Father, in Jesus name, we come to you. We thank you, we praise you, we honor your holy name. We bless you God for who you are, who you have been and will be. Thank you Jesus for all your many blessings. Lord, we thank you. You have been better to us than we've been to ourselves. You go above and beyond what we ask or think. You exceed every expectation. Glory to your name, Father. Lord we ask you to continue to move in our lives. Move on our behalf as only you can. Make ways out of no way. Direct our paths and guide us in our decisions. Give us the mind of Christ. The faithfulness of Enoch and the resilience of Job. Help us to be like David; people after your heart. Give us wisdom like Solomon and the belief of Abraham. You, Lord God are the ram we need. You are our everything. Help us to walk in obedience to your word. Give us a spirit of humility in all things. Let our thoughts, actions, and speech glorify you. Lord we give you permission to take control in our lives, in every area; have your way God. We lift up leadership to you now, Father. May your perfect will be done in the area of government across this nation, and throughout this world. Move in our churches God like only you can. Bring revival and restoration. Heal your people and save the lost. Use us to spread your gospel and to be an example of what a follower, a believer, in Christ looks like. Lord we thank you and make every request in the matchless name of your son, Jesus Christ, Amen.

First aid isn't just about wounds.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Beautiful!!!

It's never too late for a Second Chance!!

A free program offered through the National Educational Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder (NEABPD) designed to assist parents currently experiencing significant stress, fear, or trauma-related issues, partially in response to their child’s previous su***de attempt, non-suicidal self-harm, or other dangerous behaviors.  

The program includes:

Educational Material: Covering stress and trauma (including suicidality), emotion dysregulation, and family transactions.

Individual Skills: Equipping parents with tools to reduce fear and trauma-based emotions, manage other painful emotions, and enhance relationship skills to improve connections with their child and others.

Group Format: The course is offered in a group format, providing substantial peer support and assistance in practicing new skills.

This evidence-based, free course offers education, skills, and support for parents and is available in two formats: once a week for 8 weeks or as a 2-day weekend intensive.  Anyone interested in enrolling can visit the registration page: https://www.borderlinepersonalitydisorder.org/mstr-registration-page/

1 in 36 children in the U.S. have autism, up from the previous rate of 1 in 44.

1 in 45 adults in the U.S. have autism

In the U.S., about 4 in 100 boys and 1 in 100 girls have autism.

Boys are nearly 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls.

Autism prevalence is lower among white children than other racial and ethnic groups:

White – 2.4%

Black – 2.9%

Hispanic – 3.2%

Asian or Pacific Islander – 3.3%

These changes reflect an improvement in outreach, screening and de-stigmatization of autism diagnosis among minority communities.

Wear blue tomorrow in support of Autism.
