or trials, the first line of defense needs to be in your mind. If you allow fear to come in and take root in your thinking, it becomes a stronghold that affects every part of you. But when thoughts of fear come, you dont have to 'sign for the package,' so to speak. Instead of activating fear by meditating on it, believing it and speaking it, you can turn things around and activate faith. How do you activate faith? Hebrews tells us that the Word of God is living and active, sharper than a double-edged sword, able to divide soul and spirit. When the enemy tried to tempt Jesus, He gave us the example of how to respond. He said, 'It Is Written!'
Instead of going through the day worried, thinking about how its not going to work out, start meditating on what God says. Activate faith by speaking the Word of God. Let it sink down inside of you and transform your being. Always remember, His Word is alive, His Word is truth, His Word is your weapon. So take hold of His promises and find where it is written!" -Joel Osteen. Let's set those goals for this week & tackle them head on!!! Safanya is an extraordinary young woman whose background in politics and government has made her one of the most well known African American leaders in the State of New Jersey. She is a product of Leadership Newark where she developed and created her circle of colleagues who also have gone on to prominent leadership positions throughout the State of NJ. She domi-
nates the scene wherever she goes! Safanya grew up in Newark and has served the Essex County community for many years. She has also worked on the State level under the former Governor Jon Corzines Administration. This woman is truly a trailblazer who is paving the way daily for other young women. She is a well respected assertive woman who consistently work to help others fulfill their destiny. She is a positive role model and understands the importance of health and wellness in the community. The Bessie Mae Womens Health Center applaud her tenacity and diligence to create a better tomorrow for our urban youth.

An infection is a colonization by a parasitic species, which may not cause any adverse effects. In a disease the infection leads to impaired or abnormal function. In either case, the condition may not exhibit signs or symptoms. Increased understanding of infections like HPV, which infects most sexually active individuals but cause disease in only a few has led to increased use of the term STI. For more information, or to obtain a FREE STD test (for those who meet the eligibility requirements), contact our office and speak to one of our healthcare professionals. We are here to help you.973-766-1303. _______________________________________________________________________________________
