So I have been wanting to start a blog for quite awhile, I did attempt it awhile back, but I have learned a few things and decided to start over. As a conservative wife and mother, I want to be able to get out important information, facts, and my feelings on different things, especially the current political race.
I think what is heaviest on my heart at the moment, are the attitudes of people that I counted among my friends in the national Santorum campaign. It was heartbreaking when Rick dropped, I cried for two days. I know there are a lot of people new to politics and campaigns, and that many people handled this news differently. I just wish the hate and nastiness would stop, no matter what people think of other's decisions. It's not productive, God doesn't like it, it probably brings tears to His eyes, and I know Rick would not approve.
Me personally, I had made my decision long before Rick dropped, because I knew how politics worked, and knew it was a possibility. I grew up with a very political dad. In my teens we used to have a lot of discussions, and I learned a lot from him which I am very thankful for! My personal decision in this was to support Romney, he will be the nominee and we HAVE to defeat Obama. Many people I respect and admire and made this decision as well.
I don't judge or condemn other people's decisions, on how they handle this. I do disagree with running a full fledged campaign without a candidate (this just seems disrespectful, not to mention somewhat illegal). I think it's great people still want to vote for Rick, and show their support! I just hope when this is all said and done we can come together and work for the bigger picture and greater good of this country and our children.
One thing that does bother me though are Christians who are saying God has a plan and we need to trust Him (which I full agree with!!) but then turn around and insist that their personal plan is so good it is therefore God's plan as well. God's plans are rarely our plans, we have to learn to be still and know that though His plan's are different they are great! and He has our best interests at heart. I am fully content in my decision, and know that whatever happens God is behind me and He has a great plan for me (and for Rick, who I still want to support in whatever he does now).
I hope that this ministers to some people. I just wanted to get my thoughts down on paper and start this blog.
God bless everyone!
