Have a little faith...

Meet our new government! Hurray! As some of you might have read on my blog before, I'm totally into politics. Dutch politicans fascinate me. There always seems to be some fighting going on between different parties or even with their own members. Cat fights! Yesterday was a very special day because the ChristianUnion became part of the government. This small party is worthy of their claim to be a christian party. Real positive christians who are not afraid to stand up and defend their beliefs and God.

Over the last few years Holland has become famous for its tolerance of gays, abortion, euthanasia and so on. Not something to be proud of if you ask me. Now I know that Holland is no longer a christian country like it used to be in the 60s so it's unreal to expect all moral values to stay the same. I understand we live in a country with many different nationalities and believes.

So it's even more special that this small christian party gets to join in the government and gets to fullfill two minister positions. The lady in the middle in blue is our Queen Beatrix. Next to her on the left is our prime minister Balkenende. My favorite politican is the one on the front row, second from the left: Andre Rouvoet. He's going to be the Minister of Youth. So cool! A survey among 'the people' showed that he is the one they trust and have confidence in the most. He's has also been voted Best Politican of the Year twice. Isn't it amazing how God can use His people in key positions and that they still remain real examples of faith and not as we say in Holland "add water to the wine". Noone ever thought it would be possible that this small party would be playing such a vital role in determing the course of our country these coming years. I really believe God had a hand in this. So praise Him!
