"My Family" by Taylor aka ~Angel~

Having a family is GREAT! My family is awesome because they always make me laugh. When I am not feeling well or not happy they will cheer me up. The people in my family I think are funny is Phillip my cousin, Ry Ry, Bethany, Brittany and my Mom. We have so much fun hanging out together. I feel so sorry for the kids that are out there in the world without a family or clothes. I am so lucky that I have a family that loves me and is funny. Sometimes we may fuss and disagree but in a real HOT second we are cool again. I just feel so safe because of my family I'm especially glad to have my three big brothers (Micah, CJ and my favorite brother Da'Vaughn). Da'Vaughn makes the whole family laugh. Family is important to me and I am thankful for the love and support they give me. I am so blessed and I thank God for my family and friends.

You know, having a family is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Inspirational Words for Ministers & Pastors-

RUN WITH THE REVELATION!

Amos 3:7 (amp) Surely the Lord God will do nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets. No mater how bright the day, or dark the night, always be open to allow God to reveal His will for your future to you.

NOTHING HAPPENS until He reveals it.

1 ) What scriptures motivate you in your leadership role?
Exodus 13:14 KJV. Leading so that our children and the generations to follow will have a better day, and if they ask why, we can say, “By strength of hand the Lord brought us out…”. Nehemiah 4:6 The PEOPLE must have a mind to work! Lastly, Matt 16:18 because we are connected to something greater than us or what we try to do for others. It’s all about His church that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

2) How should Ministers/Pastors keep balance in their life?
O.I.R.

Outlet: have fun, lose yourself in worship, do something good for yourself, family and others. Always try new things.

Income: Always have money, ideas, new people, and dreams and visions (revelations) “coming in”.

Reset: never be afraid to push the reset button and start all over again. Even if its on the same old project. Sometimes hitting that reset button is the only way to get unstuck, to be able to move ahead.

These three little words (in action) will surprisingly bring about great balance in your life, ability to love and your future.

3) What is an inspiring quote that you have heard/read recently?
“Some people change when they see the light, others change when they feel the heat.” Carol Schrader

By Bishop Joel V. Brown

MOTHERS STEPPING INTO THEIR DESTINY

To: Mothers All Over the World…
Step Proudly Into Your Destiny
By, Chief Apostle Olive C. Brown

We would like to give a round of applause to all mothers, because we celebrate Mother’s Day, May 10, 2009. We congratulate and pay tribute to those who have been blessed with this gift of motherhood.

As a mother, one must be willing to step out into the unknown. Destiny calls, beckons, waves and even whispers, “launch out into the deep.” You must realize beyond any shadow of doubt, the power of God is always present to help bring those desires into fruition.

Isaiah 40:29 and 30, says, “He gives power to those who are tired and worn out, he offers strength… Those who wait on the Lord will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. (NLT)

Step Into Destiny without hesitation or insecurity. Come on; embrace the weight of the Almighty. All fear must go. There must be no residue of pessimism or distrust in the Creator. Believe in His awesome magnitude of influence for your life.

This year, in spite of the unconstructive statements, there will be an explosion of blessings. The divine inspirations and revelations that will come to you quickly are without boundary. Entertain no plans of giving up or throwing in the towel.

Please consider how, God desires to take His Super and place it upon your natural. This will catapult your Destiny in regions never experienced on this wise.

Mediocrity and status–quo will never lead you in the direction of influence the Almighty has promised you. Therefore, lift up your head and rise to those things never experienced. They were positioned in your belly (spirit) for this season. Capture the visions and dreams you may have let go. Nothing is impossible to those who dare believe. (Luke 1: 37)

TAKE STEPS… TAKE RISKS
At one point, you may have become exhausted, frustrated, or even depressed – but I speak hope and a “spanking new” motivation to step back into position. Now, reposition yourself again, Go on and pull down the greater that is now found in you. Take steps, take risks and search for the opportunities, to innovate, grow and improve.

The promises of God are without a stamp of limitation to gender, economic status or even geographical location. They are just as fresh and potent as previously given years ago. It’s yours… just receive and STEP INTO YOUR DESTINY.

We speak divine faith and victory over your life. May you be blessed beyond measures!

Tips for a great relationship!

