2 Page 2 Consolidated Baptist District Women s Auxiliary Presidential Reflections Sis. Brenda J. Carter July Much Praise & Prayers are being sent to on this the Lord s Day. I would like to take the time to say congratulations to all of you that have been a part of the CBDA Women s Retreats as this great auxiliary celebrates 25 years of being an inspiration thru all of the teachings, musical guests and fellowshipping with ladies from many different cities, states and backgrounds. As one of the former Presidents, I would like to say thank you for the support I received during my tenure. To my church family, Bethsaida Baptist Church and the Rev. Bishop E. Carter thanks for lifting me up while I was the selected servant for the CBDA Women s Auxiliary. It was a pleasure to have introduced many of you to Dr. Margaret O. Weaver (Inspiring Speaker) and Sis. Kathy Taylor (Beautiful Songstress) for which they were both very inspiring thru their delivery by word or song. As we approach this great celebration I would like to share a quotation that I used a lot in my greetings during my tenure, The Key to Living your Best Life starts with how you approach every New Day just imagine what would happen if we truly started our day with this quotation. I know that there is not much we can do about the past and we definitely don t know what the future holds but we are blessed to be able to wake up and see another day and use each moment to encourage someone to enjoy the moment. Continue to keep the auxiliary lifted up in prayer as we strive to be a beacon to all of those women that share with us each and every year. May God continue to smile upon all of you each and every day. God Bless, Sis. Brenda J. Carter July

6 April Health Note April is Stress Awareness Month : Stress is an emotional, physical, social, economic or any other factor that requires a response or change. Ways to eliminate stress in our lives, have a little talk with Jesus, take it to the Lord and leave it there, pray, disassociate yourself from persons who are always negative, enrich your life with " me" time these are just a few of many. Sometimes we can be the cause of our own stress, sometimes we need to relax, relate and release and enjoy the peace and quietness of our alone time with God.
