Greetings My Friend,
Sometimes you get too busy living day to day and don't think about the world around you, that is how my life has gone. I was too busy trying to live with a man who was never happy with me, trying to figure out how to help my child see, talk, figure out his allergies', going to work because my husband's income was not enough for us to live on, going to college and volunteering. I paid a little bit of attention to the news, to my children's education although not enough of either one. One day I wake up in my senior years to realize, what I was taught in school is not being taught to this generation of children, even my own children did not receive the same education I received. Sex education in my day was an explanation of male and female reproductive organs, nothing more. Today I find children have not been taught about the pilgrims coming to America so they worship the God of the Bible instead of having a state Christian religion. Children's sex education may include how to put a condom on, how some families have two parents of the same sex. I also felt that taking my children to church, Sunday school meant the church would teach them their faith, then they would grow up and be a part of a church family. I tried to live a wholesome life, thinking this was Christian only to discover having a personal relationship with Jesus was what God wants, our heart not our actions. I remember after my divorce, I suddenly saw the craziness in which my children grew up in which broke my heart. For a few years I blamed myself for all that was wrong in their lives, one day God convicted my heart telling me I did what I could with what I had. Recently I felt convicted to be bolder on what I post on Facebook, politically, spiritually. I also noticed other people my age being bold in their beliefs, like there has been an awakening of people who have not been heard in years. Many of us feel we have been lied to by our congressional candidates that we voted for what they promised knowing they were going to disregard why we voted for them that is until the last election. Now this silent voice is growing, a desire to undo much of what a few generation of children have learned, attempt to bring God of the Bible back into our country. As I have started posting my beliefs I have felt encouraged to stand my ground in a way I have never stood my ground, I sense our country is headed in a direction that will destroy our freedom so the need to be bold becomes of utmost importance. I see the socialist leanings our nation is turning toward as detrimental. I see socialist countries have never lasted very long, that these nations promise equality. Instead of equality, the government oppresses people more than helps them, healthcare is a mess and getting needed healthcare is minimal at best. When I am challenged today I am able to stand my ground, not cave in worrying I won't be liked. Living for Jesus means I won't be liked because the world hates Him and I am learning that is okay to be not liked. May God bless you and keep you make His face shine on you. Love Janet
