"Tina Turner" Another Original D.I.V.A.

D.I.V.A. Quote "Physical Strength in a woman~That's what I am..." Tina Turner

A strong woman works out everyday to keep her body in shape…
But a woman of strength builds relationships to keep her soul in shape.

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything…
But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of fear.
A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her…
But a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone.
A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
A woman of strength realises life's mistakes can also be unexpected blessings, and capitalises on them.

A strong woman wears a look of confidence on her face…
But a woman of strength wears grace.A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey…
But a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong...

Diva's here we have it the difference between a strong woman and a women of strength, weather from rags to riches, plain to beautiful, weak to strong, we all have the strength within us to be whatever it is we are destined to be, so be... Strength of a woman~"A D.I.V.A." ~that's we!!!

When you know better you don't always do what you know...

There are no mistakes, only lessons

There is Strength in pain that is gained through our mistakes... we must use the pain of our sins and the results of our mistakes as the foundation upon which we can build new life and learn from the experience...

Everyone is striving for perfection, yet there is no such thing...

Mistakes and problems are character builders and develop patience in us.... we must

Recognize: Yes I made a mistake, I am not perfect...

Reconcile: I accept the mistake and I ask for forgiveness

Restore: I've learned my lesson and I move on

Diva's don't hold your head down when you make a mistake instead take a closer look at the mistake and see the God given purpose of the riches stored in secret places...and remember that all things are working together for your good!!!!

The ???'s that go unanswered...

Q: Ever wonder why people go above and beyond measure to try and bring you down

Don't give yourself a headache trying to figure this one out...

If  we  could read  the  secret  history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility. William Wadsworth Longfellow

 

How great are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts! The senseless man does not know, fools do not understand, (psalms:92-5,6)

D.I.V.A.'s  freedom from this bondage is to forgive... It's not always easy but Forgiveness is the key act to FREEDOM!!!  " forgive all that have intentionally, or unintentionally tried to bring you down & use  this act of forgiveness to release yourselves  to Freedom"

A Father is...

A male parent of any offspring

 "Father" is not defined by a man having a biological child.... you can produce a child and not be a father.

 It is...

Wise that a "FATHER" knows his CHILDREN, He is a major influence in their lives, He cares for their emotional as well as physical needs, His role is to be the loving head of his home, wife, and CHILDREN, He provides for them not by investing in toys, video games, cell phones, and material things he becomes the investment by giving the most precious thing a father can give... His Time=Himself!!!

To all the "FATHERS" that step up and step out....

Have A Happy Happy Happy



From the D.I.V.A.s!!!

Where to Find Happiness

???

All humanity is on a pursuit to happiness, yet in spite of many heartbreaks, disappointments, and years of suffering only few manage to discover it... 
 "If I had... or When I get..." fill in the blank with whatever the desire is... and  we search endlessly for it in people, places, and things on the outside... when happiness has been and always will be within yourself...

Diva's beyond all sorrow, pain, and suffering... is a GREAT discovery; an inexpressible joy it's called HAPPINESS!!!

Until Next Time...

3 relationship need to knows...

A Reason, A Season, A Lifetime...

People come into your life for A REASON, A SEASON, or a LIFETIME, When u figure out which one it is, u will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON..It is usually to meet a need you have expressed, they have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually, They may seem like a godsend, and they are.

They are there for the REASON you need them to be, Then without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die, sometimes they walk away, sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.

When people comes into your life for a SEASON... It is because your turn has come to share, grow,or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy, Believe it! It is real! But, only for a SEASON..

LIFETIME relationship teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation..Your job is to accept the lessons, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. (unknown)

95% of the people you meet throughout life are not meant to be in your life for a long period of time, either as a friend or a romantic interest... The 5% that are... Recognize who they are respect, and appreciate them....

 "It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, and an entire lifetime to forget them"...

Diva's Have no expectations for friendships/relationships....Know that each one is for A REASON, A SEASON, or A LIFETIME...
Until Next Time... Love, Laugh, Live!!!
