I know. Have to live to fight another day. But right now it's just a gut punch. All 5 just ordinary citizens who wanted to make a difference who worked their butts off while their opponents just sat back and did next to nothing. My house is a mess. My yard is a mess. Full focus on the campaigns for the last month. Going to regroup, refocus, and pray. The lasting friendships forged in the battle are a huge silver lining, so there is that. But plainly obvious there are 2 Americas.
Sweet friend, resolve to pray first! Our mighty God knows everything and yet, we don't prioritize our need for one on one conversation with our Savior Redeemer. My devotion today was about setting aside time for quiet, patient solitude in the midst of the storm, stopping our daily to give ear to the One who holds the universe in His hands. My patience is waning as the results are released and a great sadness tries to grip me...but I will rest in quiet solitude with our King while he listens to my groaning, my pleas for His guidance and authority. And suddenly I recall the words of Scripture heard so oft repeated by my precious 1-5th grade Sunday school teacher of ore, "He is our refuge, an ever-present help in times of trouble."
You worked so hard, Donna. Disappointing but remember Almighty God is in control. Pray! Stand strong on the truth! Look up!
