trump – A Woman Standing

As A Christian, There Is No Choice

Although I have never shied away from my support for Donald Trump since he first took the debate stage in 2015, in public, I often state my reasoning for such support is due to his policies. I am a “build the wall”, help our veterans, pro-school choice, pro-fracking, and imposing tariffs on Chinese goods kind of gal, so my promotions of the man should be expected.

But, what I do not discuss as often when talking about politics to a friend or a neighbor is my support for Donald Trump due to my Christian faith. Many Christians refuse to support Trump due to their disdain for his personality. Such Christians desire someone who speaks correctly, never ruffles feathers and solely sticks to the talking points. They want someone who is presidential in character and eloquent in tongue.

That, clearly, is not Donald J. Trump.

For years, we have allowed such reasoning to go unquestioned. Christians, such as myself, have defended Trump’s policies but have listened as fellow Christians expressed their frustration towards the man due to his personality, his posts online, that rude thing he said two decades ago, or the insult he threw during a debate, resulting in their refusal to vote for him.

But, this election, such frustrations are no longer a valid excuse for Christians not to support Donald Trump for President in 2024.

Why? Because it is truly unacceptable for any God-fearing, Bible believing Chrisitan to vote for the Democrat nominee.

I can already see the eye rolling, cringing, and hear the huffs and puffs from holier-than-thou Christians at such a statement.

But, it is true, and allow me to tell you why.

This Is Why

This is why I fight, this is why I pray, this is why I will not let go until victory comes.

I work, I fight, to free the underprivileged, the hurt, the abused, the depressed, the victims.

As I sit here, looking at the pictures sent to me of Nigerian orphans, many newly orphaned due to terrorist attacks on their Christian parents, my heart breaks.

I pray for the boys and girls who have lost everything, the women whose husbands vanished while trying to keep them safe, the men whose wives were stolen from them.

What Do We Deserve?

My thoughts often turn to the season we are in as a country, as a church and as a Remnant. With the election less than four weeks away I find I am praying for November 3, 2020 more than I have ever prayed for a day in my entire life.

I do not believe we are in a season we in the 21^st century have ever witnessed. I firmly believe the outcome of the election will dictate our daily lives like we could never imagine. Whatever news we wake up to on November 4, 2020 will change us forever, if we like it or not.

I spent most of last week listening to testimonies of individuals who have experienced, either firsthand or through loved ones, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) concentration camps. While listening to the testimonies, I often thought, “how is it possible this is happening yet nobody is talking about it?”
