The state of the world...

The Economy, the soon to be new President, all of these things have me really nervous lately. I lay in bed some nights and worry about what the future is going to hold for my kids. How bad can this economic crises last? How can it get better? How did we get there in the first place. I thank god that my husband has job, but I'm not overly confident to think that it will be there tomorrow. I pray every night and thank god for what we have, I pray for the United States and pray that it gets better. But I'm really scared. I mean truly scared.

Tyler and I talked about how we got here, and he had some really good things to say, smart, but it made me angry. We as the citizens of the United states have paid our taxes, we've done our part, we've paid out of OUR pockets and here we are.. in this mess... why? Like Tyler said because our Government has stolen from us, they have taken our money and used it unwisely or they stuck in their pockets.. that's why we are where we are. Now I'm not supper smart when it comes to politics and everything that goes with them, but he's right. We've paid our taxes.. why are we in such trouble? Why are we bailing people out of messes they got them self's into? Why is my money going towards that, and not getting my country out of the hole it's in. It's so frustrating and oh so scary. Talk about trust.. we put so much trust in the people we elect and they all are a bunch of liars. I asked Ty if he thought Obama would fix things.. and he said he thinks he's going to be a one term President because he thinks everything he wants to do, he'll realize he can't do and people will be all "hey.. what about what you said you would do?" I dunno. We'll see.. i hope it gets better. I'm worried for my future and my kids future. I can play all kinds of awful scenarios in my head but try to not let those get the better of me.

Take a deep breath and pray that all will be okay.

It's all in God's plan and I try to take comfort in that. Keep praying!!

Phil 4:6-8 Be anxious in nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which
surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.

That verse always makes me feel better when I start getting anxious about Obama and the economy. God bless!
