My First Election

Upon turning on the television, and seeing the words "OBAMA is the new President-Elect" flash across the screen, I have never before felt so afraid for our country. My very first election and all I can think of is dissappointment in my generation. There are no words to describe it...I will respect our new President for the position as God commands us to in His word. "Submit to the governing authorities". But I am deeply convicted that life begins at the moment conception and I pray that God will have mercy on our country that the crime of abortion will not be allowed even with a President that supports this form of murder. This one fact alone is enough to make me so sad...but I know that God is in control and has a reason for everything. To the leaders of our country, past and present, I have a message: My generation may have been so excited out of immaturity to feel like their vote was important (it was whether somone said so or not) but not all of us were decieved. I voted for who I believe was the best choice we had available, not for who made me feel good with compliments instead of morals. I am glad I serve God who is in control of everything because even in this time of confusion I know He will never let me down.
