Dear Tia:'
• Reverend B.}. Tatum, Senior Pastor
This is only the beginning of your journey through life. Always remember,that God will guide you completely, continuously, and conditionally. He will give guidance in every area of life.
In the area of the ACADEMIC, always extend yourself. Exercise your mind. Memorize challenging passages. The mind, like a muscle, must be flexed. It becomes trustworthy when trusted and dependable when depended upon. Push back the frontiers of your knowledge all the days of your life.
In the area of APPEARANCE, do the best you can with what you have. You are accountable for how you appear. Respond responsibly and rationally to the powers of logic and the commands of the Bible.
In the area of ATTITUDE, be a good steward. An attitude is more important than a fact. A fact cannot be changed; an attitude can. Maintain a good attitude at all times, at all cost. What you think about what happens to you affects what happens to you. You are what you think. You think what you' are. "[You] can do all things through Christ Who strengthens [you]" (Philippians 4:13).
Be faithful! profitable.

Tia -
As you go out into the world, take the Lord with you. ,Stand on the word of God and you won't fall into error.
, ,And always remember,
When the trials of this life makeyou weary And your troubles seem too much to bear, there's a wonderful solace and comfort
In the silent communion of prayer.
When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed, when you are discouraged, thinking all iSJost,
County your many blessings - name them one by one, It will surprise you what the Lord has done!
May God Continue to Bless You, Karen E. Roberson
