It is pretty early here this morning as I am writing this, but I just had to put this down to help ease my mind. I have really had the state of our country laid heavily on my heart for some time now. I don't think it is just because Kevin's career and our life as we have know it for the last 7 1/2 years might be on the line if Obama gets elected, but more that it feels like evil is winning. I try not to even watch the news any more, because it is so depressing! I really don't think that Obama can make the ice caps reform, have world peace with no war and balance the budget all without raising taxes AND most importantly without God on his side!! What scares me the most is our country is so hungry right now for something better, something we should believe in and trust and Satan knows this. Satan is here to steal, kill and destroy! This is the time when we as Christians need to stand firm and trust in the Lord. I was reminded this weekend that God has not given up and neither should we. I have to continually remind myself that God has a plan and he will see it through until the day of completion. As I got up this morning to begin writing this I was looking for one particular verse that I have in my mind, but cant seem to find the exact address (I am horrible with memorization) and was overwhelmed by the number of verses and scripture that the Lord has spoke to us about this very issue. Here is a few that I strongly suggest going to read, they really spoke to me.
Psalm 27: 1-3
Proverbs 10: 29 &30
Isaiah 41:10
**Hosea 4:1-6 **we MUST know the the word of the Lord....we need to arm ourselves!
And this last one I thought I would actually write out, it is one of those verses that I have stored away in my heart and I think of it so often and it is definitely fitting in the situation.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13
So to finish this up I just ask you to please help me pray! Pray for our country and pray for our leaders whom ever they shall be!
Love y'all ~ Randi

Absolutely love the family photos taken on the beach! I really can't say that there was a favorite...they are all so good! The beach theme is always a good place for photos. I saw one similar to the photo with the frame in it, at a local place here and the phott was taken on the beach as well. It looks pretty neat!
