Good morning Diamonds,
I just want to encourage you this morning to make better choices with the time you have been given. Stop looking to the left and to the right. Often times we teeter totter on getting things done because the work seems overwhelming and we begin to take steps away from our assignments by looking for other things to do; social media, television, snacking, using the telephone, etc. when we should be focused on our task(s) at hand. 

Nowadays, it doesn't take too much for us to be distracted but if you break down your desired task ( with completion in mind), the pressure will be less and you'll be one step closer to accomplishing your God-given goals. Be honest with yourself and what you struggle with. Create a list. Also, never be afraid or ashamed to ask anyone for help. The best teachers are those who are teachable. Even Jesus sought God the Father for direction through prayer. 

Remember, you are not in this process alone even when it may seem as if its just you and the computer because God is with you and He will complete the work He began in You. During moments of weakness, pray and ask God for strength but by all means, don't ever be afraid to grow; don't ever get to the place where you are comfortable with complacency. 

God had bigger and better plans or works of righteousness that He prepared for you to do before the foundation of the world. So don't let life pass you by. Don't allow idleness or laziness eat up your time. Your purpose is too important and is tied to too many people waiting on God to answer their prayers--through you!

Love you and stay focused in Jesus' name!

Today, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season. The lenten season is observed to better appreciate the death, and resurrection of Christ through self-examination, repentance, prayer, fasting, and self-denial. In addition, Ash Wednesday has another significant meaning for me. It was on this day, Ash Wednesday that the Lord brought me out of my induced coma in 2000, March 8th to be exact. Prior to that, I could only recall seeing my brother the night of the fire  in January who accompanied me in the ambulance while being transported to what was then called UMDNJ in Newark, NJ. On that Ash Wednesday, I can remember seeing both my grandmother and my mommy sitting in my hospital room. Grandma holding a can of Pepsi, and mommy doing something with my feet, lol. Probably clipping my toe nails. There is also that taste of chicken broth or soup I will never forget fed to me intravenously along with other fluids to sustain me while I was in a coma. Its been 16 years fr...

No Room For Excuses!

There was this young woman diagnosed with leukemia and she spent a considerable amount of time in cancer treatment facilities.   Everyone that came in contact with this young lady always referred to her as remarkable, and resilient. It baffled them how she was able to keep such a sweet spirit considering all she has endured.  The doctors and medical specialists couldn't understand it. When they would shake their heads, she opened her heart and then began to testify of God's goodness in the midst of the storm. When the doctors came in with some "bad news" she was quick to tell them about the hope she had in Christ Jesus. Again, they couldn't understand how she could believe in a God that allowed her to experience so much suffering. Politely she would explain that her suffering is not a death sentence or a reflection of God's lack of love for her. In her suffering she experiences the grace of God that others in her weakness may witness His strength. ...
Diamonds, there was a young person a part of her church's youth group and she shared that she wanted a job in a strip club. "The strip club," they asked? "Yes, the strip club. There is a job opening as a cook and while I'm there I want to share the gospel with the strippers," she explained to her youth group. Well, her youth leader, along with her youth group carpooled to the strip club and prayed over the building in the dead of winter. They then proceeded by writing her work sc hedule down after she got the job and when she was scheduled to work, they each agreed to pray. After the young person ministered to the other young women in the strip club and introduced them to Jesus Christ, they responded by coming into the church, giving their lives to Christ and made the decision to change occupations. What an awesome testimony of God's love, light, and grace being dispensed into the world! May this testimony encourage someone to follow God's ...
