OK, so I know the outcome for President last night wasn't exactly what everyone had hoped for, however..I just keep reminding myself that God is Sovereign...presidency..only a part of this life we're living right now. HOWEVER, with that being said Proposition 8 has been the one main thing on everyones mind in California, some more so than the presidency...and I can now PROUDLY say...Prop 8 has passed. Gay and Lesbian marriages are no longer legal in the state of California. And it will not be taught in schools that there is no difference in a man and man being married than a man and woman being married. A lot of people are concerned for the fact that some couples already got married before Prop 8 was passed, some famous celebrities, some not, but those will stay married, but no one else can get married!!! I know that times were especially hard out here, there were some being persecuted for saying they would vote yes on 8, but we stayed strong, we prayed, and it brought communities closer together knowing that for some it may not have been a faith issue, but a moral issue...whatever the case....God's hand was on it, steady as always...
My one prayer through all of this is that it not only brought us closer to some people we may not have ever met, but that we would continue that fellowship with those people and perhaps find we all have more common ground than ever before...I know specifically it brought our church to our knees..we prepared, we prayed, we studied...and as workers for the Kingdom...we won...Christ won...yet again.
Thank you for all your prayers and support through this trying time...and also remember to pray for our new president...We may not like his background, or lack thereof. We may not agree with most of what he says...but we are still called to pray for him. He now holds the highest office in this country, pray for him, his wife, and those two little girls that will soon be exposed to all of this...pray.
Miss and Love Everyone!
