Well Done Daughter

You are God's precious daughter, and He will never leave you, or forsake you, He will be faithful until the end, and you have to understand that you are more than just "His daughter" but you are His princess, His beloved, His delight, and He rejoices in you. You are beautiful and amazing. Talented and precious. And your Heavenly Father will quiet you with His love, and hold you His arms, and never let you go. Remember that you are never alone and you have never been alone because your Heavenly Father has been with you all along. He understands your pain and your confusion, your anger and frustration, your tears and your regrets. But He cares so much for you, you are the apple of His eye. Everything that is important to you, is important to Him too. His love for you will never end. No matter how far you go, His love will never end and will always be available to you. He has examined you heart and He knows everything about you even how many hairs are on your head. He knows your thoughts and He sees the tears that fall from your eyes at times. But He goes before you and follows behind you. He places His hand of blessing on your head and His strength will support you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and your Heavenly Father is so very proud of you. You are the daughter of the King who is well pleased with you. Nothing you have done can erase the love that your Heavenly Father has for you. His thoughts about you are precious and cannot be numbered. You are His princess, His beloved, His precious daughter. So don't ever give up and don't ever throw in the towel, because your Father sees all from the brokenness in your families to the extraordinary things that you do. He has equipped you to do great and marvelous things and every time you put forth your best effort He says "That's my girl." You are loved by a Heavenly Father that is with you always. Rest easy knowing that you are the daughter of the King and He is well pleased with you everyday. Keep Calm and DIVA On!

Hope in the Storm

During one of the most painful times of my life I truly found myself fantasizing about death. I never would have killed myself, but many days I did hope death would take me. For a moment of my life I didn't live; I simply existed. I was plagued with daily pain in my head and in my heart. I suffered daily- spiritually, physically, and emotionally, which led to pretty deep depression and anxiety. Fear is one of the enemy’s favorite weapons. Worry, anxiety, fear… it can all overwhelm us like a thick shadow of darkness, controlling our every move and decision. Yet reality tells us that so much of what we spend our time worrying about never even happens. Living under the weight of the "what if's" is a hard place to dwell. God has words of life and of truth. In the middle of the storms of life it is easy to feel overwhelmed and be tempted to just stop trying. But storms don’t last forever. Jesus freed me enough to work on freeing myself. He promised He would help me, but He expected me to do the work. I have found that God has one primary lesson for His children to learn and that is unconditional trust in Him. He allows storms to rage all around us because He wants us to be unphased by troubled waters. He wants us to have so much faith in Him that we too learn to sleep through storms. Don’t be troubled ladies, our Father is leading us to still waters within our hearts. He is teaching us how to have peace no matter what life throws our way. When He decides He will not transform our situations, He is transforming our hearts and there is great purpose for those who submit to the process, lean into the pain, and conquer fear one step at a time. In the midst of the storms in life, we must remain hopeful for it is hope that gets us through any difficult situation and gives us the motivation to break free from the chains that hold us back from our destinies. Keep Calm and DIVA On!

Be an Inspiration

As women of God, we must believe what the word says about us and start enjoying our life by striving to not only be women of purpose and vision, but women that encourage and inspire other women as well. We are honoring God when we believe in His Word.  Let today be a new beginning to be the woman God intended you to be.  Look through the eyes of faith and choose to take some God inspired action now. Inspire someone today. Today will never come again. Be a blessing. Be a friend. Encourage someone. Take time to care. Let your words heal, and not wound. We women possess such incredible power–all in what we say. Proverbs 12:25 says, “An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.” Your good words and actions can gladden the hearts of the women you encounter on today. Your words and actions cannot only touch, but can actually change another’s heart. So whether it’s an email, in person, in a letter, over the phone, or in a note, remember that what you say and do today has the capacity to transform the countenance and the character of others. So encourage and inspire your sister in Christ today, the world already does a great job tearing us down.

Everything will work out

Have you ever found yourself in a situation that seems like you can't even comprehend how anything will turn out. You have trouble with seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And it seems like the odds are against you... Well it is in that moment that the Lord whispers and says "trust me daughter." If the Lord has been an ever present help throughout your life in good times as well as the bad. Through pain and struggles, in the midst of danger seen and unseen. Then why would He not be able to see you through this time. I have come against a rock and hard place this past month and honestly I could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. As a matter of fact if I can be transparent... I still don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. But as I reflected on the Lord this morning and His goodness and grace I realized that He loves me and He has been with me this whole time. Not to rebuke and criticize me as the world or people would but to comfort me and give me peace in the storm. Even if I do not see the light at the end of the tunnel, I know for sure who is leading the way. When life hits you from every side and becomes overwhelming, when people don't believe in you... You my dear, believe in YOURSELF and the amazing God you serve! Remember to "Be Firm! do not be moved! Always be outstanding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain." (1Corinthians 15:58) Keep Calm and DIVA On! #embraceyourdiva
