Susan L. Taylor  once said: "Fill your heart with faith, knowing that God doesn't give you a mission without also giving you the power to bring it to fruition."

As I was reading my August issue of Essence, I enjoyed reading Susan Taylor's "In the Spirit," and in this issue, it just really blessed me. "Make It Easy On Yourself" she said: "We release our struggles when we begin to see life as a teacher and a good friend, not a foe. For some, this is true. We spend our lives feeling afraid, like kids under a bright noon sky who close their eyes tight and feel frightened of the dark. We must open our eyes. See the brilliant light all around us. What brings us joy and fulfillment is God's wish for us. Making these critical moves will help God help us live fully in the light." This one paragraph really started me to think "where is my Faith in God?" What am I afaird of? Susan also said: "Come Out of Hiding, Be Determined, Make Wise Investments and most of all ‘Take Your Life Back.'" I hope you have heard what I am saying, remember who you are and in Christ keep the Faith and stay focused.

The weather is quite warm stay as cool as you can, drink plenty of water, and  watch your health.

BE BLESSED
