Texting with my niece last night:
Me: If you stay up and Hillary wins pls let me know. if [he] wins let me sleep
Her: Ok will do
Then this morning:
Me: Shit
Her: Yeah I let you sleep
Me: thank you i was having nightmares but I guess they were real
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eight years ago, I was exhilarated, euphoric, and proud. Today I am trying to keep from falling into despair.
This is obviously not the first time my candidate didn't win, and it won't be the last. But it is the first time the outcome scares me. We have chosen a misogynistic, racist, homophobic, narcissist. We have given him a House and Senate that could let him do whatever he wants. I have true fear that he might not be willing to hand over power in 4 to 8 years.
I am grateful that I am a citizen of God's kingdom and my loyalty is there and not here. I will continue to do the next right thing. My faith rests not on human wisdom, but on God's power.
