Yesterday is history And history is miles away
So, leave it all behind you
But let it always remind you of the day
The day that love made history

A lot of things are being said about history being made today so it made me think of this song. And that day my friends, is the day that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. And that love is the love that our God has for us, then and always.
Honestly, I don't know what kind of history is being made and what is going to happen from here on out, but I pray that it will be okay. And I pray that regardless of what is happening in our world, that we always remember who is our true leader, because it is not a man here on earth. It is very important what is going on here in the world, but it certainly isn't what is most important...because we will all die at some point, and then that's when the real journey starts, because eternity is a heck of a lot longer than however long we have on this earth. Which is why I am probably going to spend a whole lot less time online. I need to focus on the real "race" in this life!
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
-Hebrews 12:1-3
Love you all and more importantly, Jesus loves you, more than you could possibly imagine! ("no matter who you are or what you have done" -Romans 3:22)

God Bless you all and God Bless America!

Thank you for saying this. ♥

Sad as it is, people just don't understand it. How important it is.

Of course, babe. ♥
They will someday, hopefully before its too late!
Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn,
my mouth has uttered in all integrity
a word that will not be revoked:
Before me every knee will bow;
by me every tongue will swear.
-Isaiah 45:22-23

I don't know if you ever saw the movie "Evan Almighty" (you really should though ... good movie), but something in your post made me remember a quote from the movie, where Evan's wife is complaining to God (well, she doesn't realize he's God of course ... she just thinks he's a fast food guy) about how this isn't what she wanted in life. Morgan Freeman, who does an awesome job of playing a wise, yet somehow impish God, replies:

"lemme ask you something ...if someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience, or does He give them the opportunity to be patient?

if they prayed for courage, does God give them courage, or does He give them the opportunity to be courageous?

if someone prayed for their family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm, fuzzy feelings or does He give them opportunities to love each other?"


I know that isn't specifically from the Bible or anything, but I love the interpretation. I love the idea that God isn't just all about fixing things for you, or just taking you by the hand and doing it all for you, but rather helps us and guides us by allowing us the opportunity to grow through both our successes and our mistakes ... something about that just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Oh, absolutely! I've seen references to that same type of concept before too and now I wish I can think of where from lol. But yeah, I definitely believe that is true.
Never seen the movie though, that's the one with Steve Carrel right? I've seen the one with Jim Carrey, Bruce Almighty right?
I pray that this election is one of those opportunities! Regardless of how things go from here in this nation and in the world, we can still prevail, because the victory is already won by Christ! ;)

Thanks for this reminder Diana. It's so very true what you said, and I'm so thankful that we have one true leader that loves all of us. :) *hugs*
