WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY MISSION STATEMENT:

Perfect Peace

Hello Wilberforce Family! It’s almost the end of the semester. As it approaches things can be overwhelming and try to weigh you down, but in the midst of it all you can have perfect peace. Here are five scriptures that have helped me to get through the last stretch of this semester. I find myself speaking them every morning before I start off the day and it helps. Try it and see if it works. Be Blessed!!!

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts I you.”

Matthew 19:26 “…but with God all things are possible.”

Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Romans 8:37 “Yet in all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”

After getting used to the scriptures try replacing “you, him, and we” with I and me and speak life over yourself.

Cyril Ileso

As the weather turns colder, the days grow shorter and the assignments seem to pile up, please know that we are here to support you every step of the way. You are well aware, that “to whom much is given much is required”, so know that your ability to end the semester successfully is what is expected of you. We understand that this time of the semester can be the most difficult, so we encourage you to seek out resources that will assist you if needed. In addition to completing your assignments and studying, make sure that you are taking care of yourself mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Take a moment to laugh with friends, read a magazine, get some rest; go for a walk or eat your favorite snack. Most of all, take time to give thanks for the blessings that are bestowed upon you each day. As you prepare to leave the campus for the Winter break, be sure to take care of all of your responsibilities to return to school in the Spring semester. We expect to see you return to campus in January, so make sure to successfully complete your semester academically; register for Spring 2009 classes; handle your financial affairs and reserve your residence hall room. We recognize that leaving for the Winter break can be great for some and difficult for others, so please know whatever your situation, you and those you love most will be in our thoughts and prayers. In closing, I leave you with this:

“May The Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
