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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
