Thought for Life
"IF YOU THINK YOU CAN, YOU CAN" You can be total winner even if you're a beginner
If you think you can, you can. You can wear the gold medallion
You can ride your own black stallion It's not your talent or the gift at birth
It's not your bank book that determines worth And it isn't the color of your skin It's your attitude that lets you win You can upset Connors or Austin
Or win the marathon at Boston If you think you can win, you can. Y 00 can profit through inflation
You can redirect the nation It doesn't matter if you 've won before
It makes no difference what's the half time score It's never over until the fmal gun
So keep on trying and you'll fing you've won You grab your dream and then believe it
Go out and work and you'll achieve it. If YOU think YOU can, YOU CAN!
Congratulations Debutante Tiffany Moreland. Love you for your Perserverance!

THE REASON WHY I FUSS
'. To: Tiffany L. Moreland
From: Earl B. Johnson
I fUSS because I know what you can do. I fuss because I believe in you. Now sometimes I may fuss and push you so much that you might want to give up. But I'm glad that you hang .in there and understand that I fUSS out of love. When I see you achieving and succeeding, I can say that my fussing was not in vain. Congratulations in your achievements. I'm proud of you. So remember if I see you slipping you better believe that you will hear me fussing again, making sure that you do your best to succeed. Also remember that if you feel like no one is on your side, that you always have two, God and' me. I will always 'support you. I'm proud of you and Congratulations again keep succeeding.
CONGRATULATIONS! TIFFANY!

Believe in your dreams Don't ever underestimate The power of your dreams, For anything is possible, No matter how it seems
In each of us there lies the sfrength To ,make our dreams come true, To do what seems impossible And to make a difference too.
It only takes a simple dream To start us on our way Our achievements of tomorrow Are the dreams we have today.
There Are four rungs on the ladder of success:
Plan Purposefully, Prepare Prayerfully I
Proceed Positively, Pursue Persistently!

CAREFUL INFIDELITY
"Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body what ye shall put on. " Matthew 6:25
Jesus sums up common-sense carefulness in a disciple as infidelity. If we have received the Spirit of God, He will press through and say -Now where does God come in in this relationship, in this mapped out holiday, in these new books? He always presses the point until we learn to make Him our first consideration. Whenever we put other thins first, there is confusion.
Good Luck Tiffany!!

G.Dear Cff'apCff'ap,
®hen pou were born on 6ept. 1, 1985, pou were given the name "Cff'aith" because there was so little 'faith" in the world at that time,
1Qoking back over the pears, there have been manp events, in just the short time that pour
generation has been alive, w~ere God has tested the faith if our nation, G.Don't ever forget the
tragedies that our nation has endured during these pears, and remember also the personal encounters
that pou have witnessed pourseif where GOdpeiformed a miracle right bifore pour epes, Cff'or pou
know that "the testing of your faith develops perseverance." - James 1:3 God has a plan for pou and it was not "accident" that pour name is "Cff'aith ", 'lfour faith in
God thus far has brought pou manp bliSsings as well ar being a witness to those around pou, 60, as
pou continue on pourjournep through life, remember to keep pouifaith in God not matter what I
trials and tribulations pou map go through, Cff'or "without faith it is impossible to please God." - Hebrews 11:6

CONGRATULATIONS!
As you make your debut into the world of opportunities, make the Church a part of your life. The Church may be likened to the dressing. room of a great theater. Here is where you put on the garments of praise and fmd the props that are needed out on the stage of life. The Church is where you are eqw.pped, prepared, and cued for the next act along life's way.
William Shakespeare said, "All the world is a stage and all the people on it are players." The world is a stage, but don't walk out on the play. The world needs those who play the small parts, for usually it is to those who play them well that the larger more important parts are given.
As you travel along the road of life, at frequent intervals enter the Church to worship God and depart with a determination to serve the people whom God loves. Above all, "Remember your Creator in the days of.your youth." Reflect on the blessings that are yours, blessings you didn't earn but received because of God's love for you. The greatest blessing of all is the Gift of Eternal Life. May you ever be reminded that God's Holy Spirit indwells you to empower, energize, and enable you to accomplish your goals as you obediently follow His directions.

You are a very unique person because of God's exclusive design for your life. No one can stand where you stand, know what you know, feel what you feel, be what you are, or do what you do because there is no duplicate of you! If there is to be any competition in life, compete with your own yesterdays and rise above them in knowledge, skills, and abilities.
You will never have to compete for success because it is relative, individual, and personal. Success is a personal relationship with God, a progressive responsibility to God, and a perpetual reliance on God.
Always remember that a successful life is 100% unshakable faith in the constant presence of God. We pray that you will talk with Him frequently about your plans, your needs, and the desires of your heart.
