This New Year is another year to be your authentic self and live your life to the fullest. The challenges of life will come but how should we face them? By turning to God’s word is the best approach as only He can make the impossible possible. Whenever you feel as though you cannot achieve your goals and it seems like the more you try is the more obstacles arise, encourage yourself in these powerful words , “ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13

Many times we tend to focus on our problems rather than communicate to God as He always has the peace we need and the answers. Additionally, sometimes we listen to people’s opinion instead of channeling our focus on God’s strength as only He alone can empower us to experience His power so that we can testify for His name to be glorified. Take time to believe in the confidence which God has placed within us to succeed. Whenever we depend on God then His strength will be the medicine to help us bless others. Going by your feelings will only make you inconsistent and someone with a wavering spirit will have no clear direction.

On the other hand, some children have painful hearts so we see: hurt, disappointment, frustration, loneliness, confusion, and anger among others.  Whitney Houston sang a powerful song entitled 'The Greatest Love of All',  which speaks to loving children on every level.

  When you think of the word intelligence what thoughts often come to your mind? A parent might think how smart the child is or isn’t. Educators might think what areas are the students able to excel in the best. The average person might think to be ‘head smart’ and not ‘book smart’ is all that is needed to survive. Psychologist Robert Sternberg defined intelligence as "the mental abilities necessary for adaptation to, as well as shaping and selection of, any environmental context (1997, p. 1). But let us look at the word intelligence again and reflect on when you were going to elementary school and there were many subjects you excelled at until you transitioned into high school and then a number of those subjects became more complicated. Needless to say, some of the new subjects you started learning became very exciting for some while others wished they never heard of foreign languages or physics. All brains are designed to perform at the level of intelligence which it was created...
