As electors gather in state houses across our great nation to cast their votes for our next president, our faith and hope should not be in faithless electors; our faith and hope should be in God. When I campaigned for Hillary Clinton, my hope wasn’t in her, my hope was in God, maker of heaven and earth. She was simply my candidate of choice, the most qualified and proven candidate.

Moms, dads, grandparents, when your children or kids question you about today, a day when men and women have the power to choose between a man who’s a racist, neo-nazi, misogynist, bigot, fascist and bully who brags about sexually assaulting women, and a woman who as Alexander Hamilton stated in the federalist papers is “in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications,” teach them about the power of choice and the ramifications of our choices. Assure them that no matter how the electors vote today, God is in control. He chooses who reigns. In the NIV, Proverbs 8:15 says:

“By me kings reign
    and rulers issue decrees that are just.”

As you can see in this photo of my mom and me in front of the Massachusetts State House, I have my hakuna matata face on, because our faith is not in faithless electors. Our faith is, has been and will always be in God. I’ll quote my President, Barack Obama, on what should worry us as Americans, “What I worry about the most more than anything is the degree to which because of the fierceness, because of the partisan battle, you start to see certain folks in the Republican Party and Republican voters suddenly finding a government and individuals who stand contrary to everything that we stand for as being OK, because that’s how much we dislike Democrats.”
