The count is on- in less than 24 hours a new president will have been sworn in. Before him came forty-three other men, all known for what they did or didn’t do while occupying the office. As of today, all I am hearing about is the history being made by the swearing in of the first black president. In four years is that how he will still be known?
How long before Obama becomes known as “the American President?” How long before he is know for what he does or does not do while in the office of the President instead of his skin color?
A true leader leads. Not by color, race or sex but by looking out for those who are following. When it is time for people to write my epilog I hope that it will tell what I have accomplished for God while living on this earth not just a catalog of physical qualities.
What do you think?
About Me
- Cathryn
- A wife and mother for over 30 years, Cathryn lives in North California. She feels truly called by God to teach women of all ages how to apply God's word in today's world. Her writing and teaching is most definitely from the Holy Spirit, as it is something she never would have tried on her own. It was a gift of the Spirit she discovered after years of living in a cocoon of safety. God has called her forth, now she is helping other women gain confidence enough to leave their cocoon of safety and be the beautiful creation God design them to be.

My prayer & hope is that President Obama will not stop being referred to as the first black president, and realize he is a human being, God's child who is trying to make a difference in this world. Just like some of us; one life at a time. Obama could use our support and prayer. Prayer changes things and has the power to change the course of our nation and history.
