About Barbara Fisher

Hello there. My name is Barbara Fisher and I am a new on the blogosphere. I have thought about doing this for sometime as I can be very opinionated about things and sometimes too much for Facebook. I am a married and the mother of two adult children, and the grandmother of seven. I am a Christian and have recently just moved my membership to a Reformed Baptist Church. I retired December 2012, and that has afforded me this opportunity to not overwhelm Facebook with my thoughts. I hope you find my blog – thought provoking, engaging, and interesting. Please let me know what you think. This is one venue where your feedback is the juice craved to keep going and going.

Congratulations, President-Elect Trump

Yes, Mr. Donald Trump has had an historic victory. He will be our next President of the United States. I did not vote for him, but I accept the election results because I know that he has been ordained to be by God.

However, as the returns were coming in, my stomach was nervous. I was anxious. I finally decided to go to bed because I couldn’t take it, only to get up about an hour later, and then this:

“But God is the judge, he putteth down one and setteth up another.” Psalm 75:7 KJV

That’s the scripture that came to mind, and from then on I was able to watch the coverage, watch his supporters celebrating, and watch Mr. Trump give a gracious speech.

As I stated before, we must pray for our leaders. We must pray for President-Elect Trump. This is how we live out our profession of faith.

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God. Romans 13:1 KJV

The election was hard fought, but it is now over. Now, I pray that our nation will come together.

May God bless America. May he give us hearts to return to him.
