Who Are We Becoming?

No matter who is President, I promise you that Jesus is still King.

Who Are We Becoming?

I am so sick and tired of all of the hate due to the Presidential Election. I know that people are upset that Trump is going to be President. Does criticizing his supporters change that fact though? Blaming others does not fix the problem. Slowly our Country is dividing and the problem does not lie with the government. The problem lies with the PEOPLE. Each and every person who is criticizing others for their support on either candidate is the problem. They are the reason our Country is dividing.

I, personally, do not agree with either of the candidates we were given.They both had so many issues and I cannot believe that they were the two we had to choose from, but they were our choices. America chose Donald Trump. I am scared and worried about our future, but I cannot change what has occurred. Instead of rioting, how about praying? No matter who is President, I promise you that Jesus is still King. Jesus still sits on His throne and nothing will change that.

I am beyond pissed that people are burning the America flag. You have to be 18 years old to vote. Did maturity skip these adults? The men and women who fought and/or fight for our freedom do not deserve your blatant disrespect. You are not hurting Trump by burning our flag, you are hurting those families that lost their loved ones who fought for our freedom. You are hurting those who are now disabled due to them serving their country. Men and women put their lives on the line everyday for idiots who do not deserve it. If you do not like or care for America anymore, then please do us all a favor and LEAVE.

I have friends that voted for Clinton and friends that voted for Trump. I refuse to throw away our friendship because of who they voted for and their opinions. We are all entitled to our opinions. In the words of one of my favorite teachers, "This has become the United States of the Offended." America is supposedly built on diversity but the second someone disagrees with you, you feel offended.

Some people will probably be extremely upset with me for this article. Yes I am white. That means nothing to me. I have friends of all races, religions, and beliefs. I love every single one of them. I would do anything for any of them which includes taking in their opinions without being offended. Donald Trump may very well be a racist pig. He probably is and I do fear for those I love, but there is nothing I can do about it now. Yelling, screaming, and rioting will not change anything. The only thing that I can count on is the promise of God. I can pray to God to give Donald Trump guidance on how to run our Country. I pray for his heart and I pray for America. Why do I pray? I pray because I am a mature young adult who knows that acting like an idiot will NOT do anything for me.

Please do not throw up the fact that I can say all of this because I am white. I KNOW I AM WHITE. I cannot help my race at all. It is not my fault that I am white. Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I am not racist or judgmental in anyway. I love everyone and that is why I hit my knees and pray. Try it. God can make miracles happen.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
