Making Better Decisions

          Two years ago, I went through a very dark betrayal from my soon to be ex-husband Ra’keem. During that time, I have no idea how I made it and it could have only been the grace and power of God. I was shocked to find out that some people get so jealous of you that they conspire legally to destroy you, and then God has to step in and stop them (Isaiah 54:17 AMP). As a single mother, as I have started moving forward and moving on with my life I have to recover and heal , and at night wipe my own tears away. I had to be strong for myself. I had to make decisions that were best for me and my child. I had to pick myself up and keep going. I know that the word of God says that no weapon formed against you shall prosper and it is true. No weapon of lying shall prosper. No weapon of eviction shall prosper. No weapon of being wrong accused and arrested shall prosper. No weapon shall prosper. I decided that I would speak good things and know that everything is working for my good and that it is good.

It Will Get Better   

          I was studying the book of lamentations and how the prophet felt while writing. That is why I like looking at that chapter because he keeps it all the way real. He is telling you the truth and he is saying that he was indeed going through a tough time. He was a prophet and he was going through a wilderness and many times he asked God why, but he kept going. But there is this verse that got my attention in Lamentations 1:12 International Version , ““People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my distress; they rejoice at what you have done. May you bring the day you have announced so they may become like me”. I heard God say, “To get you out faster and quicker, I have to let someone suffer what you suffered. Do not aide them, just keep going”. In this season, people are going to suffer what you suffered, and you must keep going forward. The people who did harm to you are going to suffer and be repayed the evil that they delivered because they are reaping what they have sown. I want you to know that the word of God says in Psalms I believe that they who sow in tears shall reap in joy. I believe that God is preparing you to reap in joy and  I want you to know that this too shall pass. You are walking down a road into Elevation. You will be elevated and you will be blessed I believe that in 2026 it is a Psalms 23:5 year, that God is preparing tables of blessings, favor, and grace on your behalf.

Things Have To Get Better

          Nobody wants to feel like they are stuck in a situation that they cannot get out of it. You may have been praying over and over again wondering when and how God is to show up. God may be coming today, God may be coming tomorrow, and God may be coming right now. But just know that God is indeed coming. I was reading and meditating on Psalms 63. In that Psalm David was keeping it all the way real of how he felt. I want you to know that with God you can keep it all the way real of how you feel. When you vent to God and tell your feelings to him, then things will begin to happen that are working in your favor.

Lessons That I Learned

          I learned the hard way to not tell people what I am going through before I pray. Instead your first reaction is to take it to God in prayer. You want to see people change for the better, you want to experience peace in the house, and you want to have joy in your life. All that is found in prayer. So today before you vent to someone on the phone, go to God in prayer so that he can move and work your situation for the good.

Psalms 63: 3

“Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you”.

Going Back To Work As A Mother

Psalm 105:15King James Version

15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

**

Ecc. 11:4

The word of God says not to wait for perfect conditions and to press forward. So I went to a job interview for a manager position and met all the qualifications and was almost offered a job… to be told that because I did not have daycare on the weekends that I could not work that position because as a manager you have to be available 24/7. Yeah, 12 years of work experience and certificates to be told that because I am a mother I cannot get the job at that particular store in this season. So, I was told that I qualify to be a crew member but to be paid on the higher end of salary because of my education and work experience. Yeah, I was not to happy about that but after praying God told me to go work the job as a crew member and to trust him. Ironic that store that is hiring cannot find any employees and claims that nobody wants to work, despite there strict criteria. In the midst of filling out job applications I came across a question that said , “religion is to persecute Christians”. Not even lying. On a job application, they are telling there workers in order to work there you have to persecute Christians. But not only that, women who have children are not being accepted in the manager positions and now nobody has enough employees and no one has managers because of that stupid rule. Yet, I will keep my job and keep going and no I will not be fired.

