E Votes

Well not really, but she accompanied mom and dad to the polls. This is a rare post by Steve, as Kate does most of the writing on here. Yesterday was Election Day here in America and a presidential election nonetheless. President Barack Obama was declared the winner. But that is not the only race we voted for.

For the last two years we’ve heard a host of candidates pitch their vision for America. They told us, over and over, what they’d do with the country if they were given executive power over the next four years. And while the Presidency is certainly a powerful position, the truth is there’s another executive whose vision will have a much greater impact over what happens in your life. That executive is YOU. You are the most powerful decision maker in your life. It’s your decisions that will decide what your life looks like four years from now.

We heard great speeches over the last four years, great plans laid out in detail and prose. But have you written your speech? Have you written your letter to yourself, to your family and to God explaining in detail what you’re going to do over the next four years. If you haven’t, you can count on a bunch of people who don’t know you or care about you dictating what’s going to happen in your life. What’s your vision? Why not be the President of your own life? Why not have a vision? Why not execute a plan?
