I'm looking at CNN online, watching their video posts and I came across the one showing Barack Obama arriving and voting with his family.


I am going to vote after work. I'm going home to pack a bag of activities and snacks for my 2-year-old. Then my husband, son, and I are going to get in line at the poll. I am so excited. I got emotional watching the video of Senator Obama voting. I loved the fact that he had his daughters with him. My hubby and I were discussing last night what we were going to do with Jo Jo while we go to vote. My mother lives nearby, so we were considering taking him to her house while we wait in line. I so honestly wanted Jo Jo to be with us. He may not remember this in 10 or 16 years, but I want to remind him later in life so that he'll be able to recall that he was part of this historical event. No matter what the result, this election in itself is historical. There is so much at stake and so many possibilities of change, that this election will not soon be forgotten.

I truly believe that we are in God's hands. God is sovereign and he knows what's best for his people, and the people that rely on him....and those that don't. For example, gas was over $4/gallon like a week ago. Yesterday, my neighborhood gas station had gas at its lowest for the week at $2.09/gallon.

The Lord knows my money is funny and my change is strange!

I believe that our country will have the leader that will be best suited to lead our people. We have gotten so far away from morals and standards that this country was first built on, and as a result we are witnessing (or have witnessed) its decline. I do so hope that things will get better. But all is just a sign of the times: the wicked become more so and the day gets more evil. But God is still on the throne and as long as our will is His will, he will take care of his own.
