History Repeats Itself

For my birthday my amazing friend Candie got me a set of the History Channel's series on the Presidents of the United States. It's something so magical about that office, it demands  attention and respect and is known in the least of countries. You could go to Kazakhstan and they would know of the office of the President of the United States. The amazing thing about history is that you can revisit it time and time again and you will find something new about it that you missed the first time and it also tends to relive itself. Tonight I went to the Governor's debate/Gubernatorial debate and I left it feeling lost and empty, not just because I don't see any of the candidates fixing the problems that overwhelms our great state, but more because of some stuff I read in a blog. I found myself in my amazing intern Virginia's car completely confused and lost for no reason. Then from those little cute lips she said "it's not about you?" then she finished,  "Why are you trying to carry the whole world on your back?" Well it didn't all connected until later that night when I realized that President Lincoln was my favorite President and not Jefferson. When Lincoln took the office of The President of the United States, he had no intention of freeing slaves or giving equal rights to black men. Lincoln was an ugly man who was found attractive by his wit. From childhood he was driven to make something of his life, to climb from the poverty of the log cabin he was born in. The thing that no one knows about the 16th president is that he was complex and a depressed man. He was very enjoyable in public but suffered  from prolong sadness and upsessed over matters. What I suffered from in Virginia's car was the fact that I felt useless to God, I felt like I had done nothing with my life. I have realized after tonight that the reason history is repeated is because God proves himself over and over again to men, that no matter what you are he will use you, it's the way he proves he is real. God used Moses whom was a murderer to split waters, turn rods into snakes, and become one of the most revered figures of the Bible. God used discples who were nothing and Paul who hated him. The lord used Washington whom was a poor farmer's son with no college degree to start this country, and used Abe who also had no college degree to fix one the most complex problems between bothers in this country. I'm not trying to call myself Abraham Lincoln but I will say God has prove through this subject I love so much that a man's name nor face, skin color or past, matters, not when he is changing the world because he fills our empty souls and moments of longing with missions of greatness. We should all know the Lord is our sheapard and we shall not want for he maketh us to lie down in green pastures, he knows our wants and desires and has never left us empty even though we feel like it. For if we didn't feel this way there would be no priorty to achieve the greatness set before us, we would be content with where we are in life. God reveals himself through history through repeativeness. On  April 12 1861 when Fort Sumter went down to the Confedrate Army. It's tattered, rip flag was brought to New York and hung from a building as a battle cry much like the flag that was displayed across New York that was from the two towers that fell on 9/11. In 1861 the northern citizens began to wave their flag proudly,just like we did in 2001. Abe's mission was given when he was born but wasn't realized until the war had already began, and wasn't assured until he was re-elected when he wrote, "Malice towards none and Charity towards all!" God didn't make Abe the Great Emancipator but God developed the Great Emancipator and eventually made him the lover of his brothers to the south. So if you feel like you don't have the ability to push humanity forward, or change the world in which we operate, don't worry for the Lord's ability isn't limited to any face and History repeats itself. God Bless You, God bless These United States of America, and may God continue to repeat himself in the history of humanity.
