REGENT'S MESSAGE
Dearest sisters in Christ
It is with great pleasure and honor to represent you all in the works of our mission, in Charity.
I believe you all see some leadership in me, to allow me such honor.
Our daily lives are busy with home and work and family, yet let's make time to sit and reflect on our spiritual growth. Find you a small area in your home to make a space of healing and prayer, sit quietly and reflect, enjoy the breath of life, candles or flowers and clear your mind. Have a conversation with our Father and allow him to carry away your burden and trials as you exhale.
With God in our forefront life has meaning, even at our roughest moments. Let him guide you when speaking and listening to others, for sometimes we need not to speak but just have a listening ear. Allow your heart to give off love and understanding instead of judgement.
Let's continue to pray and grow spiritually so that we can give off peace and harmony that others can see and feel around us. Best wishes your Regent Alicia Jeter
Sincerely
Maria A Jeter
