Amen...great word! Something I was talking to the Lord about yesterday, so this is on point!
Oh, and cream in hot tea is the ONLY way to drink it. Delicious!! The "tea and cream haters" are missing out!
Step Outside the Man Made Box
Every day I love to have a steaming cup of tea, sweetened with a bit of sugar and nondairy creamer. I’m actually sipping from a mugful now as I write this blog post. It’s my way to relax and enjoy its smooth rich flavor. Usually, when individuals who are unfamiliar with my drink of choice see m...
Amen, amen, amen!! Such a timely word for me.
Discipline is Critical!
I put the microwave on three minutes so I could heat the water in my teacup and enjoy my favorite warm beverage before heading out the door. As the minutes dwindled down to seconds, I peered through the transparent tinted window and noticed that the microwave was empty. That’s when my thirtee...
Praying.
Thoughtful Thursdays: 12/8
I was talking to someone recently about how God wants us to use our lives to be a blessing. And lately, the Lord has rekinedled a fire in my heart to be His arms, hands, and feet in the earth as a means of bringing help and healing to the broken. Through missions, evangelism, prayer, and consi...
Somebody hold my mule, please!!!
I'm Delivered
Yesterday, after morning worship my husband Kenya and I were talking to our pastor. He had preached a mighty word that left us all praising and rejoicing even after the benediction. Before concluding service, he asked us to hug someone and say only these two words: I'm delivered. I was try...
Praying for those listed here today. God is able.
Thoughtful Thursdays 10/20/11: Read & Pray
When I read the prayer requests that you, my wonderful readers, send in and feel the weight of all the burdens you carry, my heart cries out. As my prayer team and I go to God on your behalf, even though the issues seem overwhelming, I know He is able. Today, there are some heavy issues going ...
Amen!!!! Love this!
Are Your Connections Connected?
I had a wonderful Bible study last evening with my study and prayer partner. Although we live in two different states, we are truly connected in the spirit. It’s a wonderful thing to spend time communicating with someone who is as passionate about worship and the word of God as I am. There ha...
AMEN!!!
Hatred can be a Good Thing
I hate flies. With a passion. When I was around 14 years old, I was trying to kill one of the buzzing, unsanitary nuisances after it had landed on my window. Unfortunately, in my attempts to smash the insect with the curtain (Eeeew! Why would I do that anyway?), I used way too much force and...
I've been thanking God for this very reason today. He's SO amazing!
Thank God for Something Good
I went to the store to pick up a few items yesterday. After I walked out and headed toward my car, suddenly, pain shot through my left arm that nearly brought me to my knees. It felt as if someone had simultaneously lit my arm aflame and stuck it with a thousand needles. Though excruciating, t...
Don't leave me out of the spaghetti party! Now, I'm craving my favorite dish! I LOVE this post, and my heart smiled as I read it. So happy to read about the progress you're making with your wrist...being able to cook a meal is huge!
Wonderful message in this post, as always. Oh,and I'm really loving the new look of the blog!
It's Getting Better Every Day!
I was able to cook a meal yesterday for the first time in months and I'm so excited. Woo hoo! I made my favorite dish, spaghetti. I love it so much. My husband Kenya and the kids already know, I enjoy my pasta a little too much. You can read about my spaghetti addiction that I blogged about mo...
Amen, amen, amen!
Can't Do It (Part 2)
In order to fully appreciate the lesson in today's post, be sure to read yesterday's blog. It lays the foundation for what I'll be sharing here. Usually, I try to completely exhaust a particular subject all at once. But, today, I woke up with the same thing on my mind. Can't Do It. Part Two....
This is the sweetest, most soothing post. I love it!
He Will Remind You!
Raindrops gently tapped at my window this morning, as soft gray light pushed its way through the overcast sky. The dim glow sent lively shadows dancing across my walls. "Uh, mom," said a small, tender voice, disrupting the quiet stillness. It was my 12-year-old daughter, Kyla, stepping ginger...
Praise God for Charmaine giving her heart to Christ!!! The angels are rejoicing...and thank God for your ministry that inspired her to make the best decision she will ever make in her life.
I'm definitely praying for everyone listed here today. I can relate to two of them in particular, and if God delivered me, I know He will surely do it for them.
Thoughtful Thursdays: 8.26.10
A woman named Charmaine Daniels sent an email that moved me so deeply. I want you to read it before we begin praying for the women listed on today's Thoughtful Thursdays list. Charmaine wrote: Dianna, Thoughtful Thursdays has really changed my life. I learned about it because a family friend ...

