Diva's Diamonds: My Next Level of Living by Queen Diva 3-29-11

                                                         

Today's Diva's Diamonds:

My Next Level of Living! I have been on an AMAZING Faith Walk for the last 7 years once I accepted my call to ministry. I have been through many disappointments, trials, tribulations, loss, triumphs and awesome moments of GRATITUDE! I asked God to make me a VESSEL and I truly didn't know what I was asking God! LOL! But what a journey I've been on that has taken me from Washington D.C. to the FEMA Headquarters with the Katrina/Rita Hurricane Victims seeking an extension of their Housing Vouchers to the Pacific Garden Mission's The Gospel League Home Shelter Women's Lighthouse Bible Program in Chicago, ILL for a 90 day internship in Women Ministry. I've ministered to men in prisons in Angola, Louisiana as well as to women in medical prisons in Houston, Texas. I've hosted and produced my own radio show on KPFT 90.1 FM called Divine Voices with Queen Diva for 2 years where I ministered to 6.5 million listeners in the Houston/Galveston area in simplest terms that God is everywhere, in everything and LOVES everybody. I studied at the Dallas Theological Seminary School in conjunction with Inspire Women Leadership Institute where I was the first guest Psalmist and graduated in the Charter Inspire Women Leadership Institute Leadership Certificate Graduation in 2009. 

Now beginning Wednesday, March 30, 2011 my NEXT LEVEL of LIVING will begin as I will be crowned the Inaugural Integrity Beauty Woman of Grace 2011 as a National Ambassador of the Integrity Beauty Women of Excellence Christian Women Network of Ohio and ordained Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ by Reverend Raymond E. Allen of Champions for Christ Ministries! I know that after this day my world will never be the same and my official charge will be given to me by Lord God Almighty! I have been in a reflective mode all day long and truly thankful for every tear I've shed and laughter that has sprung from my soul! I never imagined this is where I would be 20 years after I graduated from Prairie View A&M University, a part of the Texas A&M University system, that I would be right here! I know where I've been and I know who I am and soon I will be ministering in MY NEXT LEVEL OF LIVING...

For those of you who are about to embark into your NEXT LEVEL OF LIVING my prayer for you is to hold on to the PEACE of GOD in all that you do and everywhere that you go so that you can continually TRUST GOD at HIS WORD for everything in your LIFE! For others who haven't got to their NEXT LEVEL...Keep LIVING...PRAYING...FASTING...PREVAILING...STUDYING...INTERCEDING...

BELIEVING GOD at HIS WORD...For "It Ain't Over Until God Says It's Over!"

Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!

Love, Laughter & Light,

Diva's Diamonds: It's A New Season...It's A New Day by Queen Diva! 3-15-11

Today's Diva's Diamonds:
It's A New Season...It's a new day! Spring is almost here!!! Are you ready for the change of SEASON? Every 4 months we have a new SEASON whether we are ready for it or not! Spring into Summer into Fall into Winter without fail our weather is going to change. Animals are going to prepare for their homes, food and families to adjust to the change of temperature. What are you doing for your new SEASON? Are you doing anything at all? You should because with every change of season come a new year and with a new year comes a new age added to your LIFE! Time waits for no one and that includes you reading this blog right now! Yes, YOU reading this blog right now you have to prepare for your new SEASON! You can no longer afford to just wait until the last minute anymore for you are getting older and you have to prepare for what's coming next in your life. If you do not then you will continue to either scramble around when you need a new coat or gloves or shorts and sandals! Or you will do without and suffer through the change of weather without the needed clothes and equipment that you need to survive or thrive! It's time for you to THRIVE and not just survive through SEASONS!!! God wants you to LIVE your LIFE more abundantly not in the "Just Enough" phase anymore. But you won't if you don't start prepare and planning for your NEW SEASON!

I can speak from experience....when I was pregnant with my daughter I knew she was in my belly and I knew she was growing and I knew she was coming but I didn't prepare like I really should have. It wasn't until my girlfriends on my job gave me a baby shower at 6 months that I realized I really need to prepare for my daughter's arrival! That was 6 month way too late for me to wake up and prepare but I was in my late 20's and I really didn't have a clue what I was doing as a young mother. I continued to do things like that for many years until a wonderful woman of God asked me when did you prepare for your daughter's arrival and I realized it wasn't until 6 months into my pregnancy that I started to prepare and she then arrived in the 8th month. So I only had two month after my wake up call to actually prepare for her. I have to say I was truly blessed to have family and friends who came to my rescue to assist me with her from the day that she was born, but what if I didn't have assistance? What if I had no one to help me? I never forgot that and I changed over the years in preparing for things to come. I leave room for God to guide and direct me now more than ever but I learned that I have to prepare for whatever happens in the coming seasons.

I shared this to say that God wants us to be ready for what HE is presenting to us in every new season. We can no longer just wait until the last minute because God is ready to take us to higher heights and greener pastures. God is waiting on us to be ready to receive, mature to take on new responsibilities and patient enough to endure character building experiences to refine us to become "P.I.N.K. Diamonds" and shine resplendently!

I challenge you to be more conscience of being prepared for what is to come NEXT in your LIFE! The NEW SEASON is going to come! Will you be ready for the New Season....for it will be a NEW DAY just as sure as the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West.

Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!

Diva's Diamonds: It's Time To Move by Queen Diva! 3-8-11

Today's Diva's Diamonds:
It's Time To Move! Today I was told by God, "It's Time To Move, My Daughter!" I had known this for many months and God has given me many signs and scriptures pertaining to this move! The only thing is I don't know where I'm going next! I have my bags packed and ready to go but I don't know specifically where I'm going to go next. I keep thinking of Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3 NIV "The Lord had said to Abram (Abraham becomes his name later in the Book Of Genesis), Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."

Have you ever been in a place where God will tell you to do something and it doesn't make sense and yet you are obedient to do exactly what HE tells you to do and God shows up RIGHT ON TIME to BLESS YOU? I have my entire life! I remember many times my Mama would tell me and my brother to pack your bags we are moving! I would ask where are we going, Mom? She would say to the new home that God has for us! Years later my Mom would admit many times as a young single teenage mother raising two kids she had no idea where we would be going but she just had a GREAT FAITH and FAVOR on her life that God would always bless us with a new home greater than that LAST!

For me God tells me that my next move is beyond me just moving into a new home but a new level of living and ministry! My whole life has been preparation for what God had planned for me all along! I had no idea that I would be encouraging and motivating people from all around the world! Or that I would be a psalmist and minister of God. But God knew and my whole life's experiences has led me to this moment right now! I'm excited and a little scared but not scared where I'm afraid but more nervous if I'm ready for this next level. But God assures me that I'm ready for this next level and to go before the nations!

If you too are at a point in your life where God has told you it's time to move then I highly recommend that you get your mental, emotional and physical bags packed for God is about to take to places you've never dreamed! All that you have endured up to this point remember God has always been with you and will never leave you nor forsake you! It's your time to be elevated and God knows exactly what you can handle! You can handle this MOVE! You can handle this CHANGE!!!

I encourage you to be COMPLETELY obedient to do exactly what God has told you to do in preparation for your MOVE! For time is of the essence and when God MOVES HE always moves QUICKLY! Please share with me your praise report on your MOVE! I will definitely continue to share with you mine!

Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!

Love, Laughter & Light,
Queen Diva

Diva's Diamonds: What's Next Lord? by Queen Diva 3-1-11

Today's Diva's Diamonds:
What's next Lord? It's a question that has been going through my mind for the last hour or so because I've been still for quite a long time and I've done everything that I can possibly do right where I am. I've fasted, prayed, studied the Word of God, have fellowship with other "believers" of Christ, rejoiced in the Lord all throughout the day with other "Saints", encouraged others, motivated others, forgave all who have wronged me, found closure with all who's chapters in my book of life I have finished reading and writing and I serve others everyday in complete obedience to God's will for my life and journey. So I've been asking God...What's next? My FAITH is being tested time after time after time and it seems everyone else around me is prospering and being elevated doing what they have always dreamed of doing. I know that I shouldn't judge others successes by my own, but at the same time I feel like I'm going to explode not being able to use my gifts and talents in a mighty way. I'm not able to go places and do things at the level of excellence I long to do due to lack of monetary manifestations that have been promised to me but have not come to pass. I can't say what I feel is frustration or even being anxious it's more uncertainty of what I am to do NEXT when it looks like I've done all that I can do at this level of living.

But then I heard the Lord say, "Be at peace my daughter and don't trouble yourself with timetables for I am the author and finisher of time. You are exactly where you are suppose to be and doing exactly what you are suppose to do. I have everything and everyone in my hands and although it may look like your promise is not coming it's still in effect! I know the plans for you. Plans to prosper you...plans with a hope and a future. For I am God and God alone and if I've taken you out of situations before I can do it time and time again. All you need to do is to continue to wait no matter how bad it looks, no matter how hungry you may get for doing more and wanting more, no matter if your friends do not return your calls or answer your emails it's not them who will help you in your time of STORM it is I, The GREAT I AM, Lord of Hosts, Maker of Heaven and Earth, Creator of all mankind who will rescue you and elevate you and make room for your talents for all the world to see and be blessed by the ministry(serve) I have placed in you. Be at peace and BE YE READY for it is time for you to move from this mountain!"

Hallelujah! I'm sharing this word with you for there are so many of you out there who feel the very same way! God has not forgotten you and HE knows all and sees ALL! ALL as in everything that is going on in the world in Heaven and in Hell! There is never a reason for you to PANIC or fall apart if you TRUST the LORD thy God will all of your heart, mind and soul! There can be no room for doubt that God will get you out of any situation that you are in. For God is a ON TIME God....YES HE IS!

No matter what it looks like...TRUST God! What's NEXT? The Lord says get ready for your elevation, be prepared to move at any moment for things will happen for you in a blink of an eye! God is about to move people and shift some levels of LEADERSHIP in a mighty way. So for those who have been waiting and toiling patiently under leadership who has not recognized them or job opportunities that you would think would never come your way or promises that have not yet been fulfilled...IT WILL & SHALL come to PASS very soon! Are you ready to tell God....I got NEXT instead of What's Next, Lord? When you are you'll be able to walk through "DIVINE" doors of OPPORTUNITY and never touch the doorknobs!

Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!

Love, Laughter & Light,
Queen Diva
