Trusting God While Raising A Child Born Premature

Isaiah 53:5New International Version

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.

**

In 2021 I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Ruth, who was born premature. In the Black culture I don’t think premature birthing is discussed and how time consuming and how much it costs financially. Don’t think that once they get older the sickness is over because it’s not. Actually , as they get older more is discovered and because the medical field is evolving. When ( Ruth) was a baby , it was recommended that (she) have surgery.. However I didn’t feel the peace of God on that and that was when we were living in a house in Oxon Hill , Maryland. Years later as a single mother I am still dealing with the consequences financially of having a (baby that was born sick ) by myself.

In this season I am learning contentment and I am learning to thank God in all circumstances, in all situations, and all events. So I bless the name of the Lord in the midst of this. I thank God that he has provided insurance. I thank God he has provided money. I thank God he has provided more than enough for me to take care of my daughter.

i say this so that you know don’t think you have a premature baby it’s over when they turn one because it’s not.

You’re just getting started. There are unplanned emergency rooms visits, surgeries , doctor’s notes , excused absence from school due to medical reasons , pediatricians, and so much more involved with having baby born premature. My original due date was October 19, 2021 – she was born September 23, 2021.

No , the father ( Ra’keem ) has not been helpful. I have had to deal and handle this all financially myself but God has helped me. Moral of the story when you have a premature baby brace yourself for the reality of :

  • Stomach surgery
  • Autism diagnosis
  • Asthma
  • Speech Therapy

And so much more. But know that even if you are doing it as a single parent the Lord will send people to help you and he will indeed provide.

Sincerely,

Dates With Jesus: Lilo and Stitch

Dates With Jesus: Lilo and Stitch

Do not be excessively righteous [like those given to self-conceit], and do not be overly wise (pretentious)—why should you bring yourself to ruin? – Ecclesiastes 7:16 Amplified Bible

Early Showings

          So I took my daughter to watch Lilo and Stitch, and for a 3 year old she did pretty good. I remember watching Lilo and Stitch on Disney channel growing up . So it is interesting to see how this movie has time traveled to a whole new generation. I went to a early showing, and I thank God for the new comfortable seats that recline, because the entire time my baby wanted to cuddle and lay on mommy.. Meanwhile mommy was sleepy but I hung in there through the entire movie so kudos to me!

What We Ate

          So effectively immediately I am on a diet , because I ate ;

  • Nachos
  • Popcorn
  • Candy (The Whole Bag)

But at least I drank water, so I balanced it out. But when me and Ruth get together, we eating everything. Ruth is blessed with genes that she can eat whatever she wants and not gain one pound, she is naturally petite. Me, however I have to watch it. I ate some Bar-B-Que steak this morning and instantly knew I had to go to the gym ASAP, because I am 20 pounds away from my goal.

Movie Review

          For the times we are in.. I thought Lilo and Stitch was a good movie for adults to watch with their kids. Kids need to experience going out and having fun. So she really liked it. I have been reading parenting books and am trying to do more fun activities with my daughter. But my baby really liked the movie. The movie quality was good, and it looked like the production was well put together and not cheap.

          So I enjoyed this date with Jesus. I took my baby for , school immunization shots and her check-up. Of course babies cry when they get a needle of immunization. So I took Ruth here so she would feel better. I liked the movie and I hope you all enjoy it as well !

Love,

Press Forward

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. – Jeremiah 29:11

I Had To Recalibrate My Thinking

I was going through something and I was praying. God told me , ” Diamond when you pray more then you’ll have the answers that you need”. I am a prophet but I was wondering if I had become so religious that I was missing God. I had to go into the bathroom stall and straight warfare in tongues because I was dealing with something in the spirit realm mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Years ago God told me to purchase a house and to plan ahead of time. If I had listened things would be better for me now. So I made the decision that I would be intentional about obeying God and listen to the things of God when he speaks.

What Are You Shopping For ?

