Waking Up With Faith

When Life Leaves You With No Other Options: A Story of Hope The pressures of life can make it feel as though there are no options left. Sometimes, people become so desperate that they are willing to accept any offer because they have lost hope. But when the pressures of life keep knocking on your door, you have to believe that hope is still possible and that things can turn around. The movie The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is an inspiring story about a brave and intelligent yo

Hey, welcome back to Mahalia’s Inspirations. This morning, I just wanted to share an encouraging message on The God Who Cares. I think most people see God as all-powerful. They understand that He is all-knowing, and they understand that He is just. But I think oftentimes, people struggle with the idea that God cares for you. In fact, He cares so much that He was willing to send His Son to die for you, so you can have the option to accept Him or not. In 1 Peter 5:7, it states,

Hello, and welcome back to the Faith, Empower, and Overcome Blog! Today’s blog is about the Anchor that holds you. Your Anchor Have you ever been on a boat or a ship when the waves begin to rock it? It can be a scary experience. Life can be like the waves in the ocean. Circumstances and unexpected events can shake us to our core. They can cause us to worry, become fearful, and even make our faith feel unsteady. But an anchor keeps the boat steady. It keeps it from drifting aw

There's a story of a woman at the well, to her it was an ordinary day just collecting water. But then Jesus passed by and asked the women “Can you give me a drink of water”. This led to a conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman. Later in the conversation Jesus tells her “Bring me your husband” and the woman responds “I have no husband”. Jesus says, “You answered correctly you have had five husbands and the one you're with now is not yours.” This encounter caused t

Good morning, and welcome back to Mahalia’s Inspirations: Empower, Faith, and Overcome Blog. Today, it was on my heart to remind someone that you are exactly where you need to be, and you are exactly who God wants you to be. Today, I’m going to share a poem by a man named Russell. I believe it expresses the love of God and how He views you. As you read these words, really let them sink in and know that God cares, and He has a plan for you. All you have to do is open your hear

Love, faith, and penguins! Love and kindness are gifts from God that no hardship, age, or obstacle can diminish. Even in the coldest places on earth, His grace has a way of shining through unexpected acts of compassion. As we enter this beautiful Christmas season, I want to share a story that reminded me that with faith, perseverance, and the kindness of others, miracles—both big and small—still happen every day. I was watching a video on YouTube and the YouTuber was traveli

Strap your seatbelts in, because it's about to get real!!! For those who struggle with letting go of control, this is for you. Have you ever seen a big child still on a pacifier? “And you ask yourself why they are still on a pacifier they are way too big for it”? It’s time for the child to be weaned off of it, because they are no longer a baby or toddler but a big kid now and they have surpassed that stage of life. At first, it's hard for that child to let go of that paci
