Engaged On The First Date

Ecclesiastes 11:4Living Bible

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

Having A Successful Interview

Matthew 25:21King James Version21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

When You Go Into A Group Interview

When you are going in for a job interview you want to hear this words , “You’re hired”! Being called in for a interview is a major feat , and you may find yourself in the position where you have to work 2 jobs ( Amos 9:13-15) ! With that being said when being called in for a group interview , you can still be selected on the spot to be hired to work for that company in the select hours that you have chosen .

In The Holy Bible , the word of God teaches on Proverbs 6 and how important it is to maintain consistent employment.

Employment is a necessity. So do everything that you can to remain employed. I hope that you have a successful job interview and that you hear those words , “You’re Hired”! As you are preparing ahead of your interview, try to bring your resume , and impress your new employer – and remember to dress professional !

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

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 !
