EDITORIAL T he end of the year is near. Wow! What a year it has been! In reflecting over the year, I first thank God for keeping me and my family. This year has brought joy, sadness, and loss in my world. I always take the end of the year to reflect over myself personally and professionally. I plan for improvements and do all I can to be better and do better in the new year. This month I got a clear reminder of what my family means to me. I do not know about you, but I am awfully close to my family. I often look around at others and wonder why families are not close anymore. My family is all I got. When things get rough, when I am down and out, and when I need someone to pray for me, I turn to my family. I thank God for blessing me with an amazing group of people I call family. I hear what you’re saying, you’re probably thinking what I’m saying is too good to be true. Now my family is human just like anyone else’s. We say the wrong things to each other, give attitude, and at times hurt each other’s feelings, but we ALWAYS work it out, we say we love you to each other and do all we can to support one another. I do not know your story. I do not know the hurts and pains that your family has caused you. I urge if you can get it right. I pray you do not go into 2022 still holding grudges against family members and people in general. I am going into 2022 with a new mindset. Listening to Pastor Mike Todd of Transformation Church has blessed me. In one of his messages, he talks about idle talk. This type of talk causes division, discouragement, and could destroy others. I realized at times this type of talk has come out of my mouth and I am not going to carry that type of talk in 2022. I choose faith talk. I am going into 2022 trusting and believing God for all that He has for me. I will be sharing in next months issues just how faith talk has worked in my life, and I believe it can work in yours. Go to YouTube to check out Pastor Mike Todd’s Faith series. It blessed my life and I hope it blesses yours. Take time in the next few weeks to think about 2022. Write it down and make the vision plain. Expect wonderful things to happen and exercise your faith. As Pastor Mike Todd says it is only crazy until it happens. I pray that 2022 is your best season yet! It will be for me, and I believe that in faith. Crazy faith that is. Dwana Bradley Editor in Chief 5
