Today is election day and is a HUGE historical event. Obama is running to be re-elected and Mitt Romney is running as the Republican nomination.
It finally hit me the other day how monumental today is. Barrack paved the way for "something new" 4 years ago by being the first African-American to be voted as our country's president. That marked a big day in history for so many reasons. And as a nation I believe most people were accepting of that.
Today we are being asked to make another historical decision...re-elect our current president or vote for the "mormon guy". As you know, I have voted for the "mormon guy". I have pondered on this decision ALOT. I have wondered am I voting for him because he IS mormon or because I agree with his policies? I finally came to the decision that I am voting for him because he is mormon. He lives the same standards I do, he lives the higher law that I do, he answers to God like I do. Therefore, if he is doing all of this faithfully then I don't need to know what his policies are or his views because through our faith I know where he stands.
All of this thinking and pondering and watching the scriptures come alive in our modern day has made me very emotional. I am grateful to live in this great land. The promised land. I am grateful to have been blessed with 4 amazing children that I KNOW are ready for the last day challenges. I am grateful for a husband who honors this country through his service everyday. I am grateful for how much my husband loves me and our children and that I know he would do anything for us.
And I am grateful that through my faith I was blessed with all of this.
I know the Lord's hand is in this day...election day 2012.
I know that Mitt Romney, former Stake President and Bishop, made it this far
because the Lord has plans for our country.
And I know that whatever is to come of this election,
it will be because of what the Lord saw fit for our time.
