Decision 2012

Much more than just politics, we're talking about the future.

I voted! 

It felt very rewarding to exercise my American right to vote.
The women of the 1920s would feel justified in knowing their struggle has not been dismissed.
I was surprised by how many people simply decided to not vote. The most prominent argument was said person did not want to "waste" a vote due to his/her own lack of information.
ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?
Consider your vote wasted. And shame on you for resigning to ignorance on issues that will affect you, and in a big way!
But alas, Obama was re-elected and I am much more distraught about it this round than the last.  Jesus is King. Period.
Republican majority. Democratic majority. It doesn't matter.
Jesus is King. Now and forever.

Another decision of 2012: Hillsong.
I'm going to continue pursuing this path.
When I was talking with the girls last night about my lack luster pursuit, the Spirit opened my eyes to see that I was fearful of this being taken away.  Everything else I've pursued (nannying in Europe, teaching in Germany, YL abroad, etc) has been stopped short, wayyyyyyy short of completion.  I know that means it was God's will. And that's what I want in my life.
But I guess I just feel like this awesome opportunity is so awesome and I'm so excited about it that it will be taken away from me and I'll be stuck in Suffolk even longer.
Which is weird that I even think like that;
I know and trust in God's goodness.
I know He loves me and only wants the best for me.
I know He only has good for me.
And yet I think he'll take awesome things away from me?!
That doesn't line up at all.
So in faith that He will either keep Hillsong as a desire in my heart and take me to Australia, or change my desire and stop this.
Either way, I do not doubt His love for me.