OMGoodness!!! This is such confirmation for a situation I'm dealing with...WOW! This word just freed me...thank you God!
It's Not Your Job to Fix It
I got a phone call the other day from someone close to me. "Hey, what's up?" I answered in an upbeat tone. But the next words they uttered really put a damper on my day. "No way! You're kidding me!" I responded, genuinely shocked. Part of me wished they were kidding, but nope. It was real....
I sooooo love this post...I couldn't agree more!
The Everyday Stuff Matters
"Look Mommy!" my 6 year old son Kedar said with a great big proud grin. He had brought me his coloring page back that I printed out for him about a half hour earlier. Of course I fawned over his cute little picture of Lightening McQueen from the animated movie Cars that he had diligently...
You always seem to know what's going on in my head...wonderful post!
Write It Down
Lately I've been sharing some of the things that are going on in my life since introducing music into the picture. It's only been a week since the release of the first single, Do What He Said, and already, life has changed so much. There are more demands on my time and a greater quanti...
Amen!! I love this...beautifully written!
As Long as God Gives Me Strength
I stood in the mirror marveling over the long gray hair peeking out of the middle of my crown. "Honey look!" I summoned Kenya. "It's a gray hair." Unlike me, my husband Kenya's been going gray for a while. It runs in his family; before she passed away, my mother-in-law had the most beautif...
LeShea has my prayers! I'm standing in agreement for God's mercy and restoration in her life.
Thoughtful Thursdays: Week #50
Here on Thoughtful Thursdays, I typically list 5 different prayer requests and ask you to join your faith with mine for God to meet every need. But today, I feel led to go in a slightly different direction. I received an email from a young woman who made a poor choice and landed herself is some ...
Very timely and much needed word!
Let God Show You the Way
Yesterday I was reading over some old articles I had written several years back. Although my views and life philosophy are fundamentally the same even today, the manner in which I express my ideas nowadays, has greatly changed. Looking retrospectively, I see many things I wrote that could ...
Amen!! I love this...it's very befitting for something I've been thinking about. I just love it when God sends a word like this!
It Will Come Around Again
On Saturday, the kids came running upstairs. "Mommy! Mommy! Do you hear it?" I had no idea what they were talking about, because whatever they heard was imperceptible to my ears at the moment. "It's the ice cream truck!" they all shouted in unison with wide eyes. Suddenly, my ears perked ...
Dianna, can I get a mailing address so I can send in an offering, because you just PREACHED!!! My God!! So true, so true, so true!! I was sharing with a friend, about a week ago, about how so many people within the church who are supposed to be working for GOD'S glory, have become soooo concerned with obtaining titles and making a "name" for themselves. I said to her "just give me God's purpose for my life and I'm good...you can gave all that other stuff."
Praise God for this word!!
Your Purpose Matters Most
I read a Robert Byrne quote yesterday that really grabbed my attention. It said, "The purpose of life, is a life of purpose." Isn't it good to know that even in such a vast universe, God has a specific assignment for your life? I genuinely believe that your purpose matters most, but late...
Amen...I love this! Such a timely word.
Sweet and Sour
I opened the refrigerator yesterday and discovered that my husband had bought some red grapes during his quick grocery store run. I washed off one and sunk my teeth into it. "Mmmm," I said with my eyes closed. It was sweet like candy. So I ate another and another... until I'd had my fill. ...
I love Laquinte's weekly inspiration!! Her column is the first one I read in EEW on Mondays.
Guest Post: Laquinte Brinson
As you know, I always write the blog posts for The Daily Cup, but today, I want you to read the article that Laquinte Brinson wrote in her inspirational column for EEW Online Magazine. I believe it will be a blessing to you. Now, if you typically read the blog posts on your handheld like a Black...

Praying and standing in faith that God will look upon every anonymous, confidential request you have recieved and manifest His power according to His holy and perfect will. May each heart find comfort and peace as they cry out to God and wait for an answer. No matter the circumstance, God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can even ask or think...He's just that kinda God!
Thoughtful Thursdays: Week 45
For this week's Thoughtful Thursdays, I'm going to do something a bit unconventional. Each week, I receive a flood of prayer requests from those that don't wish to have their requests posted. Many of them are going through great distress and deeply personal struggles within themselves, their fam...
