I just saw where Mr. Obama has 297 electoral votes at this time (10:07 p.m. CDT). Definitely a historical moment in our time here on earth.
While I'm not exactly thrilled with the outcome, I rejoice that I can wait on the Lord. No matter what happens in the next 4 to 8 years, God is still God, and I know His justice and compassion are here for us. I will praise the Lord in this time and be in prayer for our country and it's newly elected leaders. Won't you join me?

God Bless You, dear Sister and your wonderful faith!
All things on this earth is temporary, but our place in our Heavenly Father's arms, is forever.
Blessings Laurie Ann, I'm praying for the USA and that all hearts will hail Our Lord as this verse in Isaiah proclaims...for He is the One who reigns! Your words show faith & excellent attitude...for we know of HIS JUSTICE & COMPASSION! May you enjoy your WFW and the rest of the week!
I love you, and your precious faith.
Laurie Ann,
I'm right there with you. No matter what, God is still in control.
Thanks for sharing!

Sent a couple of emails today regarding our conversation. Should hear back soon.
God is indeed in control. I'm glad you mentioned praying for our leaders. Regardless of how we may feel about the outcome of this historic election, it's vital that we all pray in earnest for Obama and all of our new leaders.
Wow, another post and verse about WAITING. I'm finding "be still" and "wait" in one form or another everywhere I go! The LORD is definitely drilling something into me!
Your post is beautiful. I will wait and serve.
God is amazing, and this is amazing too. Love your heart!
AMEN!!! God is still in control! We don't have to worry or wait on the president. All we have to do is trust in God. Thanks for the reminder this morning!
I'm trying to trust, but I must admit to anxiety. Barack Obama stands for all the things that the Lord abhors.
Have a great day,
Patti
I am battling the fear and anxiety that came with the outcome of this election. I know it is not of God, He is in control and this did not catch Him by surprise...He has a plan. BUT, today...I feel physically sick...but I will continue to pray for our nation.
P.S. Stop by my blog...I have an award waiting for you.
Happy WFW. Our Lord is with us and He is for us always.
Oh it brings me comfort and peace to know the Lord is in control! Praying for our nation and it's leadership,

God sees so much farther down the road than we do.... and I believe that if we love Him and obey Him, He will work this all to the good. He didn't tell us to go out and legislate.. He DID tell us to go, and tell, and to be a light to everyone else. Time to shine!
Thank you for a reminder that we need to wait for God. He knows everything and is in total control. Thank God for His justice and compassion.
Wonderful post today - I'm right with you on your feelings and I truly appreciate the verse you've posted. Happy WFW!
It is an amazing day! One the Lord has made.
Blessings
Laurie Ann,
I am so glad God is in control because I must admit, I'm with Patti...it's a little scary.
I'm reminded..."be anxious for nothing"
Blessings to you today!
My God is God of the Universe. Very timely scripture. God Bless and thanks for stopping by my blog.
We have no fears...isn't peace wonderful...
I'm with you...prayer for this nation.

I couldn't agree with you more, dear sister!!
Yes we all need to pray and trust God with who he let be our President. Blessings..
Great verse and picture. It's good to know that God is in control and we can put our trust in Him.
Amen and Amen Laurie Ann! I am so glad I can wait for HIM and know that all is well.
Blessings.
It all makes me feel abit heavy hearted and wary.. as well Laurie Ann.. But God's still God.

Precious sister Laurie Ann,
YOU KNOW I LOVE this WFW post!!!
Our hearts are together on this and I'm so thankful to know that we're praying together, while keeping our hope and trust only in our Savior!
Love you sweet sister-friend,
Sunny
Three cheers for your positive focus, Laurie Ann! God's Word describes the "terrible days" to be endured before He comes again - I figure that the faster things deteriorate, the faster I know He'll be here!
Yes, God is still God... God is good all the time... God is all knowing...Bless you my friend.
Amen my friend! There is certainly peace in the knowledge that God is in control! Praying with you.
Blessings,
Tracy
Amen! what a perfect verse!
Hi! I am a new reader of your blog. The layout is gorgeous and I will visit again. On to politics, I have to be honest, even though I KNEW who would win(the media had Obama elected in September!) I still grieved and I wept. I also take comfort, along with you and all of the posters above, that God is sovreign and HE will have the FINAL WORD!!! \O/
Please stop by my blog sometime, if you'd like. Have a blessed 2009!
Judy
