I agree that politics are a rather messy area and sin there is more obvious than in some other professions. I think this election in particular will prove very difficult for Christians. I also know that there is no action or profession that is not tainted with our sin, whether it is visible or not. So there will never be a candidate that we can fully support on every issue. However, such huge issues are at stake in elections (abortion, marriage, immigration, defense of our country) and our silence there could end up doing more damage than help. We are blessed to be able to vote and not just live with the laws of a cruel dictator as so many people do. As Christians we also have the knowledge that God puts people in power and removes them, we need have no fear! For this reason, I vote for the "lesser evil" on the most important issues and pray that God puts His ruler in place to bring whatever peace or tribulation will best serve His purposes and bring Him glory in our country, world, and universe. I do know that there are some people who do not vote in particular elections or any elections, these are just my thoughts.

Sometimes God works behind the scenes in our lives even when we think nothing is happening.... if we keep obeying God (Jesus) and trusting him he will direct our steps.... sometimes that means viewing the little hard things as his will for us too Dont be afraid if you haven't gotten the opportunity to do the big hard things...at nineteen if I compared myself to all the big things others have done I would feel pretty bad, and yet there is no comparing to be done...God has a different plan for each of us You are very important and very loved by Him Jeremiah 29:11 I hope this encourages you :-) your sister in Christ, Holly Rachel,

In went along with what you guys said in your book very well. What an amazing oppotunity to share the gospel (!), and on a secular radio station too! That was such a great interview.

But this is part of Doing Hard Things!...it takes great strength to do something hard, and if you ask God for help, He\'ll bring you through. He doesn\'t give us any more than He knows we can handle!;) Every time I hear somebody say that, it makes me smile, because you know He\'s taking care of you:)! One passage that has always helped me is Psalm 4:9, \"In peace I shall both lie down and sleep, for You alone Lord, make me secure.\" It reminds me that God is in control, and I don\'t need to constantly worry or stress, because, He\'s got everything under control:) Of course I\'ll be praying for you!:) your sister in Christ!, Genna Grace C: I know what you mean, I have a friend in college right now, and her faith is
