Confessions of a nonvoter

 I didn't vote
Yes I did not vote in the presidental election. Yes a Dominion and CCU alumni, who has been taught the importance of voting since birth didn't vote.
And well as much as I make excuses that I didn't pick a candidate on time, I did it on purpose.
For one the lesser of two evils is still evil.

What is a person to do when she has so many strong beliefs that land on every side of the political spectrum suppossed to do?
I was taught through out school that we should vote for the person who we we believe in who we think should be running our country, and looking out for the greater good. What do we do when we do not see this person?
So it is said we choose the best we can, making sure above all else we choose. But I can't do that I voted in the last election for what I believed to be the lesser of two evils and very much regretted my decision a year later (not to say my person won).  I believe when you vote your are holding part of the responsibility of putting someone in office. And well how could I say put this person in office, when I didn't even want them to be in office in the first place.
So I didn't vote
 I used the freedom that God has given me, and I didn't vote, because I know NO MATTER who wins, and what happens in this country my hope and trust will be placed in God alone.
Pray for the Nation
Pray that Gods will will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Pray for the World and all the rulers and people in it.
