God Bless the USA

Well, we have a new President. President Obama and VP Biden have been sworn in. I voted for McCain, for many reasons but I'm ready to pray for Obama, and all our elected officials, from Obama to the City council members. While I may not have voted for Obama and Biden, they are our leaders and deserve our respect and prayers. The military is now run by Commander in Chief Obama, and I just pray that he makes the right decisions about what to do with our military.

I know and care about so many people connected with the military to not pray that our leader makes the right decisions.

Yet, today is still a historic day. America has a president that is not a white man. For the first time in our history. That is amazing. And, this paves the way for a female president! I hope that soon we elect a female president. But, that is in the future and we need to focus on the problems of today and celebrate the strides that today represents.

I love America, for all our problems, we have a lot of good things going on as well. Even with the recession we are still one of the most blessed nation's in the history of the world. And I get to call this wonderful country home! How amazing is that!?!

I live in such a vast, beautiful, interesting, blessed, growing country. I'm so proud to be an American. I'm proud of my heritage, but I'm excited to be an American.

So, to everyone out there...May our Lord see fit to bless the USA today and in the coming days, weeks, months and years. And may our Lord bless you and yours and provide you with the comfort, protection, joy that you need.

In Christ,
Paige
