So its late Wednesday night. I am due back at school on Sunday and I am so unmotivated to go back. I am a little excited for one of my classes but as a whole not at all. I got my hair cut yesterday I made a change in celebration of the new president, Mr. Barack Obama. I am excited to see what he brings to the table in America. I am hoping he does good for us, God knows our country needs something good to happen. Lately I have been just angry as can be with America for that matter. Here's the deal. America is one of the most influencial countries in the world and the influece we are giving off is bad, it is raw unadultrated evil. We are leading the world into a dark time. To make matters worse most Christian's have no interest seemingly in making it better. Last night a friend from school posted a note on facebook which just it made me so mad... She was complaining because apparently 67% of A merican's are unsatisfied with how the country has been going for the last several years. She complained that we should be much more grateful, because we live in the greatest country in the world, and we have so many great things. I have a HUGE issue with that. We only have these things because we enslave people in enpoverished nations and force them to work long days in sweatshops for little pay. We would never subject our own countrymen to that and yet we make some poor child in Pakistan do such a thing. Where is the love? We as Christian's should be very upset with this. We should be yearning to see these people set free from this slavery America has put them into.
My heart also broke yesterday when the new president, whom I have grown to like over the last couple months since he was elected, spent so much money on petty parties that had the money been spent in a more appropriate manner 375,000 starving children could have been fed for a year. This devistates my opinion of America more because since again we are one of the most powerful countries in the world we could help to end world hunger if we just led other richer nations in giving to the hungry. What our nation needs is God. For everyone who wants to say God bless America or that we are a "Christian" nation, I challenge you to first consider what our nation is trying to do to God. They want to remove him from our money, from the pledge, and they have already removed him for government buildings. We are not a Christian nation. For whatever small fan base I may manage to get by telling people about this. I pray that God would move on your hearts and show you an alternative to the Christian religion. Do not conform to a religion but rather be transformed. Be transformed by the love God offers you. Become the change, become like the early Christians, lets become the Way. One last thing, I ask for prayer over something that has been laid on my heart, prayer that God will lead me through the stages of doing the very thing He has inspired me to do. If you want to know a little more about this ask me and I am more than happy to fill you in.
