It’s December! I thank God for bringing me this far! Thank Him for what you have overcome and what you have already accomplished this year. The best is yet to come.

Many people think too much about what others think of them, but that is not what you should do. What is important is what God thinks about you! Be yourself at all times because that is healthier than filling your minds up with stress!

No matter the circumstances, know that God will always make a way where there seems to be no way.

Be strong and confident! Don’t allow anyone to belittle you. It is written in Matthew 5:16 “ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good words, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

I want to encourage you to always be alert and pray always. Think of what you want to accomplish in 2013. Forget what other thinks of you. It will only lead to stress.

I’ve enumerated what you can do to accomplish your goals in 2013:

• Pray to God about what your plans are
• If you hear from Him that you should do it, write a plan of action on paper
• Don’t rush. There’s time for everything

Never trust mean. Trust in God. With Him all things are possible.

Be a good example to others. When someone tells you about his/her problem and he/she has lost all hope, encourage the person  to never give up. Everything happens for a reason. If you put your trust in God, He will never let you down. In Psalm 37:25 it is written that King David said that he has never seen the righteous forsaken. Come out of whatever situation you are in as a new and confident person with a renewed mind.

You may have had dreams of which you don’t have any understanding of. Go before God. Ask a genuine pastor about its meaning. How do you know who is a genuine pastor? Pray to the Lord to lead you to that person.

I wish you a successful 2013!