Even at my boyfriend J , job he is going through some things. All at once his co workers take their lunch break and leave him to do all the work by himself. So yes, everyone is going through tough times (my friend has been trained in welding). But you have to understand that though you may be going through tough times, God is not going to allow you to be fired from your job. Though some people may lie on you, there lie will be proven exactly as a lie and you will not be fired. I mean look at UberEats drivers, the customers lie ALL the time but that does not mean that the UberEats driver will be fired. Infact, the more you work UberEats the more your approval ratings go up and up. So, the moral of the story is you have to press forward and keep going. But most UberEats customer do tell the truth (%99).

In My Own Personal Life

In my own personal life, I know that I pursue education to earn more money and thank God I finally passed my college math classes. But in the midst of these times it is I know I had to keep going. For examples, Ruth father left me and abandoned me with Ruth all by myself. Ra’keem lied on me to the police and had me ejected from my apartment in New Bern, North Carolina. I had to move alone with Ruth and pay $720 for daycare that Ra’keem does not help with all. I was hired for a job and had no choice but to work. Then I met my boyfriend J, who helps me financially and provides a safe home. J also fixes my car for me because he went to trade school for welding and he has his own apartment. It was actually J , who told me that I made a bad decision in marrying Ra’keem, and Ra’keem was not the type of man that I should have married. My boyfriend J is four years younger me, but he is more successful and established and more mature than any man I dated in the past. So, there are good men out there you just have to pray.Even though J is Muslim and I am Christian, we are still in a happy and funny relationship with one another. Moral of the story that sometimes you can’t wait for the perfect situation to get out of the storms that come in life. If someone has a boat then get in that boat ASAP. My friend had a boat , I got in his boat to a better life. My job is the boat that I needed, even though I am qualified to be a manager for right now there is a persecution on mothers in manager positions so I have to keep going and moving forward despite of.

Keep Going

I realize that I have to keep going because no weapon formed against me shall prosper. When you are in the midst of trial and tribulations you have to pray for your desired outcome. Pray against the spirit of failure. Pray against losing your job. Praying that you keep your job. Pray that you and your boyfriend can fix your relationship. Pray that you and your boyfriend stay together. Pray that money will come. Pray . Pray. and keep praying !!

Love Diamond,

Free E – Book : Work Hard and Keep Going

James 2:26New International Version26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

James 2:26 I am firm believer in hard work . When you work hard you will always achieve whatever goal you have placed on your heart. It is by the grace of God that you are able to keep up with all the hard work you have to do. I want to encourage the people who work hard for every thing you want to achieve. I pray that God protects your work and that your work is covered by God. That is in Jesus Name.

Habakkuk 1New International Version1 The prophecy that Habakkuk the prophet received.Habakkuk’s Complaint2 How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen?Or cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not save?3 Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds.4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails.The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.The Lord’s Answer5 “Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed.For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.6 I am raising up the Babylonians,[a] that ruthless and impetuous people,who sweep across the whole earth to seize dwellings not their own.7 They are a feared and dreaded people; they are a law to themselves and promote their own honor.8 Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves at dusk.Their cavalry gallops headlong; their horsemen come from afar.They fly like an eagle swooping to devour;9 they all come intent on violence.Their hordes[b] advance like a desert wind and gather prisoners like sand.10 They mock kings and scoff at rulers.They laugh at all fortified cities; by building earthen ramps they capture them.11 Then they sweep past like the wind and go on— guilty people, whose own strength is their god.”Habakkuk’s Second Complaint12 Lord, are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, you[c] will never die.You, Lord, have appointed them to execute judgment; you, my Rock, have ordained them to punish.13 Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?14 You have made people like the fish in the sea, like the sea creatures that have no ruler.15 The wicked foe pulls all of them up with hooks, he catches them in his net,he gathers them up in his dragnet; and so he rejoices and is glad.16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his dragnet,for by his net he lives in luxury and enjoys the choicest food.17 Is he to keep on emptying his net, destroying nations without mercy

The End
