The important topics of life: Love, politics and religion

Life is good. I have been really happy lately. That may partially have to do with the fact that I have been dating a wonderful guy, who honestly treats me so well and just inspires me to be a better person. We have a lot of fun together.
His name is Rob Garside and we met dancing about a month ago. He asked me to dance twice, and after the second dance told me that he would kick himself later if he didn't ask me on a date. So he got my number, but was hesitant to call and took a week and a half to call me up. But, since our first date, we have spent a lot of time together and things are going really well. One step at a time, but for now things are great!

The election has come and gone. While I tell people that I am moderate, I truly am more right winged than left. And the thought of having Barack Obama as a President left me a bit nervous, because of his policies that I struggled with. However, I am confident that the Lord will bless him these next four years.
I realized something recently. I think we sometimes forget really where we need to go to find a solution for the problems in this world. We forget who really is in control. While it is our responsibility to vote for the best candidate and be involved as much as we can or desire... ultimately the right answers to resolving the problems in this world and in our country will come from inspiration from our Father in Heaven. He is in control, and He knows more than we or any President-elect will ever know. My prayers will be directed towards the leaders of this country, and that they will have the humility to turn to the One that really is in control and can inspire them to do what is best for this country.

God Bless America, and those who serve.
