We got great news this weekend about the young guy who came to our farm back in September. On that day he came to speak to all the homeschoolers that were at our farm for a picnic about his aspirations to be a Christian in the political realm. He was campaigning to be the newest (and youngest) Progressive Conservative nominee for our area. On Saturday night we all went to vote for him. It would have been very easy to say we didn't have time or we were too tired. I had just come back from another seminar I had given 2 hours away, lots of driving, so I was tired and just wanted to go home. My husband was also tired and had been working hard all day. But we knew this was super important, so we grabbed the ones who were old enough to vote and off we went.
This guy was up against lifetime politicians. He really shouldn't have won if you look at it logically, but the Christian community really rallied together. He had a lot of people volunteering for him, making phone calls, writing letters, knocking on doors, including our kids one night. But, to everyone's amazement, he won! He is so incredibly articulate for being just 19 years old. His acceptance speech was wonderful and at the very end he thanked his Heavenly Father for being with him throughout the whole campaign. He is not ashamed of his faith, that was clear. So now we are praying he will go on and do great things for God.
Everyone's awake again.....breakfast to make, laundry to wash, kids to teach....the week has begun!
