My mom was right......

Diamonds, if at first you don't succeed, try, try AGAIN! Failure may not be an OPTION, but in the event that you do, Try, Try, AGAIN! Dust yourself off and try again!! Also remember, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Diamonds, People will try to have a private audience with you when in public they have ignored you. If you know your worth, you understand every audience does not require your presence! Stay focused and commit yourself to doing the work of Him that sent you! Some people are meant to be sent in order to distract you! You just don't fall for the okkie dokke as my mom would say!

Don't Take It Personal

The answer to one of my prayers God gave me was, "Don't take it personal, take the bitter with the sweet......." Too often we look at situations from our subjective point of view and its not necessarily what is true or a clear assessment of the entire situation. That's why its good to reveive Godly counsel and God is the best Counselor there is when you are seeking direction in your life. Then there is also the bitter with the sweet....we always want to marvel at the sweet. We delight in the sweet but truth be told, we must have a better disposition than we possess when bitter moments come into our lives. Bitter may be contributed to having to wait on getting that car you want. God already knows about it, in fact He is going to bless you with it. What you find yourself wrestling with is His timing. A few times today, I even had to admit that I wrestle with God's timing concerning the promises He has for my life. But they, they that wait on the Lord shall ren

Arms Length

Diamonds,  Keep God at arms length. No car, no amount of money, and no earthly relationship should interfere or get in the way of that space between you and God. Guard it with your life!

Gratefulness

Diamonds, today I just want to thank God for all those who came before me that paved the wave to invest in my future. I ask that you bless them and I thank you in advance for sending me ahead so I can continue in the process of being able to help someone who you are preparing to be a blessing, a light shining in this dark world! Thank you Lord and I love you! #GraduationDay

Dear Mama

"Dear Mama" "I give thanks to my God upon every remembrance of you," Philippians 1:3 (ESV) The legendary artist Tupac, wrote an inspiring piece titled, "Dear Mama," to pay homage to his mother for playing an instrumental role in his life. He credits her for the reason he was the man he became despite the absence of his biological father. For many of us, we can share in the sentiment of thanking God for the blessing of our faithful and committed mothers. How they cared and nurtured us from the womb, to the cradle, holding our hands while we ventured out to take our first baby steps, etc. No matter how mama prepared us for the time we would leave the nest, she always made it a point to remind us that she is always near. She will either call us just to say, "I love you," snatch you right before you stepped out into the street without getting hit by a car or spanking that behind when we got out of line, LOL. Mama rarely asked for anything but
Diamonds, Starting over can be a very humbling experience but one you should not resist. Its all apart of the process for God to make all things new in our lives. Being afforded the opportunity to have a fresh new start, or afforded the opportunity to blossom in a new pot of dirt speaks to both the grace and the goodness of God. Regardless of whatever your yesterday dictatated to you, the moment God allowed you to start over should keep your focus foward. You can't drive and arrive at your destination looking backwards. Besides, that chapter is over. Finished! Where God is leading you is full of promise and the production of fruit that will last. Get ready for your later days to be greater because you are no longer your past! Walk in the confidence of God knowing He will never lead you where He is not and  He has your best interest in mind! Be Blessed & know since you have a reason to shine (because God resides on the inside of you) let your light shine so that others may
Diamonds, where there appears to be a monopoly, TRUST GOD....your gifts will make room for you and they will bring you before great men and women for the glory of God!! (Prov. 18:16) # DiamondsAreResilient # UnwrapThoseGiftsAndPutThemToGoodUse