The old saying goes “It takes two to tango” could not be truer today. Relationships survive when two people both pull in the same direction, working together in harmony. A one sided relationship is bound to fail. Sometimes it’s the little things that can make a big difference

1. Make sure the time you spend together is quality time. You can each have your own space, but plan on setting aside some time each week to do things together. Set up some ground rules from the start. make a plan and stick to the plan.

2. Make a compromise at the onset of the relationship, you’ll watch the big game with him on Sunday but he has to watch a movie with you on Saturday night. Stay flexible and offer a little give and take.

3. When you first fall in love, in your own mind, the other person is entirely void of defects. Don’t lose that all important feeling. The same defects will still be there years from now, always remember, the person you originally fell in love with. Don’t try to make them into something that wasn’t there in the beginning.

4. Couples battle over many things during their time together. The biggest argument producer of all is family finances. Rest assured you are not alone in your situation, even millionaires have financial problems. Work out a budget from the onset and stick to it. Build a little family time into it. Popcorn and a movie at home will save a whole lot more money than a trip to the local movie house.

5. Arguments are a part of every relationship, it’s how you handle them that is the key. Name calling can form a lasting hurt and may come back to haunt you. My mate and I resolved years ago to never go to bed angry insuring that we would never wake up angry. Most arguments are petty in nature and can wreak havoc on relationships.

6. Keep the lines of communication open at all times. Don’t just hear what your partner is saying. LISTEN to what is being said. Keep your emotions in check and weigh both side of the argument.

7. Make it a point from the beginning, you need time alone and they in turn get theirs. Relationships can be choked to death by one partner clinging to and not allowing the other a little space of their own. Happy balances can be easily attained.

Youth Reporter- Christmas

The holidays are coming, so be good. As you know, money is tight this year well that is okay. If you want something it is okay to ask as long as you don’t beg. I want some expensive things but I might not ask for them. If you know what’s going on with our country right now, then you know that you might need to make some sacrifices. Sure you might think Christmas is just about Santa and presents but it is not! It is about love and happiness. The best gift you could give or get is pure LOVE. You can be sad or be happy or you can think about how much your parents and family love and care about you. They are trying to make hard times work out for the better not for the worse. So remember don’t be greedy be grateful. And enjoy your holiday season. Spend time with your family and loved ones while you can.

Happy Holidays!

Your Attitude, Your Choice

By Jerry Ackerman

Your attitude is your choice. Each one of us wakes up with the same 24 hours. Each of us begins every week with the same 7 days. Each of us was born by someone, somewhere. Your attitude each and every day is determined by you regardless of whatever else may be happening, has happened, or will happen. We all have the same time every day and we all have the same choice – what is my attitude going to be? From your work life to your home life, your attitude is reflected to the masses. Based upon how you treat others, how you talk to peers, how you respond to authority, others decide what they think of you. The question that begs an answer from each one of us is, "Will I be a person that has an ‘I can' attitude regardless of my current situation or will I have an attitude that is dictated by that circumstances that surround me?" For many of us, our attitudes are driven by situations rather than having an attitude that rises above the situation.

In your workplace, what do other people think about you? What would others say about your attitude? One experiment that I have always thought would be interesting is to have your closest co-workers gather into a room and share a one word definition for each person. Do you think those you work with could give a one word definition for you? What would it be? Would you be appreciative or offended by the choice of words? Whatever the case, here is the truth; most times what people say is correct and what they say is mostly a result of the attitude they see in you. Attitude is judged quickly. When you meet someone new, you often determined what you think of that person before they even begin speaking. You might think, "I am not that shallow; I measure someone up before I make a determination." Really? Have you ever watched people at the mall as they walk by? Have you ever made a judgment about them from what they were wearing, who they were with, or what they did? The answer for most of us is a definite "yes." If that is indeed the case, how much more do the people you work with have a pulse on your attitude as they work with you day in and day out, week in and week out, month after month? What is your attitude today? Is your attitude showing those around you that you are confident, poised, and in control? Are you allowing your attitude in that situation to control you and, ultimately, bring you further down the path of disappointment and discouragement? Henry Ford once said, "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." How profound. Your mindset going into a situation, a relationship, a project, or your workplace is often determined by mindset you have going into that situation. The choice is yours; the result is from your choice. Live with an attitude of expectancy. Of hope. Of joy. After all, your attitude is your choice.
