Decisions, Decisions...

Even though things are fairly quiet on the political front, there are some very significant decisions that are being made that will affect many things within our province. 

First and foremost, the Premier is the in the midst of choosing a Cabinet that will assist in providing leadership and oversight to the various ministries within our province.  With the loss of Wally Oppal and the resignation of John van Dongen, two very important roles will need to be filled by experienced MLA's.  It's important for everyone that the right people be in the right places so that our province will experience the greatest benefit.

Second to the choosing of the Cabinet would be the question of a new budget being presented.  Economic conditions in BC continue to reflect global realities and it may well be that what was presented in February will no longer be a reasonable plan to follow as we move forward.

I'm more convinced than ever that we have underestimated our role and impact in praying for those who govern over us.  It's only the church who can invoke God's blessing and help on behalf of our leaders.  Because we know that God is always faithful, we can be confident that as we pray, He will be working and moving in sovereign and powerful ways within the lives of our leaders and in those who surround them.

Thanks for praying with us.  We are making a difference!

Looking Towards the Future

For the past 28 days, we have been praying that God would use this election to accomplish His purposes for our province.  Last night, the BC Liberals were re-elected to another 4 year term.  There are difficult decisions to be made with regard to the current economic situation.  These challenges will be front and centre as the Government moves forward. 

Premier Campbell and his team need God's wisdom and strength as they move forward into the future.  There are cabinet positions to be assigned that are crucial to the future prosperity and health of our province.  Those assignments will determine much of what happens over the next 4 years. Pray with us that good and right choices will be made that will benefit all British Columbians.

Finally, every MLA will need some time to catch their breath and begin the process of preparing for the next 4 years.  Pray that God will give them strength and wisdom moving forward.
