Be Still And Know That I Am God by Queen Diva 7-30-12

Today's Diva's Diamonds:

Be Still And Know That I Am God...It's Magnificent Monday, P.I.N.K. Diamonds! I know that there are many of you who are thinking about the cares of the world and it's bringing you down. I want to say to you that everything is purposeful and God is always in control. What do I mean by everything is purposeful? Well, when bad things happens it causes us to reflect, pray, heal and draw closer to God. Everything that happens in this world is purposeful for you to draw closer to God. Your failures, disappointments, losses, and defeats all are purposeful for you to draw closer to God. I also want to say that God is always in control of every situation. You may have lost your job or can't find a job. You may be getting evicted from your home or don't have enough gas to get through the week! Whatever your situation when you seek God intimately for yourself and build a relationship with Him you will see that God has you in His hands even in the mist of turmoil. You can have peace like you've never know once you embrace that God will take care of YOU.

There are many of you waiting on blessings to manifest and you are wondering if God still hears you and if you will ever see your blessing in your lifetime. The answer is YES you will receive your blessings and promises that God has spoken to you in your lifetime. Right now it's time to BE STILL and know that God is GOD. This is not a time in your life to keep trying to figure things out for yourself. This is a time to keep preparing for your blessing and be ready to receive it at any giving moment. Too many of you are trying to do God's job and God is not pleased. You can't out do or out give God. So it is best that you just BE STILL. I know that is a very hard thing to do when you are ready to do something or call somebody or make plans for yourself. But let me tell you that nothing that you can figure out on your own will be greater than what God has already done in TIME. Remember God is the author and finisher of TIME. It is already done we just have to live life to see it manifest. Your thoughts are not God's thoughts nor your ways God's ways. God is SOVEREIGN, RIGHTEOUS, HOLY, OMNISCIENT AND GLORIOUS! There is nothing that you can do on your own that will be GREATER than what God has already done for you in TIME.

God says, "Be still and know that I am God." I challenge you all to be obedient and WATCH GOD HAPPEN! Your breakthrough is closer than you think! All that you have been praying for and preparing for will come to you! In the meantime be at peace and bloom where you are planted. God's got you! Don't worry and don't keep trying to figure out a plan. Just keep working on the last word that God gave you to do in excellence. God sees you and know exactly what you NEED!

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

Queen Diva Breaks Reverbnation.com Top 5 NY, NY Electronica Dance Music Chart! 7-17-12

CONGRATULATIONS TO QUEEN DIVA FOR BREAKING THE TOP 5 ON REVERBNATION.COM ELECTRONICA DANCE MUSIC NY, NY CHART!!!

http://www.reverbnation.com/queendiva

"I am so overjoyed and overwhelmed by this accolade!!! Just Ordinary People has been on reverbnation for two years starting out on the Top 3 in Houston, TX chart and now breaking the Top 5 spot on the NY, NY chart!!! It's so awesome to me because New York City is my hometown and I was raised in Houston, TX so to peak in both cities is a MARVELOUS thing," says Queen Diva.

What's so amazing about this song is that it was a demo song for International House Recording Artist Adeva twelve years ago and she was never able to record it. Queen Diva's voice was used for "demo vocals" for Adeva to know how the melody would go. Queen Diva asked for ten years for the Producer/Songwriter Malcolm B. Smith of Loopstreet Music to release the song and in 2010 it was released and immediately shot to the Top 3 in the Houston,TX Electronica/Pop chart!

This is definitely a lesson in patience being a virtue. After years of the song sitting on the shelf and then being release two years in one region and then peaking in the Electronica Dance Music capitol of New York City at #5 patience is a word that will definitely make or break an artist.

There's NO "I" in T.E.A.M. by Queen Diva 7-13-12

Today's Diva's Diamonds:
There's no "I" in T.E.A.M.-Together Everyone Achieves Momentum! A couple of weeks ago I was talking to a young anointed and appointed minister who was so excited about where God is taking him and how his pastor uses him at his church home. He was just beaming with excitement in sharing with me all the jobs that he does at his church and how his pastor always calls on him to speak, teach, direct the choir, youth ministry, offering, pray for the congregation and so on. As I was listening with a smile on my face and thinking to myself what about the rest of the leaders in the church are they being used too? Once the young minister finished sharing I asked him, "Do you belong to a small church?" He said, "No, why do you ask?" I said, "I was thinking you must belong to a small church and have to wear many hats." He said no the church is a large church but the pastor always calls on him. I asked him, "Why do you think he always calls on you?" He said, "Because the other ministers in the church do not get up and show initiative to want to help the pastor like he does or show any interest in being right at the pastor's side when he is praying or healing the congregation." I asked him, " Does your church have a Minister's Training Program?" The young minister hesitated and said, "Well, Yes and no." I said, "Please explain." To make a long conversation short the minister said that they do have a program but it is not enforced, mandatory and they don't meet regularly. I told the young minister that explains why the other ministers aren't  being used and why they are not taking initiative to do anything because they are not taught or trained on what to do and why they should do it.

I further explained to the young minister that there are some people who are chosen and appointed by God to be a leader and then there are others who are trained by the anointed and appointed to become a leader. Not everyone has a natural desire to be a leader although they know they have the qualities if they are not trained and mentored towards become one they will never know their true potential and make a difference in this world. I recommended that as a leader in his church home where the pastor respects his ministry and leadership ability it is up to him to help train his fellow ministers and deacons to know the "GREATNESS" that lies within them. Many people don't know that there is GREATNESS lying dormant within them. It takes an AWESOME leader to see beyond their natural eye sight the GREATNESS within their leadership and followers.

There's NO "I" in T.E.A.M.-Together Everyone Achieves Momentum! If only one person does it all the TEAM will never grow, prosper, flourish or bear fruit that is ripe for the taking for the world to partake in abundance! There are just too many young men and women in leadership both in the secular and sacred sectors basking in the "glory" of being selected to do many tasks by their superiors, but not concerned that their team members and fellow leaders need their assistance in being utilized too. Leaders no matter if they are young or old must ALWAYS remember that to be a GREAT leader you must teach your team that each member's job is essential to be productive and successful. One person cannot be a TEAM. A team cannot rely on one person to do it all and expect to receive the same reward that is given in victory when a project, ministry, goal or purpose is completed.

I challenged the young minister as I'm am challenging YOU reading this post today if you are the person that your supervisor ALWAYS calls to get a project done, start a workshop or if you are minister you are called to say the opening prayer, host the youth conference or merely carry the pastor's Bible remember there is no "I" in T.E.A.M.-Together Everyone Achieves Momentum! If you are the "CHOSEN ONE" by your superior then you are the "CHOSEN ONE" to help your T.E.A.M to be productive, fruitful and purposeful. Ask to start a leader's workshop, weekly Bible Study or on the job start a Toastmasters International chapter to sharpen speaking in leadership skills or maybe start a focus group to target team members weaknesses and turn them into strengths!

To be a LEADER you must think like a T.E.A.M. player! Tell me your progress report! I'd love to hear how things have turned around when you took the "I" out and embraced your T.E.A.M-Together Everyone Achieves Momentum Players!

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
