RSS Feed (xml)As I sit here watching the Inauguration on television I am in awe. In awe that I am a part of history. My children are part of history. When I was a child I used to wonder what it would be like to witness something grand in our lives. Something that changes our world. Yes I saw the wall come down in Germany, I saw the twin towers come down. I even got to sing at the White House when I was a teen.
But when you are a teen the impact isn’t felt as much as it does today. Yes, my daughter is aware what today represents. But she has no idea what this means for her. Her generation. Her way of life.
As I sit here watching President Obama being sworn in, tears are falling. A new beginning for us all. I’m filled with hope that these four years will be great. Things will change for us. Will he end the war? Will he help our economy? I don’t know. None of us do. All I can do is pray. Pray for wisdom , courage, and strength for a man I do not know but holds the key to our country.
I pray for the First Lady, that she will be the encouragement he needs, that she is his support, his rock. That God will be number one priority for the First Family. I pray for the First Daughters, that they will seek out Christ as they deal with the adjustments of life in the White House.
May God bless President Obama and his family in the years to come.

My tears poured as well. Much to the confusion of my children. But they watched our new President be announced as he walked out to the podium, they bowed their heads during the prayer, they stood during the swearing in and clapped during the speech. My hope is that, although they really don't understand, they will remember this and be able to say when they read about it in their high school history books, I watched that with my momma as she cried! :)
what an amazing time in history isn't it. i pray for both the obama's and hope the leaders of our country can direct us in the right direction.
definitely a historic moment!
My little man was awake when President Obama was sworn in, it happened at first by accident that he woke up, and then I didn't put him back to sleep. What an amazing moment in our history. I also loved his speech.
I join you in praying - lets hope that he will be the answer. I fear so much is expected of him that no matter what he does he will not be considered fulfilling his promise. I pray we all will have the patience to allow him to work.
Beautiful post! I shed some tears too. The impact yesterday made on so many, it's incredible. New hope, renewed faith...in so many things. He's got a long road ahead, but I'm pretty sure he can tackle this.
Beautiful prayer... It will be interesting to look back at this event years from now.
This was so beautifully written!
