I'm not gonna lie, I was disappointed to hear Obama reelected as president. I was really hoping for Romney to take office, although I was guessing Obama would win over Romney. I was hoping for something out of the ordinary to happen. And that just isn't in the cards for America right now. But no matter what happens, somebody is going to disagree and be unhappy.
One of my good friends said, "If the election doesn't come out the way you want it to, please remember that the voters voted the way the voters voted. Obama is not a socialist or the anti-Christ. Romney is not a puppet to religious leaders or an elitist. These are both smart, qualified men. The policies they portray may have either a positive or negative effect on the country. If you are upset over the election, please allow it to be for political, issue-based reasons...not because you're a Republican or a Democrat...or because you like or dislike the personality, religion, or race of an individual candidate."
I personally believe that Heavenly Father is involved in the details of our lives. Just as He has a plan for my life, He has a plan for everything, including this country. We have to remember He knows everything; He sees the big picture. It is all in His hands.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said, "The future of this world has long been declared; the final outcome between good and evil is already know. There is absolutely no question as to who wins because the victory has already been posted on the scoreboard."
Our decisions and choices are not insignificant in the eyes of the Lord. He knows the intents and desires of our hearts, and He will be the ultimate judge. Continue to live righteously, trust in Him, and have hope. Just remember, He wins in the end. :)
