DON'T WAKE THE BEAST!





               



My mom had a way of conveying here wisdom in such a way that would make you laugh and think at the same time. 


When things weren't going well or she heard of a problem between two people she would often say; "When you find your head in a lion's mouth take your time and draw it out."

What she meant was that a lion is a fierce beast, but when he is sleeping he is harmless as a dove. If you are having problem with someone don't get angry and stir anger in the person because you might not be able to escape the fierceness of his or her wrath.

Next time you find yourself in a dispute with someone and feel the need to get angry, remember not to wake the beast. It is best to keep calm and walk away than to wake the lion within the person and get devoured. 

Proverbs 15:1 - A soft answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger.

More Than Conquerors

Dear Friends,            It has been six long months since the last issue of  the Newsletter . I must say it has been a trying time, nevertheless, I will press on  in spite of the obstacles I am facing. Embracing your destiny is never an easy task. There are all kinds of obstacles that we must overcome; fear, doubt, self, people and devices of the enemy. One question we must ask ourselves, "What will it cost me if I don't embrace my destiny?” Too many times we     focus on how difficult it is and not the price we will pay if we don't. We must keep in mind that our destiny is not only for us but those who it will impact. Every day we fail to move one step closer to our destiny, that individual who we are to help spends another day in whatever circumstance he or she is in.   It is imperative for us to know in whom we believe if we are going to fulfill our destiny. We must know that nothing can...
