FAITH
So much uncertainty in
the world today necessitates
one meeting life with faith.
Just how does one go about
developing this faith? It would
seem to me that one has to be
in tune with God. What do I
mean when I say IN TUNE
WITH GOD? It is simply
God’s law of harmony and
right relationship. This law of
harmony and right
relationship enables one to
realize that he has established
a firm devine order in his
mner hopes, dreams and
expectations-a loving spirit
that sees the good in all
persons and circumstances-he
refuses to waste time or
thought worrying about what
might happen in the future.
This law enables one to know
that the power of God is
working within and in all that
concerns him. One must
develop the attitude that no
matter what is facing him that
day, he will keep uppermost in
his mind and heart the truth
that God can be trusted to
guide and inspire him and to
reveal right answers. With
ones attention focused on God,
all though concerning fear and
frustration disappears-one
knows that through the power
if God in him, one is braver
than his fears, stronger than
his doubts. One begins to know
that the light of (iod shines in
him and through him and that
the presence and power of God
are with him every step of the
way. One is now free from
worry about the present and
the future, for his faith has
been firmly established in
God.
What ■ is God’s link to
Faith? When we turn to God,
we find that all fearful
thoughts concerning us and
others will disentegrate.
Looking to God for strength,
fills us with new energy and
direction. All anxiety is thrust
aside enabling us to be guided
and drawn to new, more
rewarding levels of
achievement and fulfillment.
Faith in the goodness of
God keeps one from feeling
discouraged. Faith in our God
enables one to see good
running through all things.
Faith in our God makes us
know that all things are

I am what I am. This
raises a question-“What am
I?” To begin, I am somebody.
I am a creation of God. I can
do no more than was intended
for me to do. I am Black and
do not wish to change my
color. I am a woman, sup
posedly weaker than the
opposite sex. l can not change
or rather I have no desire to
change what I am.
Being what I am does not
make me wish to be different.
I think each of us should be
proud to be what we are.
Being what I am I know I can
get nowhere unless I am
determined. I can not sit back
and let the things I want come
to me-I must go out and get
things I want.
To be somebody in this
world, I have to reach my
goal. By somebody, I do not
mean just another human
being wasting away my life
day by day. I mean a
somebody that makes himself
important and respectable in
the eyes of others. To be
important one does not have to
be president nor does he have
to land on the moon, all he has
to do is something he can be
proud of. An important person
is only as important as he
thinks he is. To be somebody
one has to have determination
and has to be able to fight,
without fists or weapons, for
his rights. Each of us has to
consider ourselves a
somebody before we can
expect anyone else to respect
us in this manner.
I, as a creation of God
know that I am special,
therefore, making me a
special somebody. As I stated
before I can do no more than
was intended for me to do and
without God I could do
nothing. I believe that for
anyone who does not consider
himself somebody that there
is time-but remember time
waits for no man, woman, or
child.
I am Black and proud, but
this does not have anything to
do with my being somebody. I
feel that with determination,
the ability to reason, and the
ability to see the viewpoints of
others that I, as a Black can
succeed. I feel that color
should be the least thing in
