Join me as we celebrate brain injury survivors around the world!  Brain Injury Awareness Month, observed each March, was established 3 decades ago to educate the public about the incidence of brain injury and the needs of persons with brain injuries and their families.  Caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to short or long-term changes affecting thinking, sensation, language, or emotion.

Each year, at least 2.5 million children and adults suffer from a TBI in the United States. Of those, 50,000 die and 280,000 require hospital admission, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Most of us never imagine that our lives could be impacted by a serious brain injury, but between 3.2 and 5.3 million Americans live with long-term disabilities resulting from traumatic brain injury (TBI). In fact, this number could be middle-of-the-road because many people, including professional athletes, may never seek treatment. 

We can’t ignore this problem any longer.  So, join me as I share tools and strategies to help raise awareness about the risks associated with brain injury.

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury—or TBI—caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This sudden movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist in the skull, creating chemical changes in the brain and sometimes stretching and damaging brain cells. Medical providers may describe a concussion as a “mild” brain injury because concussions are usually not life-threatening. Even so, the effects of a concussion can be serious. Join me here tonight at 7:00 pm EST to hear how some of the bravest brain injury survivors deal with the thing we call the invivible disability!

This awesome woman of God shares encouraging words with men and women around the world who are searching for a more intimate relationship with God. She teaches that we must not depend on others to escort us into the place where God is. This book will thrust you into a deeper personal relationship with God. It will release principles that will help you feel God's presence for yourself. After reading this book, it will cause you to carry God's presence wherever you go. She encourages us to allow this book to become a motivator engrafted to propel us into God's holy chambers. Pastor Barbara states, "It is more important to be alone with God and have everything than to be surrounded by the crowd and still be empty!" This book will guide you with applications that allow you to be content with simply being "Alone with God".

When we look at the world with all of its trials, troubles, tribulations, and heartaches; we sometimes ask: "Where is God? Why doesn't He do something?" Is it that God is not able? Is the situation too large or too difficult for God?  We are indeed living in perilous times!  Every time we turn around something else is happening.  But, the word of God tells us in  Jeremiah 32:17, "There is nothing too hard for God!" We can trust God with our bigger problems because we know He is bigger than them all. No matter what temptations or trials we face, we can place them into God’s hands and know He has a plan for us amidst times of pain, loss, or frustration. 

As we learn in the Jeremiah verse, nothing is too difficult nor hidden from God. Satan cannot hatch a scheme that can go around God’s plan. Even the demons have to ask permission before they can do anything.  Indeed, if God has the ultimate power, we can trust Him with even our most difficult of problems. So again I ask.....is there anything too hard for God?  The answer my dear friend is simply NO!

J’Bria Iyalla discusses her book, “The Love We Share”.  This book provides a safe place for parents and children to express their emotions. So often, parents and children suppress their feelings because it has been taught that the expression of emotions is weak. However, this journal combats that idea. It is the author’s intention that through journaling, parents, and children become closer by learning to be vulnerable with one another. They believe that vulnerability builds intimacy in relationships and builds positive emotional support.  A vision given to her by God, she states this tool will definitely help bridge the gap of communication between parent and child.
