Trusting God While Raising A Child Born Premature

Isaiah 53:5New International Version

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

The Workplace

Make no doubt that you need employment. Employment is how you pay your bills and how you are able to financially support yourself. In regard to employment be intentional about praying about your job and asking God to protect you. Ask God to keep you and cover you at the workplace. This was so short , but I believe somebody needed to read this. Stay encouraged and keep going.

How To Prepare When You Are Having Dreams Of Pregnancy

How To Prepare When You Are Having Dreams Of Pregnancy

“One day during the wheat harvest, Reuben found some mandrakes growing in a field and brought them to his mother, Leah. Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.” – Genesis 30:14 NLT

A Joyous Time Of Celebration

          I believe that God designed pregnancy to be a wonderful time and a joyous time of celebration. No matter what stage in life you are in : single , married, or engaged.. Pregnancy is a great time as you prepare to welcome and birth a new life.

          Now, pregnancy is not really complex. How you get pregnant is that the sperm has to fertilize the egg and wala you are pregnant. But what about when you start dreaming of babies and dreaming of pregnancy.. what does that mean?

          Basically, it means that God has already made a decision that you are going to give birth and he has a plan for that child. It means that God does not want you to abort the baby, because he has a plan for the child. Every child that was chosen by God in the Bible, was first prophesied about. Now because we do not have to sacrifice lambs and goats, to get a answer from God – now the prophecy can come to you in a dream that you are indeed about to give birth within the next 2 years and you need to get your life together.

Prepare Now

          If God has already told you ahead of time that you are about to give birth then now is the time, for you to prepare. Now is the time for you to fix your credit score, look for a new apartment that is spacious, look for a new career that provides more money, start researching daycares, do research on local pediatricians, and buy a new car that is spacious for you and the baby. So much can happen in a 12 month time span.. But you have to do your part and be a responsible parent and prepare in the right manner for the baby that God has already told you is going to happen.

          Many times negative doctor’s come with the word that you’ll never have a baby and that is not true at all. You will conceive. There were so many people in the Bible who were told that they would never conceive, and lo and behold 9 months later they were indeed holding a baby.

          If you keep having dreams about you being pregnant ; that does not mean someone else is pregnant and that does not symbolize death. That means that God has a plan for the child that he has chosen you specifically to birth. So mama get ready ! Because baby season is coming and it is coming quickly !

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,

This Is A Sad Story and I Hope He Recovers

This Is A Sad Story and I Hope He Recovers

Becareful Who You Date

          So there has been a story out about what happened to Que in Day 26. Now I remember seeing Que, praising God in church on national television on Making The Band. For years it has been known that P. Diddy is not only a rapist, a pedophile, a human trafficker, but a overall monster but he was in the church connected to T.D. Jakes. Now common sense says that birds of a feather flock together.

          T.D. Jakes ministry is not one that God is supporting and their financial backing and “push” does not come from God. Now he has handed the church to his daughter, and he was told to do that to cover up his connection to P.Diddy.

          I have to say something, because a lot of young Christians are not falling for the T.D. Jakes explanation about P.Diddy. It is so disappointing to see how many people are trying to defend T.D. Jakes despite all of the perversion and rituals he has done behind closed doors.

          Despite what has happened, The Potter’s House Dynasty is going to collapse because of the judgment of God. There is no way that Bishop would be in connection with a man like P.Diddy who was drugging, assaulting, and kidnapping and God not step in. Despite the free masonry and the other backing behind The Potter’s House that is not enough to protect them from the hand of God.

          As the body of Christ, please note that P.Diddy does not deserve grace. P.Diddy deserves life in prison, and he deserves to die in jail. The word of God says that whatever a man sows that he shall also reap. P.Diddy is going to reap all the evil that he did sow in the church and to other entertainers in the music industry. But for T.D. Jakes to make his monster and rapist known as P.Diddy think he was comfortable to be in the presence of God because they were sleeping with each other, is quick example that God is not playing with people in this season nor in this day and hour.

          But in regard to dating, Dawn is not innocent and she is evil for what she did because he gave the appearance that he loved her. In return she helped drug him and she helped P.Diddy. That is why I say becareful who you get involved with (men becareful.. women becareful). The facts is T.D. Jakes was helping P.Diddy. Now because I know what is to come, T.D. Jakes is going to be brought into that P.Diddy trial and he is going to be arrested and face jail time for hiding facts and evidence for P.Diddy. The truth of what is really going on in The Potter’s House in Dallas , Texas is about to come out and that entire organization (from the top, bottom, and every nook and cranny) is going to fall and collapse because now The Jakes family is blaspheming. Because the Jakes family was involved in covering up P.Diddy human trafficking and then still went to get in the pulpit to preach – No, God is about to shut that church down and organization down forever.
