A Better Me
I have already made my declaration [ legal transaction] for the new year: A Better Me!. The seed has already been planted, unequivocally, it will produce a better me –a wiser and prosperous me.
Thereby, I will trust in His word, knowing that it will produce something great for the new year. Quintessentially, greatness will resonate and bless all who I connect with. My joy shall remain and I shall producing fruit that will remain. I look forward to a better me–a conscious me and a victorious me–from A-Z.
Become A Better You
Forgive and release your blessings
Allow humility to humble you
Fear God and not man–then you will stand in the will of God and not what’s popular
Beseech the Lord with prayer & fasting– allow His word to cleanse the heart
Only believe –have faith in God
Allow your naysayers to have their say– it will only produce an anointing that will propel you into your destiny
Write your vision–stay focused until fruition
Don’t take it personal–avoid an obscured vision, but seek the panorama view
Bless and not curse–it will keep a healthy heart
Focus on your salvation–it will prohibit your superficial judgement of others
Make positive declarations–refrain from negative discourse or capricious words
Sow to reap a harvest–sow love, time, etc
See yourself as an overcomer–expect to be blessed and bless others. Others will expect you to abort the plan–allow them to stay tuned while you become a better you.

Overcome the Obstacles of Life
Overcome the Pressures of Life-Have Faith in God
Through unconsciousness, you are subjugated to your emotions, which lends itself to uncertainty and misjudgment.
Once on an endless desert road, a man thought it not possible to overcome the obstacles of life. He wondered if he would make it to the nearest gas station which was 15 miles out. He had just left his wife of 26 years, whom who was cheating on him for two years. Only to add to his troubles, his mom was diagnosed with cancer a year ago.
In a panic, he began to sweat and lose all sense that God who is able, would see him through what was seemly hopeless. As he drove looking for a gas station, many thoughts came to mind–pictorial images of his wife’s extra marital notions. He pondered the thought of driving into an oncoming truck, even slamming into a wall–whatever would end the confusion and stop the pain, so he thought.
My friend, when one becomes overwhelmed with the pressures of life, the mind falls victim to counsel that wavers. If one looses faith in God, extreme measure are taken to obtain or posses what is lacking. When we are unconscious, we can in no way see the panorama view of things. The emotions are unstable and carnalism is masked through reasoning, while unquestionable faith takes a back seat.
On the contrary, have faith in God and only believe–in God nothing is impossible.

We Desperately Need Prayer for Our Children
My friend, we can command that codes and the gravity of gun laws be changed. We can even provide more programs concerning mental illness; however, fervent and effectual prayer is the key to a change. The power of prayer is given to us all. Prayer will eradicate every diabolical and insidious attack on our children and women. If prayer remains antiquated in our schools and homes, we continue to be inevitable targets for the enemy. If we say we will do everything possible to prevent this carnage from happening again, will we pray that prayer returns back to the schools and our homes across our nation?

Restoration After Hurricane Sandy
Hurricane Sandy hit the northeastern states hard on Monday evening. Throughout the night you could hear the winds hollowing as climate conditions exacerbated. Rather than sleep on the second floor, my husband and I decided to camp out on the first floor and avoid any danger, should one of the trees in the yard hit our home.
As the hours progressed, the winds became stronger. Between wind pressure, lightening lit up the skies. Before each sudden rush of wind, I braced myself as I prayed for God’s mercy. For hours you could hear police sirens miles away as they responded to emergency calls.
Well unto the night, I had dozed off when I heard a crashing noise. I jump up and ran for safety. The tree in our yard hit our home. The wind gust were up about 75 mph to 86 mph and it was too dangerous to go outside and assess the damage. So we waited out the storm.
Tuesday morning we praised God that we were alive and had weathered the hurricane conditions. As we left our home to gas up, many streets were blocked by fallen trees, electric poles and transformers. Hanging electrical wires were everywhere. After turning around and making several detours, we made our way to the highway. Trees had also fallen on highway as well. It was nothing I had seen before. You couldn”t see the hanging wires or fallen trees until you were up on them, having to slam down on your brakes. Signs on the highway were bent in half or hanging from it’s poles.
Traffic lights were out everywhere and more than 6,000,000 people were without electricity. We found a gas station miles away, but the network was down so you could not use our ATM card–only cash. As the day progressed, gas lines were for miles in some areas. The city was reporting cars waiting in line for at least 2-hours.
It was getting late and we headed back home to snug in for the night–candle light watch until morning.
It is Wednesday morning and still no electric… Thank God for iPads. Our office was closed–no electic so we headed for the hospital to camp out and charge our iPhones and iPad for the day. I was a amazed–a few people had the same idea. A hospital employee walked over to my husband and I and asked if we were okay, or if we needed shelter or food. I learned from my husband yesterday that because the hospital is an institution–that’s where you go if you need help. Smart man he is.
Although we are handling things pretty well, I will plan better next time. First, I will gas up my car the day before. I don’t think I will ever go electric for appliances. Gas is a commodity at this point. I can at least heat up water, cook on top of the stove and take a shower while I am waiting for power to be restored, which will be at least 10-days according to officials and Lipa the electic company.
Planning for future storms is no long an option for me, especially after reading what the experts have to say. According to reports, New York will be “highly vulnerable” when future storms hit, a professor from a New York Times article says. ”Climate change will probably increase storm intensity and size simultaneously, resulting in a significant intensification of storm surges,” they wrote. Sandy had a diameter of some 900 miles, much larger than most storms.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted in 2007 that the global average sea level would rise between seven and 23 inches by the end of this century. More recent projections suggest that the melting of sea ice could mean a rise in excess of 30 inches. The New York State Sea Level Rise Task Force translated that into a local projection of 2 to 5 inches by the 2020s, and with rapid Arctic ice melt the rise could be as much as 5 to 10 inches over the next fifteen years. Combine that with a trend toward more intense storms and New York is “highly vulnerable,” professor Michael Oppenheimer of Princeton University told CNN.
“(Superstorm) Sandy is a foretaste of things to come,” he predicted, “from the combination of bigger storms and higher sea levels, both of which contribute equally to the growing threat.”
