Millions across the nation voted in yesterday’s presidential election, and as of writing this, the vote is too close to call. Charlotte Pence Bond, daughter of the 48th Vice President Mike Pence, is encouraging American’s to remain calm because no matter what, God has a plan.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to encourage you: if you\u2019re nervous today \u2014 on election day \u2014 just remember that God has a plan for us,\u201d she asserted. \u201cRegardless of the results of elections, we respect the person who God has placed in authority.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bond said this to her listeners on her podcast “Doubting It”. She also shared a touching story of how her family’s faith in God led them to the white house.<\/p>\n
Back in the 2000s, Mike Pence and his wife, Second Lady Karen Pence, took a hiking trip. At the time, Pence was debating if he wanted to run for congress again after two unsuccessful bids.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mom and my dad are standing on this cliff \u2026 and they look out over the cliff and they see these two hawks and they\u2019re flying,\u201d Bond explained. \u201cBut they\u2019re not flapping their wings, they\u2019re just kind of gliding together, and the wind is just kind of carrying them along.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mom says to my dad, \u2018If we\u2019re going to run again, we\u2019re going to run as those two hawks \u2014 no flapping\u2019,\u201d Bond continued. \u201c\u2018We\u2019re going to let God carry us up to a position or not. We\u2019re going to glide … we\u2019re not going to try to get there on our own.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Four years later, Pence would become Vice President of the United States. From that moment on the cliff on, the family realized that they had to put all their trust in God to guide the direction of their lives.<\/p>\n
Bond finished by saying that it is powerful to recognize the \u201cways that God is faithful.\u201d She added, \u201che does have a plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
