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”.

Preparing For An Interview

For just as the body apart from spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead. – James 2:26

Keep Going

The word of God teaches in Ecclesiastes 3 that there is a season for everything. Sometimes, a season comes where you are at seasonal employment to hold you for the time being. The word of God said in Haggai for the children of Israel to go back to work. I want you to know that you have been praying but you will have employment. So be encouraged because it is going to happen for you, and it will happen suddenly.

You may have put in a lot of effort for your application, and you anxiously waiting for a reply. But take this time to consecrate yourself and draw closer to God. You can keep praying, praying, and praying but if you are not consecrating then you are praying for nothing. So, take the time to take advantage of any interview’s preparation tutorial. Take the time to study. Take the time to study The Holy Bible.

Stay Faithful In The Process

Stay faithful in the process. Despite what is going, stay focused and focus on the goal. Focus on the bottom line. Focus do not get distracted but instead just keep focusing. Focus, Focus, and Focus some more.

In my own life I had to make some decisions about my diet. I was offered chicken, and I said no because I am focusing on spending time and getting closer to God in this season. The word of God says in Esther 8:4, ““Then the king held out the golden scepter toward Esther. So, Esther arose, and stood before the king”. Somebody is going to hold an interview for you. Somebody is going to do something for you. Somebody is going to call you in for a interview. Somebody is going to email you for a interview. Somebody is going to do something in your favor. Somebody is going to hire you for employment.

It Is Going To Happen

The Day is going to come, and you will have a job. Nobody praying, nobody laying on the floor, nobody not eating for hours to pray against is going to work. You have to stay focused, and you have to stay positive. Because it is going to happen for you. Things will get better for you.

Kingdom Marriages Loading…

Matthew 19:5-7Expanded Bible

5 And God said, ‘So a man will leave his father and mother and be ·united with [joined to] his wife, and the two will become ·one body [as though they were one person; T one flesh; Gen. 2:24].’ 6 So they are no longer two, but one. God has joined the two together, so no one should separate them.”

While Working

I was doing research and found so many amazing pictures of marriage. I found black Marriages. I found interracial marriages. I found Jewish marriages and they were great pictures. But while I was looking at pictures God told me to believe him for something great in my love life. I must admit, right now I am in the midst of divorce… but God told me that my next husband is a GREAT husband. I decided that I would believed God for his promises that I am a woman who believes, and I am woman who loves much. I have faith that God would bless me with a good husband and a marriage that will be used for his Glory and his purpose.

Working While I Wait

Right now I serve at church as a Usher. I am rebuilding myself, and molding myself into a woman of God. But I also started running again, and taking better care of my body. I have lost 134 pounds so far. In 2022 when I got on the scale I was a whopping 354 pounds after the baby. In October 2024 I was 223. So I am very close to my goal . But I made the decision that I wanted to live and be healthy. Also, I decided to lose more weight to prepare my body for birthing again. I did not want to become pregnant at 354 pounds because that would have pushed me to 400 pounds. Below is a picture of me at 354 pounds.

Now because I was in The Marines, the 354 was really sold. It was not loose fat. So I am grateful for that. But I just don’t like having stretch marks and roles. I used to be really against getting cosmetic surgery to have extra skin removed, but what I will say is now if you lose weight and have to have the skin removed for health reasons that do what is best. I have to get my knees realigned and right now I am looking for a specialist. In case you did not know getting very big can mess your knees up very badly. So right now even though I have stretch marks and what not I am still trying to get my body back to what I looked like before pregnancy. But what I will say is that black women , do not eat so much fastfood while pregnant. I ate a lot of Chipotle, Popeye’s, and Chick Fil A and I got to 354. So just watch how much fast food you consume.

Love Yall,

Precious-Diamond Sandre’a Chessier, Usher