Are you a customer in the spirit realm ? The cheaper something is the quicker it breaks. But the more expensive it is the better it is.. I know people say that God is not a genie in a bottle , but I beg to differ. The Holy Bible says that whatever I ask in prayer I shall receive. View yourself as a happy customer grocery shopping in the presence of God for something awesome and amazing. You already have the money for it , you already have the interest for it , and you already have the grit to pay the price for it.

So today on April 29, 2025 don’t give up but instead keep going. Keep going and pray against a spirit of sudden termination. We pray that you do not suffer a termination.

In Jesus Name ,

Happy April 2025 Real Life Real Jesus !

Happy April 2025 Real Life Real Jesus !

Colossians 1:5

New International Version

5 the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel.

God Is Replenishing You

          Sometimes when you go through betrayals you can feel like it is the end, but it is not. Remember that before they crucified Jesus they cried out “Hosanna”. They honored him and laid palms in his path, but their heart was not with them. So do not believe that you are stuck in a “spiritual rut”, “spiritual drought”, or that you are experiencing “spiritual dryness” because that is not true. Think of it this way. You know that you are thirsty because you are a little parched and need some water to quench your thirst. So you are maybe a little parched and need God to quench the thirst in your life.

          Walking through hard seasons is not fun, and it can lead to a lot of silent tears and crying seasons at nights. One of the biggest misconceptions is that “sin is the reason that happened in your life” and this is not necessarily true. Jesus Christ did not commit sin when he was crucified. Some things that you go through is simply because someone was jealous of you or envied you. The word of God says in Matthew 27:18 Berean Literal Bible, “For he knew that they had delivered Him up through envy”. So there are some things that you go through that is not because you did anything wrong, but because someone was jealous of you.

The Power of Reading The Holy Bible

          In this season of my life, I have been intentional of waking up at 5:00 a.m. – 6:00 a.m. and reading the Holy Bible. I have been intentional of studying the Holy Bible for my own spiritual growth and building my own relationship with Jesus Christ. I know in my own personal life, I need God to do something miraculous and to lift me up from the season that I am going through. So I know, I am not the only one experiencing this tough time but I know that God is preparing me for something major in the future.

          I want to repeat that last sentence, “I know that God is preparing me for something in the future”. Okay, now I want that sentence to apply to you, “I know that God is preparing you for something in the future”. I believe that the people who follow me, God wants them to lead wherever they are located. That means something to God. What you are going through right now is preparing you for something bigger and better in the future. Even when Joseph was in prison, God was still preparing him for something in the future. The word of God says not harden your heart. I know anger, resentment, and maybe even bitterness may be affecting your heart condition but know that God is working things for your good. Know that the living water is conquering and washing away everything in your life that is not of his will (John 15, Ephesians 4:1, John 4:14).

God Meeting You Where You Are At

          I could imagine how the woman at the well felt. She was a prophetess but she had relationship issues with the men she was dating. None of them matched the call on her life, and so she was constantly faced with divorce because the magnitude of her future destiny was bigger than the men she was married to. I know I feel that woman of the well in my life, constantly I have dated men who just did not understand and who did not get it and they dragged me down… But now I am starting to make better decisions on the type of man I should be attracted to. But The gist of what I am trying to say is that God went to meet her where she was at.

          So many times people think that you have to be polished and perfect for God to step in and help you and that is not true at all. God went right to that water source known as the well and met that woman, because he wanted to meet her where she was at. God’s promises and prophecies are meeting you where you are at.

Be Renewed In Your Faith

When I was a little girl they made sure to tell me that I was never going to be successful and never amount to anything, for 18 years that was the repeated narrative that I heard over and over again and no it was not true. But they said that because of how I looked, and so when I got married to my soon to be ex-husband Ra’keem he told me that one of the reasons that he caused me to be ejected from my home was because of my “beauty”. So at 27 years old, I was faced with the fact that all these people had tried to ruin my life because I was pretty.. Yeah.

