Diamonds are Resilient

At any point, we can break under pressure, but God always know how much pressure to apply in order to continue the process of conforming his children into the image of Christ. If it had not been for His presence through the Holy Spirit, prayer and his Word, the pressure would have drove me crazy and possibly driven me to complain but Im learning to lean and listen out for that small still voice that reminds me, "Dana, Im so near." Trusting God sonetimes will make you look crazy to the onlookers but you continue to hold on to God's unchanging hands. When He blesses us, its not just for us. God is a Giver; therefore, what He has planned will also bless the lives of others and depending in the size of the blessing, you must learn how to wait for the super-sized blessing. The fact that God would even promise us anything is humbling. The idea of Him keeping his word is baffling considering He owes us nothing and yet the greatest promise that ever came to fruition was that

Diamonds, God will qualify you before a title is even given by the quality of the work and the fruit you will produce! Don't wait for a title, the title will just confirm what God has ALREADY called and purposed for you to accomplish! In Jesus's name, Amen!

If this day seems to be the deadline and yet you have not heard from the Lord, 11:59pm is a long way from 8:24am. Wait on the Lord, be of good courage; He shall strengthen thine heart, wait I say on the Lord. If He was the one to make the promise then trust Him to bring it to fruition. God is faithful. Dont worry yourself over the plans God has for your life. Now, continue with your day trusting completely in Him who has called you! Be blessed Diamonds & Diamond Studs!

Diamonds, it would be a lonely world without someone to call "friend." If you desire to have a friend, be sure to show yourself to be friendly. Treat your friend (s) as you want to be treated and ask for forgiveness if after you have evaluated and reflected over the years of your friendships and found you have not been found to be friendly. Being surrounded by my friends since '96 today made me realize how blessed and fortunate I am to have them in my life. Lord please continue to bless them. They are truly have been friendly and faithful friends to me.

If the Bible said it Diamonds, then we should honor it and live by it! #WalkInTheLight

Diamonds, People are going to talk about you whether you are doing good or bad but make an effort to give them something Gospel worthy and that which glorifies your Father in heaven! Keep Walking Worthy!

Diamonds, no one in their right mind would give a 5 year old a diamond to play with. Chew on. Bounce off the wall. Why? Because they know its worth.  Much like your life and what you should or should not permit or allow to take place in your life. Baby girl, know your worth.  No one is going to advocate more for you than yourself. If you wouldn't tolerate someone mistreating a beloved family member or friend, then that should go the same for you! Know your worth and stop being short-sided when it comes to your future.

Diamonds, God will qualify you for the position. I have seen it too many times in my own faith walk of how God will have a place already planted in order for you to receive the necessary training that will deem you qualified to carry out a specific assignment He has called you to complete. I have walked through many doors but before entering them, I was wondering how in the heck am I going to qualify for this position with my little experience to find that God has already worked out the situation. I have personally heard,"Dana, you may not have the experience, but you will be able to aquire it here." I have been out of work in the traditional sense for many years and I have heard so often that you must be qualified, you must be prepared and then God will open up opportunities for you (and He does) but in my case, God has always presented me with open doors for preparedness that I know only He has opened that would allow me to learn according to my learning style. I learn by

Diamonds, if tomorrow is not promised, remember, you still have today. So while you have today, make the best use of your time and your resources in order to make a difference in someone's life, right now...don't wait!!!
