Our New President!

Today was a historic day! whether you are a Obama follower or a McCain follower today we elected a new president. Something that I enjoyed about this years election was number 1. I got to vote! I've always had this mindset that "oh why vote it's not like if it's going to count?" well if you think like that, then you're wrong, your vote does count and can make a difference. 2. This election got America to do something together. No matter if you were Republican or Democrat today every American was at the polls voting for whomever they wanted. 3. I enjoyed following the debates and the race for our president. It's weird I never thought I'd like politics, alright I still don't but it gets kind of competitive, I think that's what I enjoyed about it the most.
Today America has elected Barack Obama to be our 44th president, Regardless if you checked his name on your ballot or not, we have a special duty to do for our president and that is to pray for him.

"I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity." -1 Timothy 2:1-2

Celebrating Victories

Living in the MOMENT

Today was one of the best days I've ever had, it was so cool just hanging out with my mom. I know I know I'm a mommas boy but even now that I see her practically everyday I really don't spend that much quality time with her. What amazed me today was what this lady from lenscrafters said about our family. First off she was impressed at how patient I was, to tell you the truth I wanted to be home but I was just there to support my mom and help interpret for her, but I'm glad for twitter kept me busy! anyways her last remark blew me away... so I decided to take a picture of my sister and my mom and we were all just laughing saying that she looked like the Hispanic Sarah Palin (haha not really) and the lady told us "Wow I've never seen a family so close and have so much fun, I enjoyed helping you guys."
As soon as she said that I remembered our new series "30 days to live" and what P. Ant preached about "Living in the moment" why wait till someone tells you when it's your turn to kick the bucket, live out every moment as if it were your last!
