Words Matter !!
There's a saying that many of us are familiar with; "Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you. This sounds good, but it's the farthest thing from the truth. 
What is true, words can make or break you, depending on what words you buy into. The Bible tells us that death and life are in the power of the tongue, ( proverbs 8:24 ).
So what does this mean? The words you say can hurt or built up. This is especially true when it comes to children especially during their developmental years! One can destroy or built their future.  It also affects adults. Negative words can cause a person to doubt themselves, even when they have the ability to proceed; they can cause one to be frozen in their tracks!! 
So what does one do? First we must find out what the one who made us (GOD) says about us ( I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made "Psalms 139:14 KJV" ). You were made in the image of God ( "Gen 1:27"). 
Knowing what God says about one will give one the stability to standup to what ever negative words or thoughts that may come one's way.  
Hear is what one must do; study what God has to say, and meditate on it. Every time negative words or thoughts come up, cast them down with the word of God.
Remember God loves you!

Till next time,

During the session with Dr. Sabrina Jackson on October 1st, she spoke of an extensive list of the functions of the Holy Spirit. Attached is that list -70 functions of the Holy Spirit. "In her book, Spiritual Revolution Patricia King shows really good Biblical research on the function of the Holy Spirit. This list of the 70 Functions of the Holy Spirit came from her research."

Signs and Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer may cause several signs and symptoms. Women are more likely to have symptoms if the disease has spread, but even early-stage ovarian cancer can cause them. The most common symptoms include:
  • Bloating
  • Pelvic or abdominal (belly) pain
  • Trouble eating or feeling full quickly
  • Urinary symptoms such as urgency (always feeling like you have to go) or frequency (having to go often)
These symptoms are also commonly caused by benign (non-cancerous) diseases and by cancers of other organs. When they are caused by ovarian cancer, they tend to be persistent and a change from normal − for example, they occur more often or are more severe. These symptoms are more likely to be caused by other conditions, and most of them occur just about as often in women who don’t have ovarian cancer. But if you have these symptoms more than 12 times a month, see your doctor so the problem can be found and treated if necessary. 
Others symptoms of ovarian cancer can include:

Others symptoms of ovarian cancer can include:
  • Fatigue (extreme tiredness)
  • Upset stomach
  • Back pain
  • Pain during sex
  • Constipation
  • Changes in a woman's period, such as heavier bleeding than normal or irregular bleeding
  • Abdominal (belly) swelling with weight loss

RENEW YOUR MIND
Philippians 4:8
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

Don't predict the future. Don't predict failure. And don't believe the myths---like these examples:
  • Healthy food will be expensive, taste like cardboard, and won't fill me up.
  • I can't change my habits for the long term.
  • My spouse or my family will never do this with me.
  • I have plenty of time to work on getting healthy.
  • If I don't buy sugar cereals, my kids won't eat breakfast.
  • I'm too busy to cook healthy meals—fast food is easier.
  • I can eat what I want as long as I drink diet soda.
  • I failed so there's no point in starting over.
  • I can't exercise because of mobility issues.


Note: Focus on food that serves your body and spirit. Diabetes and hypertension can lead to kidney failure, heart disease, and stroke—among other illnesses. Think about eating colorful fruits and vegetables, whole breads, lean protein, healthy fats, high fiber carbohydrates, and plenty of water. Sugar and sodium are not your friend. Remember, if you have mobility issues, exercise whatever parts of your body you can move.
