Let Rory Feek calm your post election nerves with his wise words

It’s official, Donald Trump is now President Elect Donald Trump. No matter who you voted for, you’re probably waking up today with a bit of an election hangover and your mind, body, and soul is likely in a state of shock (whether it be happy or fearful shock). So now what?

I don’t have an answer for that. Thankfully, Joey+Rory’s Rory Feek does. His answer? No matter what, everything is going to be okay.

In a new post today on his This Life I Live blog, Feek begins with some soothing words for his readers. It’s a message I think everyone should take to heart.

I didn’t stay up late last night and watch the election or keep checking the computer for the results. Instead I went to bed early. Not because I didn’t care, but because I did care. I have a very strong feeling about where we are today. It’s the same feeling I had last night and all the nights before that.

Everything’s going to be okay, even if it’s not okay.

I believe that. I have to. I’ve learned to. Sometimes things happen in life that don’t seem to make sense, and they’re scary, because you don’t know what the future holds. But God has a plan bigger than the one I can see and I have to trust Him.

It might get worse before it gets better though. My family can attest to that. But in the end, we are where we are for a reason, and someday – maybe not in this lifetime, or even this side of heaven – we’ll see things in a different light. I believe that too.

And in the meantime, though the world seems dark and scary… there are rays of hope that bring a smile back to our faces and renew our faith in mankind.

Rory continues his blog post by telling about a special guest that will be performing on his farm this Saturday . If you’d like to read the full story, you can do so here. It’s a heartwarming blog post.

Anyway, on this odd day in American history, just remember today to stop, take a breath, and smile because everything’s going to be okay in the end. And if nothing else, the next election is only four years away.
