Top Ten Election Predictions

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

I ripped this off from a currently-circulating e-mail forward (20%) and added my own (80%).  I am grateful to have my legal citizenship in this great country.  I thank God that I live in a place where I enjoy the right and the privilege of voting, but this world is not my home.  I am part of the Kingdom of God and am really just an alien passing through.  :)   Each presidential election seems to increase fear in our hearts, on both sides of the political fence, but I am hanging on for that “peace that passes understanding.”

Top Ten Truths No Matter WHO Wins this Election:

10.  God is FOR us.  (If God is for me, who can be against me?)

9.  Jesus LOVES me, this I know. (This may be the simplest and most amazing truth ever)

8.  The Holy Spirit will continue to LEAD, GUIDE, and DIRECT our lives.

7.  God is thinking about us and has good plans for our lives (Jer. 29.11).

6.  When I call on the Lord, He will hear me and answer me – telling me the things I need to know (Jer. 33.3).

5.  The heart of the king (and the president) is in God’s hands and God can turn it whichever way He desires  (Prov. 21.1).

4.  This generation will declare the mighty works of the Lord to the next and there will be no end to the increase of HIS Kingdom and HIS government (Psalm 71.18, Isaiah 9.7)!

3.  I will praise Him.   The reason I live is to worship Him. (These are words from my two “life songs.”  This is my commitment, my declaration – He IS the theme of my song, wherever I may lodge, whoever is president.  Psalm 119)

2.  The Word of God will STILL be true.

And the #1 thing that will still be true regardless of how this election turns out?

God will remain faithful.  Because He is.

Stay in peace, my friends, for He is with us always…Jeanie

NOTE TO SELF: Pray for the nation.

Exasperated

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Don’t ask.  Really.  You shouldn’t.  OK, then.  Fine.  I’ll tell you.

It has just been one of those [fill in the blank] kind of days, you know???  First [fill in the blank] happened.  And that was on top of [fill in the blank] which just exacerbated [fill in the blank], if you know what I mean.

Then [fill in the blank] didn’t cooperate with me.

Then [fill in the blank] let me down.

Then, I started feeling [fill in the blank] for myself.

Oh, but, there was more [fill in the blank] than you can believe.  Oh yes.  My computer [fill in the blank].  AND I had a [fill in the blank] blog problem.  Like who needs all this [fill in the blank]?!?

Plus, I, alone, was responsible for [fill in the blank] and [fill in the blank] AND [fill in the blank]!  I mean, what the [fill in the blank]?

Do I look like I have [fill in the blank] written on my forehead?

It would be better for everyone if they didn’t mention [fill in the blank]ing hormonal [fill in the blank].  Really.  Much safer!

So, anyway, I am stuck [fill in the blank]ing and I will continue to [fill in the blank], but I won’t be [fill in the blank].

So, just excuse me for [fill(ing) in the blank]!

Some things are better left unsaid…Jeanie

NOTE TO SELF:  I feel better already-just leaving some things blank.

NOTE TO FRIENDS:  All prayer greatly appreciated.

P.S. A few weeks ago we were all laughing at the 30+-year-old “Jesus is My Friend” contemporary Christian video, thinking we are so much cooler these days.  David Crowder has a bit of fun with it and thus:
