Well one thing's for sure about Sarah Palin: She is a breath of fresh air. A much badly needed role model of what a courageous, confident, Christian woman looks like in the face of enormous resistance and hostility. No matter what side of the aisle one chooses the truth is Sarah is definitely a role model for most of us. There is no pretense, but the sincerity of her convictions is evident by the way she has been living her life. Sarah is not shy about speaking up when she believes there is something wrong.
I envy her confidence...I want what she has and upon closer inspection, as the bits and pieces of her life prior to the national spotlight become public, we all know why she has the confidence she does. It is her confidence in her Christian faith that she has been living most of her life. Jesus is her moral compass! And as a Christian I have the same confidence in Christ Jesus that she has! No matter the outcome of the election Sarah will be fine because she puts her trust in the LORD. Not man, not political friends, not position or money or any other idol. Just the real thing...Jesus. He is the real deal.
I hope women everywhere are recognizing there is still another alternative for how we live our lives. Prayerful, gracefilled, and confident in the LORD. Most of all courageous. Sarah speaks up. She stated yesterday when interviewing with Sean Hannity that her "faith is her foundation".
I am so grateful for Sarah as a Christian role model for girls everywhere and I realize how important it is to speak up! At the conference two weeks ago in Las Vegas, entitled Deeper Still, Kay Arthur really exhorted us to speak up as Christians when we see things that are wrong. When "truth is broken in the streets." For too long we have been silent letting the truth be twisted and perverted. So ladies...it's time to speak up! Lovingly, without judgement, but it is time to stand up and say "no more, this is wrong." And I am so grateful for Sarah because she is speaking up.
