| So here I am up late as usual. I thought I would actually make it to bed at a decent hour but alas here I am on xanga. My heart is heavy and I'm not quite sure why. There are a few possibilities. I miss my husband having him gone just makes everything feel blah and wrong, I kinda feel lost. I hung out with my family tonight and it makes me sad cuz I'm not very close with them. I am but not really, it just seems real surface with them and I used to be real close to some of them so it just kind of stinks that those relationships change. The election makes me sad. I'm not one of those oh no here goes the country, don't blame me, I'm moving to Canada kinda sad, but I'm sad because of those reactions. God is still soveriegn, it will be okay. And besides this election really convicted me about my involvement in the country. People, myself included, act as if all we can do to affect the country and all we should do is vote every four years for a president and if we are really involved vote in a few other elections as well and then sit back and see what happens and if it's the person we voted for and they did good, then we are a freakin genius and good for us, and if it's not the person we voted for and they did bad well then yeah for me and thats what you get for voting for an idiot. In reality there are other ways to change this country besides voting every four years. I haven't figured out the details of what those things are but I have some thoughts.
When I read about the life of Jesus he didn't seem to get to caught up in the politics of life, granted he did have order and established order for our churches, but concerning all the issues he knew what people needed. They needed him. Jesus didn't tell his followers to make sure that they voted for the right canidate or else their going to be sorry. His instructions were much more personal and always out of love. He didn't enforce having leaders to make all of the changes, but rather being the change and loving people even when its not convenient.
I'm not concerned about our country, I love our country and I love that out of all the times and places in the history of the world I was born here and now, but what concerns me is our Christians. I'm concerned that our Christians in America are complacent, lazy, and apathetic, and only want to get involved when the situation makes them too uncomfortable. I hope that this election will keep me angry enough to seek out ways to get involved more. I want to find ways to help my country rather than just sit back and complain as it goes down the tubes and blame someone else that I either did or didn't vote for.

| So hello old friend, does anyone even use you anymore?
I found myself tonight sitting on my couch finishing up my homework and having the overwhelming feeling to share my heart and what better way to share my heart than to write on xanga. I was surprised that I even remembered my password but I did. When I got on here instead of writing I read and I was amazed at all I learned and all I forgot I learned and by the amazing people, that although I hardly ever get to see I have the privilege and blessing of calling my friends.
I was surprised how much I had learned over the course of writing on xanga. There were so many things that God had taught me over the years that I had forgotten about. So many wonderful stories about how amazing God is and they were my stories, how cool is that. I was also pleasently surprised by my humor, I find me funny, and I needed to laugh.
It's late and I need to sleep, but even more than I need sleep I needed to be reminded of all God has brought me through and I needed to share that I know he will continue to get me through even when I don't feel that he will.
