What does it mean to truly flourish in faith? In this first post, I share the heart behind Flourishing Faithfully – how it began, why it matters, and how the journey of healing, obedience, and spiritual alignment continues to unfold. Whether you’re just starting out or finding your way back, you’re welcome here.
Welcome to Flourishing Faithfully. I’m grateful you’re here.
For a long time, I carried a quiet nudge in my spirit to create a space where faith, growth, and authenticity could meet. A space where I could speak honestly about the journey of becoming – becoming whole, becoming aligned, becoming me. That nudge eventually became Flourishing Faithfully LLC, and now, this blog.
This blog is where I open the pages of my story – not because I have it all figured out, but because I believe in the sacred beauty of growing out loud. I believe that faith isn’t just a belief system; it’s a living, breathing way of walking through life. It’s how we confront fear, how we heal, how we move through uncertainty, and how we rise – again and again.
Why “Flourishing Faithfully”?
The name came from a place deep within me – a desire not just to survive this life, but to flourish in it. And not by the world’s standards of success, but by growing roots in God’s presence and becoming who I was created to be. Flourishing, to me, is living with intention, aligning with purpose, and nurturing a life that bears fruit in every season – even the hard ones.
My Journey So Far
My path has included mountain peaks and valleys – both literal and spiritual. I’ve trekked trails across the globe, pushed my physical limits, and discovered parts of myself I never knew existed. But some of the steepest climbs haven’t been on trails – they’ve been internal. Wrestling with doubt, navigating solitude, healing old wounds, and learning how to truly surrender.
Through it all, I’ve found God in the stillness and in the storms. In mountaintop sunrises and in the quiet ache of unanswered prayers. Faith has never been a straight line for me – it’s been a winding road of obedience, questions, restoration, and grace.
What You Can Expect Here
This blog is where faith meets real life. I’ll share stories from the trail and reflections from the heart. You’ll find entries about:
- Faith + Reflection – meditations, prayers, and sacred questions
- Personal Growth – healing, boundaries, becoming, and transformation
- Travel + Treks – solo journeys, lessons from nature, and spiritual metaphors from the mountains
Whether you’re in a season of stillness or movement, struggle or strength – I hope something here speaks to your soul. You’re not alone. We’re journeying together.
So welcome, friend. Here’s to growing, healing, and flourishing faithfully – one step at a time.
With grace,
Malkah
This beginning is just the surface of the journey I explore in Alignment with God: Finding Purpose in Matching God’s Will. If you’ve ever wrestled with obedience, identity, or finding your footing in faith, this book – and its companion workbook – were written for you.
