Glenda Inspires – Uplifting Words for a Purposeful Life

  You’re Not Alone in This When life gets heavy — and it does — we sometimes forget that we’re not meant to carry everything on our own. The weight of worry, uncertainty, or exhaustion may press down on your heart, but God is not asking you to be strong all by yourself. In fact, His strength shines brightest when we admit our weakness and lean into Him. Take a deep breath. Inhale peace, exhale fear. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.  - 1 Timothy 1:7. Each step you take, no matter how small, is a step of faith. And you are never taking that step alone. God walks beside you — whispering courage, wrapping you in grace, and holding your heart steady. So tonight, rest in that promise. Tomorrow, rise with new strength. You’re not forgotten. You’re not forsaken. You’re not alone. My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness — 2 Corinthians 12:9  Listen to the podcast episode: Life ...

  You Are Here on Assignment You don’t need everyone to believe in you — just God. And guess what? He already does. It’s easy to feel discouraged when others don’t support your dreams. Maybe they don’t see what you see. Maybe they question your timing, your direction, or even your calling. But the good news is: God doesn’t need a group vote to approve your assignment. If He called you, that’s all the confirmation you need. In Galatians 1:10 , the Apostle Paul writes: “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? … If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Paul knew that purpose often puts you at odds with public opinion — and that’s okay. Obedience to God will sometimes look like disobedience to the crowd. You’re not here by accident. That thing you made it through — the pain, the delay, the heartbreak — it didn’t break you because it wasn’t meant to. It shaped you. It taught you. It formed you. It prepared you for...

  ✨ What Waiting Has Taught Me  Have you ever felt stuck in a season where nothing seemed to be moving? Where you were praying, hoping, waiting — and still… nothing? I have been there too. And what I’ve come to learn is this:  💛 Sometimes, God hides the blessing in the waiting. It doesn’t always feel like a gift. Sometimes the waiting feels like punishment. But in truth, it’s preparation. It’s not wasted. It’s not pointless. And you, my friend, are not forgotten. 💛 The Hidden Work of God During one of the hardest seasons of my life, I cried out to God daily. I couldn’t understand why doors weren’t opening. But slowly, I began to see something deeper: God wasn’t withholding joy from me — He was forming something within me.  Patience. Strength. Trust. A deeper knowing of who I am in Him.  You’re not forgotten. You’re being formed. Those words became an anchor for me. And over time, I started to believe that joy wasn’t just something waiting at the end of m...

  For a long time, I thought joy would come after the waiting season — after all the promises and new relationships. But life has a way of teaching us lessons in unexpected places. Singleness, for me, became one of those places. In this blog, I want to share a few things that singleness taught me — not about loneliness or waiting, but about joy. Deep joy. God-given, soul-stabilizing joy.   🕊️ 1. Joy Isn’t About Your Status — It’s About Your Source The world often equates happiness with having someone by your side. But, joy doesn’t come from being coupled up. It comes from being centered . In this season of singleness, I’ve found joy by drawing close to God and letting Him fill the spaces I once thought I needed to be filled by someone else. Joy shows up when you stop chasing validation and start embracing your divine identity . 💛 2. Singleness Gave Me a Space to Discover Myself I didn’t realize how much of myself I hadn’t fully met. Singleness gave me space to breathe,...
