Now that the 2012 Election is finally over, I’m sure you have all seen emotions running high. For some, it was a great night, and for others, not so much.
Election night here in North Carolina was an amazing victory for Conservatives! We finally reclaimed our status as a red state. We now have a Governor and a Lieutenant Governor to match our Conservative legislature. We reelected a Supreme Court Justice that we desperately needed. And we unseated an entrenched, Liberal congressman despite the odds. To say the least, North Carolina had a fantastic night, and we most definitely redeemed ourselves from our momentary lapse of judgment in 2008! Unfortunately though, I can’t share the same great news for the rest of America.
Instead of electing a new President with new ideas, Americans chose to have four more years of the same failed policies. Instead of taking back the Senate, Americans chose to keep the people in who are incapable of even producing a budget. Instead of preserving for the future, Americans chose to continue down the path of more debt, fewer jobs, and bigger government. Without a doubt, we suffered a devastating loss last night. But even with that said, all hope is not lost!
As much as I hate the outcome of the Presidential race, and many other races around the country, this is not the time to lose faith, and it’s not the time to go around being a Debbie Downer and a Negative Nancy! Sure, four more years of Obama is a very scary thing and it’s going to takes its toll on our country. But as history as proved time and time again, America is stronger than one, failed President with two terms. This great country has been through much greater tales of adversity than what we’re experiencing today. Just look back to our Founding Fathers and what they went through to create the United States of America. They beat the odds, and with God’s grace, we will too!
Despite this loss we Christians and Conservatives must keep in mind this truth: No matter who our President is, no matter which states are red or blue, no matter what these next four years will bring, our God still reigns!
We don’t know what the future will hold, but the one thing that brings me comfort, and that I know for sure, is that God has a perfect plan that is far greater than anything we can imagine and at the end of it, Jesus wins!
We shouldn’t waste our time wallowing. Instead, we must learn from our mistakes and continue to fight for what we know is right.
You are so right. My worry….ya, I know, the Lord tells us not to worry. Anyway, the policies/laws left behind after Obama leaves office in another 4 years. Yes, continue to pray for this nation and our leaders.
Hi Maddy,
Great article and focus to followup the results of the election.
God placed it on my heart to pray for our President. He has a very tough job and like him as he is now or not, we should be praying for him. We should pray his heart is open to the direction and leading of our nation under God and by God’s wisdom and love. President Obama is now free to do his will (no more elections), let us pray his heart is one like King David, after God’s own heart.

God gave us the President we as a nation deserved.
Thank you young lady. This is a pep talk I really needed. May God bless you.
guess what? america has become liberal. gay marriage and weed passed in many states. an overwhelming victory in the senate and for obama. im a christian myself, but I believe in the separation of church and state. and also? the republican party needs to realize : a social policy of the 1950s with not take them far.
I don’t know of any Christian who DOESN’T believe in the separation of church and state. So I have no idea what you are implying.
The popular votes show that the Dems did NOT have an “overwhelming victory.”
The Republican party social policy is much more in line with God’s than is the social policy of the Demokrats, which is 100% immorality and degeneration.
Then you must not know any Christians. Not any real ones, anyway. There’s no separation of church and state. Not in the Constitution. And the only time it comes up is when a CHRISTIAN exercises their CONSTITUTIONAL right to evoke God or Jesus in public. And only because somebody wants to squash it.
No actual Christian in their right mind would give approval to such malarkey.
I am and know real Christians. Yes there is a “Separation of Church and state” in that the State has no right to interfere with the Church. The constitution states that Congress will make no law respecting the establishment of religion or the free exercise thereof.
The purpose was to not have a state-run religion as was happening in Europe. That is a separation of church and state.
Too many people nowadays take that to mean the church is to have no influence, nor are religions symbols, etc to be permitted by state sanction. This of course is pure nonsense.
My comment was for John to clarify what he means.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
Goodness, this is why I don’t like you conservatives. You make everything about your religion, you even want the government to make laws abiding to the Bible! That’s ridiculous! This is a nation for everyone, not just you people. The only reason gay marriage is still illegal is because you lot think you own the title marriage, and are keeping rights from everybody else! No, I’m not gay, I’m just a rational human being.
