It Had to Happen – Day 8 of December

Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet, and lovely people! I hope you’re having an amazing day and not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome back to Maryam’s Joyful Life.

Today is December 8th, and I want to share an incredible insight I received yesterday from my amazing pastor and mentor, Real Talk Kim. These are things I’ve been reflecting on and believe will be inspiring for you too.

At church, Pastor Kim was teaching from our current series, Messy Miracles. During the sermon, she said four simple words that really resonated with me: “It had to happen.”

Think about that for a moment. Every struggle, setback, and unexpected moment in your life—no matter how difficult—happened for a reason. Even the things that seem messy, confusing, or painful are part of a bigger plan that is shaping your growth, your healing, and your future blessings.

Sometimes we get frustrated when things don’t go the way we want. We may wish for instant answers, perfect timing, or smooth roads. But the truth is, life’s detours and challenges are often exactly what we need to become stronger, wiser, and more prepared for the blessings waiting for us.

So today, I encourage you to take a deep breath and embrace your journey—messy as it may seem. Trust that even when things feel overwhelming or uncertain, it had to happen. Your past, your struggles, and even your mistakes are creating the path to your miracles.

Stay joyful, stay hopeful, and remember—you are exactly where you need to be.

What if Today is That Day

 Hello, My Friends – Welcome to December 4th!

Hello, my friends! Welcome to another amazing day, December 4th, and I’m so grateful to be here to share my thoughts and encouragement with you.

I want to remind you today that anything is possible with God. Even the most outrageous blessings, healing, and provisions—those things that would truly make your life better—are not out of reach. They are not too big for God. He is greater, bigger, and more loving than we can imagine, always willing and ready to turn your life into the masterpiece you were born to live.

Just because it seems like things are taking time doesn’t mean they’ll never happen. Today could be the moment that everything changes for you. Open yourself up to the possibilities. You deserve big things—things that enhance your life mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and financially.

Be open to the idea of being blessed. Be open to being the one who shifts everything for your kids, your family, and your generation. God has greatness in store for you, and your season of breakthrough is here.

I leave you with this beautiful verse from Isaiah 60:1:

“Arise and shine, my friend, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen over you!”

This is your season. My prayer for you today is that your answers and breakthrough show up in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