          I am not saying that to brag, because being ejected from my apartment in 2023 is nothing to be proud of. But I am saying that times that we are living in that is what people do, they betray you because of beauty, shoes, money, cars, and clothes. For men , one of your friends might betray you because you just got a new haircut. It sounds odd that something so small could lead to something so detrimental but it’s true.

          So because of that my opinion of faith is being fine tuned as God is teaching me something new. I believe in “realistic faith”. That means that I have to pray for what I technically do not qualify for, but I believe that God can do it for me and make me supernaturally qualified for it (Hebrews 12, John 3:16, Colossians 3:2, Philippians 2)). I can tell you that people have allowed a spirit of envy to consume them because of social media. People do CRAZY things that are rooted in envy because of social media. So you have to be very careful on how you move in these last days.

Keep Interceding

          I live in Chicago, Illinois so daily I ask God to protect me. You have to ask God to protect you from the envious plots and plans that come from those who are jealous of you. Do not be naïve to the enemy and his devices (1 Thessalonians 5:8, 1 Peter 5:7). When the Pharisees were jealous of Jesus Christ they had him whipped, spat on, mocked, pierced, and crucified.  Thank the Lord, that Jesus Christ was risen and then ascended into heaven. But his crucifixion is a warning to the body of Christ that envy does lead to a calvary and crucifying experience.

Create A Steady Routine To Hear God

I was dealing with something and I said God, “I need to hear your voice”. Sometimes the enemy sends so many people opinions because satan is trying to drown out the voice of God in your life, do not let that happen. The word of God says that no weapon formed against you shall prosper in Isaiah 54:17. When jealous people say that you can’t accomplish something, God says that you can indeed accomplish it (2 Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 4:12). You have to create a steady routine that brings you closer to God and builds a consistent pattern to draw you closer and closer to the things of God.

Conclusion

         There are so many resources that can help you draw closer to God, and I pray that God leads you to one that is indeed Biblically sound and of good doctrine. Because every prayer line is not of God and every podcast is not of God. But I hope that God does lead you to a podcast or someone who knows how to pray things that are in tune with the frequencies of heaven. I pray that God instills a good structure and stability in your life , and that your atmosphere would be molded and shaped into something positive and great.

Focusing On Career Advancement

Focusing On Career Advancement

Verse Of The Day – “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows”. – Psalms 23:5 New American Standard Bible

The Answer Is Yes

          So say you have a phone interview for a company and they tell you that you are hired immediately after the interview. You pass your background check, and now things are finally moving in the direction that you need it to head in. Things are finally getting better. But I want to remind you that The Holy Bible says that to whom much is given much is required.

          Right now you might be in a season, where you wish you were living in something better. Well you have to do things like fixing your credit score, building your resume, and maybe even getting more active and involved in the community to build a good reputation. Sometimes you have to broaden your horizon and expand your influence, to get connected to the right people that will help elevate you into a better season.

          I believe that you are about to hear the word, “Yes” and you are about to hear the word, “YES” a lot. I believe that you are going to start smiling and hearing better words for yourself and that God is going to help you achieve what you desire to achieve, and it shall happen supernaturally.

Ignore The Stupidity

          I know that I am a prophet, and I know that I am a ordained minister. Sometimes people get jealous of me, and I have to ignore them and keep going. I used to have a really bad anger problem, but God is healing me from that issue of anger. You have to learn to ignore people, because they mumble and say things under their breath because they are jealous of you. Do not allow people’s comments to hurt your feelings instead cause it to roll off your back. Move on and know that God is still going to keep advancing you. God does not need someone permission to bless you. God does not care if someone does not want to see you blessed because he is going to bless you anyways. Moral of the story, learn to ignorance and keep going. Do not be foolish, and do not idle away your time worried about what someone else thinks, but instead move on and let God fight your battles.

2 Chronicles 20:15 King James Version

15 “And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s”.

The Purpose Of Elevation

The Purpose Of Elevation

Verse Of The Day : “Fair and beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the earth, Is Mount Zion [the City of David] in the far north, The city of the great King”. – Psalms 48:2 Amplified Bible

**

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.
