Testimonials
THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HATH MADE, I WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT!
This page is designed to highlight those testimonies God has given me and also to include those that others have shared with me. On occasion names will be changed or omitted to respect the privacy of the writer/sender. At other times the actual names will be used because I have permission to do so. It is never my intent to blow MYSELF UP or what others have said that compliments my Journey 2 Jesus. I learned over 20 years ago to stop trying to impress man, and strive ONLY to completely please GOD. The Journey has been lightened because of that revelation. Yes, I am keeping it real and I hope you do the same.
You know we often want to be apart of an organization, obtain a position title, hear accolades on how well we do what we do – well without the breath of Life none of us would be able to do anything. Luke 1:37 check it out
As Believers we feel that GOD is not working miracles, when in fact HE is working a miracle right now, this moment. However, since we don’t feed our spiritual being as much as we do our physical and emotional, we can’t hear GOD speaking to us. Are we too carnal minded? If we are and I was – I pray that these testimonies will hone in on your heart and begin to allow you to reflect on the miracles GOD has performed in your life that you may have totally ignored.
Because I care, I share...
Daria,
What can I say!! What can I say.... but that God is doing something real in these last days. You are blessed by God in your messages, and He has an audience set in place for these messages. Later down the road...possibly around the first of the year I can go into more detail ( as God permits). But! know this...there are a lot of hurting people especially women who live and operate out of
F.E.A.R ( false evidence appearing real ) a true plot from satan. Praise God for his timely message through his servant by the name of Daria Dillard Stone.
Be Blessed My Sister In Christ.

Daria,
This is my first time sharing on your website and I thought it was fitting to use this venue to share my thoughts about you to you. Just sitting here thinking about what to type brings tears to my eyes. I am truly blessed and honored to have come across your path at such a time as this. I can say that it is to my disadvantage that I have not yet used all of the tools that you have been planting within me over the course of our relationship. However, because of your encouraging words, my re-recognition of the power of the Holy Spirit within me, and my renewed desire to
persevere, along with several other factors, I am rising above the negative self talk and self hatred. I have realized that even worse than an abusive spouse is and abusive self and I have been beating and battering Letecia for too long. It is (was) affecting my ability to live and fulfill the purpose God has for me. I am soooo thankful that he does not see me the way I see myself.
Thank you for your life and transparency of it. You are who you are because of the experiences, mishaps, and triumphs of your past, present, and future.
Your ability to embrace who you are in spite of is inspiring to me and soooo many others. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for being obedient, humble, and determined to please God.
You truly have taught me things that I feel I missed out on throughout my life and you never once judged me for not knowing some of the things I "should" have known. I value your presence in my life and I'm grateful for the long lasting relationship that we have.
I love you dearly (to the best of my ability) and thank you again!!!
(especially for having my back on the job when I fell short)
May God continue to pour out blessings upon blessings that you won't have room for!!!

Daria,
What a blessing this is! I'm sorry to say that this is actually the first
time that I have really visited the entire site. Your ability to follow God's vision to become all that He has for you inspires me. You are truly special! The Lord is blessing you and me through you, right now!
Be blessed, and
Be in touch!

Daria,
I love what God is doing on your site. I especially agree with the fact that people won’t come to church, so we have to bring it to them. Daria, stay blessed and focused – you know the enemy doesn’t want this site to grow. Prepare your provisions for this journey!

My dear sweet E.W. 2007,
You will never know how “timely” this sweet cute email message was from you. YOU have Blessed me so much. I have been very sick and not checking my emails at home. I was in the hospital five days with my back and was using a walker when I got out. Well long story short, I just finished crying and praising GOD that my house
did not burn down because I left a paper plate on the stove and inadvertently was cooking on another eye, but left the room/kitchen. Apparently that fire got to the paper plate. My sweet husband who was right there in the kitchen rinsing dishes in the sink, had no clue behind him was a fire!!! Oh my God, I came out of my bedroom after my girlfriend called praying for me from out of town and when I got in the kitchen, I started praising GOD to help me put out the fire, but I realized too that my husband age 91, did not smell it or see it. That hurt me something awful at first. But I thought about how this day could have turned out; we both started crying – tears of joy and of reality or awareness we had not fully dealt with.
I then decided to come to my email and I find this communication as uneventful as it is, well it just lit me up inside. . Well baby, thank you so much for including me in your circle of DIVAS (Divine, Inspirational, Victorious, Anointed, Sisters) or your circle of friends. If you know anyone that would be blessed by this communication – share it – for that is exactly what I plan to do. You see I am not an under cover Saved Saint – I was (nor anyone)
NOT saved to sit! I try to keep it to myself, but GOD has been too good and this was a miracle. JESUS has done too much for me and my husband Todd and family for me not to express it whenever the opportunity allows. I want others to know his daily miracles and today he showed up and showed out. You see I was supposed to have a cane to walk and I was running around in that kitchen like a 10 year old – smiles. I know satan had another plan for my day, BUT GOD has all power and this incident was flipped for HIS GLORY – yep HE reversed the curse. My home was suppose to be burning down, but instead it is filling up with more love.
Thanks again...
and baby have a special Merry, Merry Christmas!!!

It is not often that one can actually see the seed or seeds that they may have planted during their lifetime (they look from heaven or the other place) – and not just the seed but a harvest. Well, the DUL has always planted seeds and believed in the impossible (relating to people or otherwise) – I was apart of that spirit or school of thought and yesterday a miracle happened.
First I thank GOD!!! But secondly I publicly AGAIN thank The Dayton Urban League and my mentor/boss/friend Willie Walker. No, I didn’t see it then and did not really like it when Willie put me over the GED program at DUL and assigned me to the Wesley Community Center. However, I love GOD and God’s people and I know I don’t have to like what life gives/shows me but I must accept it and DO MY BEST!!! Even if no one else does theirs. God had a plan all along J
Well, the long and short of it is that I met and fell in love with some of the most gifted and talented youth and older adults and yesterday one of them “literally almost ran into me on his bike” J
I was walking downtown on 8.10 as I do (but after 5 pm when I usually walk during lunch hr) and a young man said “excuse me ma'am I don’t want to run into you” and I said ok and looked at him and he at me and we almost fell over because we knew each other. It was at Wesley Center he said “that you helped me get my life together in the GED program Mrs. Stone and I have never forgot you but never thought I would see you. the DUL and Wesley center changed my outlook on life and
today I just picked up my grades from RETS and I made a 4.0.” (emphasis on TODAY…that’s GOD – go figure me running into him today and at the time I usually am never out walking)
We talked some more and I went back to my office and made a copy of his documentation, not for me, but for The Dayton Urban League!
You see I impress upon you guys to remember when you are telling your story to this community/world, when you are trying to raise money or awareness, that you need to call the roll (as we say in Sunday School) and ask some of the folks from however many years to come see you and share where there are today because of the DUL. It is not about me, GOD had me where he wanted me and HE used that GED program to “school me” as well. I am joyful beyond words. You should be too DUL
I love you and I thank you. Now put that in your pipe and smoke it. The DUL ROCKS!!!! Because it is built on the Solid ROCK…and you already know!!!
