One moment can change everything!

To the person reading this post, never lose hope in a better tomorrow. Your story is still ongoing.

One day, the dreams you once journaled and daydreamed about will become a reality.

One day, your reality will transform into a newfound truth.

One day, the prayers your ancestors, parents, and even you prayed will manifest in the earth.

One day, the tears you once cried will provide enough water to support the germination of the seeds you previously planted.

And one day, you’ll find yourself holding tightly to the hope that your tomorrow will be better than your today because, in an honest moment of reflection, you’ll realize that your today is much better than your many yesterdays.

Beloved, while you may spend time thinking about your possible moment, don’t neglect to reflect on the progress that you’ve made to get to this particular point in life.

The breath that moves through your lungs, the blood that pumps through your veins, the ability to think clearly, and the movement of any limb you have right now are just some of the many things worthy of your gratitude.

You are still here for a reason. Your story is still ongoing because you have more writing to do and life ahead.

Your being here means something…

The hope you have in moments of dreaming doesn’t have to be in fairytales. Know that your life and mere existence represent a miracle.

If you once danced with death, roamed the streets with darkness, walked with fools, or nearly lost yourself in your mess and somehow managed to fight past the odds to read this post, remember this, if you don’t remember anything else…You are a walking miracle.

Therefore, whenever you think something’s impossible, take a second to look at your reflection because the person staring back at you reminds you that all things are possible.

Your life is a gift, and the previous giants you slayed, mountains you overcame, and hurdles you ran over to get to this point are mere reminders of the sweat equity you’re investing in growing through your journey.

Don’t give up on yourself. Don’t get lost in dreams. Don’t think that your goals are impossible. And don’t lose faith in the truth that the original divine plans for your life were to prosper you, not harm you, to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).

You can be more than your circumstance (or you can fill in the gap with what you believe will happen in your next), and you can live!

Better days are ahead when you don’t give up on hope…stay in the race and fight until the end!

You got this, Champion. If you get tired along the journey, don’t quit; reach out for a lifeline, and don’t believe the lie that you are alone because you are not. Someone in this world is praying for you and loves you not for any ulterior motive but for the simple fact that you are a precious soul.

And to bring this to life, let me demonstrate by saying I love you. If you don’t hear this from anyone else, let these words sink in, and know that I’m praying for you.

I am honored to be a part of your journey and am ecstatic for you to experience the abundance of life that is before you.

With my warmest bests and hugs, your encourager,

Mahalia
