Holding back my Excitement

So, it's been over a week since the election. I chose to restrain my excitement of Trump winning the election because of the despair that it seemed to trigger in some of my friends and family. One thing I have been having a difficult time understanding; protesters are still protesting, which is their free choice, but the difference now from protests in the past, was that protesters used to actually be protesting against something that was being done to them or someone else. Some injustice that needed correcting. But so far the protests are about what people are afraid MIGHT happen, not anything that has actually happened yet. Those that are protesting Trump being elected, are actually protesting against democracy itself.
Don't you think we felt bad when Obama was elected twice?? Why is it that when we have different fears from a different view we are labeled racist, bigots? Many of us truly believed that Obama was groomed from a young age, to be a major piece of a evil Islamic plan to destroy western civilization from within (which is they do not try and hide, but is well documented in the Muslim Brotherhood's own decrees from the 90's). It had absolutely nothing to do with the color of his skin. It had everything to do with his upbringing, and early influences in his life. I felt fear, dread and deep disappointment, but then I moved on, trusted God, and tried to look for the good in the situation, but we didn't feel the need to protest Obama being elected.
Give the new president a chance to prove himself. He deserves that, and the American people that voted for him deserve the same respect that they gave in previous elections. Please accept the majority of the people's will in each state and accept our new president.
Honestly, if our elections were held by the popular vote then California and New York would decided every election and other State's would have no say in who their president is. We are the United States of America, not just America. In the past, the criticism of the electoral college was not their existence, but that some were not voting in accordance with the majority of the will of the people in their state. That fueled anger and seemed un-democratic, but as long as the electoral college votes in accordance with the will of the people in their state, then democracy is working as it should.

Victory mixed with sadness

I feel sad that so many people are afraid of Trump and are judging those that support him. I blame the media and the powers behind it for painting Trump in such a horrible light. There is no need to be afraid, he is not what they said he is. Yes, he speaks his mind and is not perfect, but he is not the racist, misogynist, etc. that the media and apposing ads painted him to be. Those are smear labels and judgments that were meant to keep people from voting for him. But the people were fed up with being lied to by the main stream media and political elite. The internet gave us the avenue to research these attacks and find they were not true.
So, there is no need to be afraid of Trump as president. He will be a great president.

Vision of the Lion and the Lamb

Last Saturday night, during worship at house church, God gave me a vision that I shared of the Lion and the Lamb walking into the White House. When their feet touched the floor, light went out in all directions and darkness disappeared as I saw the State capital buildings light up across America. I was encouraged, but now I know what it meant. I thank God for his mercy on our Nation and His anointed leader, who will bring strength, integrity, honesty, prosperity, love and peace to the White house and the Nation.
Please keep praying for our Nation, and all people, that darkness will disappear as the lights are turned on.
