Engaged On The First Date

Ecclesiastes 11:4Living Bible

4 If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.[a]

Micro-Dating

What is Micro-Dating ? Well in a world of economic turmoil that is happening world-wide , but particularly in the USA – people rarely have time to sit down and go on a date because of money , time , and finances. Many people find themselves having to juggle and balance hold 2-4 jobs at a time – which leaves a small amount of time to recall fully “date”. But you can “micro-date”. But how ? Well a quick date , immediately after work such as ;

  • Grabbing a cup of coffee from Starbucks immediately in the morning after your work shift – This gives you 1 hours to actually get to know your interest and ask a few questions about who they are and what do they like to do.. This can range from $2 – $30 micro date , which is quick , easy , and affordable !
  • Getting a quick bite to eat at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts – This makes you like urban and shows your love interest that you’re not super religious and that you are someone that they can talk to and ultimately get to know in the long run . This micro – date can range from $5 – $50, and you can sit there and enjoy a cup of coffee and get to know each other ..
  • Going on a walk and using it as a time to exercise together ! A walk is absolutely free of charge , and it can be a good idea for a picnic to sit down and talk and open up to each other . Why don’t you grab a blanket , some fruit , or some food that your significant other likes and take time to enjoy each other presence !

Taking time to enjoy micro dating , can lead to bigger dating and actually going a wonderful more expensive dates that can become actually engagement proposal . Dates like :

  • Dinner on a yacht ( boat )!
  • A boat tour of the city
  • A fun date like the arcade

There are so many great ideas that you could think of. Also, bring boyfriend/ girlfriend to church and introduce them to the faith of Christ !

The moral of the story is , the word of God says that faith without works is dead. If you want a spouse , then you need to do your part and actually date someone and get to know them so that you can become husband and wife !

  • John 3:16

What A Night It Has Been

Isaiah 54:17New King James Version

17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.

Being a parent comes with unexpected hospital visits. On this episode of the ghetto parenting life chronicles, my ( daughter Ruth) had to be admitted. I believe God for supernatural healing. ( Ruth ) was very sick and throwing up . I say this because as a parent don’t automatically assume that throwing up is normal because it could be a sign that the child needs to go to the doctor.

Because we will be in the hospital for one week. Moral of the story don’t automatically assume that your child is being “extra”, “dramatic”, or “doing something for attention”. Something could really be wrong so get it checked out !

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,

Minister Precious – Diamond S. Chessier

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,

Learning How To Protect Your Good Decisions

Learning How To Protect Your Good Decisions

Verse Of The Day , “28 Micaiah declared, “If you ever return safely, the Lord has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Mark my words, all you people!” – 1 Kings 22:28 NIV

Protecting What You Pray For

          As I was getting ready today a word dropped in my spirit about protecting your decision making. See when you make the right decision, you should know that it is indeed coming from God. However, there are people who may try to conspire against you to try and make it seem like your decision is a lie and it is not , and that is something that I learned the hard way in 2023.

          In 1 Kings 22, the prophet has said that King Ahab was going to die and that prophecy was indeed true. God had already determined that King Ahab was going to die. However, there were 400 people (lying false prophets) that had prophesied success for King Ahab even though they were wrong. Now 400 people had conspired against Prophet Micaiah and tried to make it seem like his prophecy was wrong, so much so that they even arrested him and put him in jail.

“28 Micaiah declared, “If you ever return safely, the Lord has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Mark my words, all you people!” – 1 Kings 22:28 NIV

But Micaiah Was Right

          But it did come to pass and it was proven so that Micaiah was right, and all the other 400 people were indeed wrong. King Ahab did die just like Prophet Micaiah said.

          When I read 1 Kings 22 , God began to speak to me that you have to understand some people will lie on you because you are making the right decision, and in the end those who are like Ahab are still going to die. So no matter what they do, you will still come out on top. You will be the head and not the tail. You will be above and not beneath. You have to protect yourself , from the attacks that come from people who are jealous that you are making the right decision. Because the first thing someone will do when they are jealous of your decision is lie and try to have you put into prison, but the God that you serve will not allow that according  Isaiah 54:17.

          I pray that God will show you through reading The Holy Bible, how to guard your good decisions from the devourer (Malachi 3:10, Proverbs 4:23). You have to keep people away from you, who are jealous of your good decisions and who will conspire against you because you are making GOOD decisions.

          Your good choices matter before God, and it is showing that he can trust you with choices and paths. In life you should desire to be responsible and be professional. God has a good thing prepared for your life, but he needs you to gain wisdom in protecting your choices and protecting your decisions.

“The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of wisdom [its starting point and its essence], And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding and spiritual insight”. – Proverbs 9:10 Amplified Bible

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”.
