In the past month I've thought more about politics than I ever have, even more than the last presidential election. Last time I went to vote on November 2 (my birthday), and I was turning 21. I had asked my dad who he was going to vote for so I write it all down and voted like my dad! Haha, lame I know, but I trust my dad's opinion. But this time I've thought about the candidates and I won't say my stance because politics can get very emotional for some people.....all I know is it's got me thinking about our world today. We all know we're in the last days. It's obvious and all around us, someone was even talking about the economy and how our nation is well on its way to the next Great Depression. The more I thought about all these things the worse I felt, and was starting to feel really depressed. But as I read my Bible the other the day the Lord comforted me with these words:
"You still the hunger of those you cherish; their sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children. And I—in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness." ~Psalm 17:14b-15
All I can say is that I am so grateful to have my faith in Christ to fall back on! No matter what happens, whether the U.S. falls into another depression or not God will always provide for His children. And either way, we can wake up every day and be satisfied with looking around and seeing God's likeness in the world around us and the provision He brings.

About Me
- Elizabeth
- My name is Libby, and here I am with a new blog! I hope to share some good things with the friends, both new and old, who come across and read my posts, whether they're funny, serious, or just plain dumb! Either way, I have one simple motivation: to share what God does in my life. I love Him, truly more than anything else in the universe, and that's really all that matters. That's the important thing you should know about me! Haha! But beyond my relationship with the Lord I've been blessed with an amazing family, great friends, and a job I love. I work as a pastry chef for my family's restaurant and I hope to take cooking into the ministry somehow! I don't know how or when, but the Lord puts desires in our hearts for a reason, can I get an amen out there?! AMEN!

Politics are fun to discuss, Has Christians we often put to much stress and worry over people getting elected. Nothing really is going to change considering their truly is no true difference between parties. They are all about money and not us. Has from Psalms, God is our strength and he is the one we are to put are trust in, No some PAC advertiser. Good Post.
