Trusting God With The Results Of The Presidential Election
Norwich Assembly of God

Waking up today was extremely rough for me as I'm sure it was for many other people. I'll be honest and say that I wasn't a fan of either presidential candidate and they both made me nervous for our country. The one thing that got me through all of the presidential debates and stories in the media about both candidates was prayer and my faith in God. I knew that no matter who won the election, I would wake up today feeling nauseous. As a young woman, I obviously wasn't thrilled to see Donald Trump win the election. I find him disrespectful and want to make it clear that I found his comments about women appalling and disturbing.I also think that he should have had some kind of public consequences for his remarks about women and I do think that he should have made a public apology of some sort. But even if that never happens and I really don't think it will, I trust God because when everything is crumbling around you, He doesn't.

Before the results of the election came out, I set it in my heart that I would trust that God had a plan for our country and pray for whichever candidate won the election even though, I personally didn't agree with either one of them. I understand that many people might not agree with what I'm saying, and that's okay. I'm not asking everyone to agree with me or even say that I am right. But what I am saying, is that from my position as a young woman in America, the only thing I can do in the aftermath of this election is pray. I am going to pray with all my heart that God is sovereign over our government and president. Even if I don't like Donald Trump, I'm still going to pray that God is bigger than him and the decisions he makes. I just want to encourage everyone who is scared and confused about the results of this election by saying that it's not out of God's hands.Things certainly seem scary right now, but I truly believe that prayer can move mountains so I'm going to pray for our president and our country with all of my heart because to me, that is the best thing that I can do right now. So if you get anything from this article I hope that it's this, have to hope and pray for our president and country because prayer and faith is what changes things and right now, it's what we need.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
