots when he is not patriotic himself....
God is bigger than George W. Bush. He is bigger than John McCain. And He is bigger that Barrack Obama. And He is my Ultimate Commander-in-Chief.....

Sara, that was incredible. WOW! That would be hard for me if I were in the military. It brings on a whole new meaning of "Commander-in-Chief." This post gave me a different view of Dustin and the feelings that he is having, as well. Thanks for sharing that! Love you!
