Generally I have tried to stay out of politics after learning my lesson in 2004. Or so I thought. Now we are in that part of the four year cycle where candidates do exactly what American mothers tell their children not to. Lie and attack others. This got me thinking about how I seem to absorb the negative press and start labeling others. I don't see anybody around this time as people to love, but party associated delegates here to agree with my opinion or stupidly go against it. Why? Because I am right and anyone who can't see that is ignorant.
This is how I think, labeling people who don't agree with me and associating them with the party I don't like. Their ideas are just as dumb as their party's.
Where is God in this whole thing? To me nowhere. He's waiting in the background hoping that that guy he wants to be elected gets elected. Wondering if he will be able to accomplish his all sovereign plan for the next four years.
This is not a mentality that I want to continue to carry. I don't want to see people as labels, because to be honest I have my own. It doesn't define me nor does it dictate my life. I can't let the election affect how I see people around me everyday. People that need to hear that God has a bigger plan for their life no matter how bad the economy gets and no matter who is in "power". And I need to remind myself that no power is given in Heaven or on earth that has not been set since the beginning of time.
