Well, with the upcoming election tomorrow, I just had to write a little bit down about my thoughts about politics. I named my post so that anyone who doesn't want to read it doesn't have to. But here are my thoughts.
This will be my first time voting. I was only 19 during the last election and honestly care less. Now I see the problem with that, but then, I honestly just did not care at all. But with this being my first election, and with a Mormon and a black man running for President, I guess you could say I got curious. The funny thing is, I REALLY hesitated to give any support to Mitt Romney BECAUSE he is Mormon. I didn't know anything about Mitt and I just got very nervous that having a Mormon man in the lime light could potentially be really bad for us, especially if he were to pull some idiot moves, which by the way, every President has done. I just was nervous of what the effects would be for me religiously if he were elected. This whole mind set of mine did not make my husband too happy. He is happy that I think for myself, but he is just better, I think at knowing more about what he wants and who each of these men are. To make a long story short, through much much research and in talking to current Obama fans, people who used to be Obama supporters and now are not, and people who know a lot about Romney, I will cast my vote tomorrow supporting Romney. Not because he is Mormon, but because, in my humble opinion, he is the man for the job.
That being said, I think it is important for me to say that I think that Obama is a great man who is doing the best with his current knowledge to push our country in the right direction. I believe that he truly does want the best for our country and is constantly fighting for our good. I think both men, whether elected or not,will definitely do their best to help our country. I just happen to agree more with the way Romney is going about it. I wish that people could disagree more without being so mean or ugly. And I am saying that about BOTH sides of the ballot. I have been impressed as well as disappointed by both candidates.
In the end, I trust God. It says that on our money, just in case you are wondering. "In God We Trust". No matter who gets elected, it is part of a plan made by a loving Heavenly Father who loves us and is molding us for something so much greater than we can imagine now. We need to do our part to make this country and world to be a better place, and in the end, we just need to trust Him and know that he is taking care of us.
