    I'm a 47 year old Christian woman and you are a role model for me. What you are doing is walking bold and courageous in the Lord. Walking in faith is not easy to do and your obedience will be rewarded.
    When you said God told to do it even though it caused you pain, it reminded me of when God told Abraham he must sacrifice his son Issac. That was so painful for Abraham the son he did not think he would have, born to him and his wife at an old age. But it was a test that God had for him to see if he could trust him. And yes, God did stop him. But God asked you to do this for a reason. The reason will be revealed.
    I am so proud of you and you have encouraged me. I will pray that your pain will ease away and that you keep on your path with God, being a light for us all.
    I woke up this morning from a dream I had of my mother who also passed away. I felt so good that I was able to see her. I walked right next to her, held her hand and sat next to her. I was truly happy to be near her. So I completely understand how you felt to see and speak to your dad.
    #blessings Alexis you are loved 💞🙏🏾

    Many people don’t see this side of Christianity. “The sacrifices” it’s hard but the rewards we receive are so much greater than we can even imagine. This was a beautiful video and I’ll be keeping you in my prayers. Love you ♥️ His love sufficient and His power is made perfect in our weakness.

  • @DanielleD_

    Alex, your pain has purpose. God LITERALLY used you to confirm a message I received from him JUST THIS MORNING. Just this morning I watched a video of Viola Davis talking about how she tells her daughter “you are the greatest love of your life”. She then went on to explain that that basically entails, sticking to your morals and not wavering in the boundaries you set and just having self respect. And you just said the EXACT same thing. Because of your obedience, God is going to bless you 10 fold! It’s not easy but God is going to do it. And finally loving you is just the beginning!! I thank God for using you as a vessel. And thank you Alex for being obedient so that I can be blessed. You left the comfortable to leap into the unknown so that I could be blessed! Like Abraham in Genesis 12🩷🌷

  • @janna7756

    I am not a Christian and you are right, I don’t need to understand to find purpose in your pain. I adore you and wish you well on your journey. I’ve never felt so quickly attached to a creator on RUclips but I think it speaks to your soul and genuine nature. I hope you find the purpose in your pain. Giving you a virtual hug from NJ.

    As much as I love seeing you happy and unhinged, I also love seeing you’re raw authentic self even if that is when you’re sad, upset, or going through something, because we connect with you more. I also feel like you knew this was coming and you weren’t ready to let go until now. We saw you starting this as a caterpillar finally feeling a place of belonging, but now it’s time for you to come out of that cocoon and be that beautiful butterfly that you are who knows her self worth and knows what she can bring into this life and knows her potential. It’s time to fly Alex, and show the world who you are. Things will get better and if it’s meant to be, it will be. Trusting God and not knowing the future is the scariest thing any human can do. You are brave and you are strong. And just like myself and other people who watch you are here to support you and love you just the way you are. These changes are for the better. I see it. Things are falling into place in Gods timing. You just inspired me to become the person I want to love.
    Love you girl❤🦋

    Dont know if this saying will bring you much comfort but it was a quote my grandad told me during my darkest days .. "When you find yourself in hell dont stop to look around keep moving forward" it was something i repeat in my head on those hard days and it gives me that boost. Im so sorry to see you in pain your such a positive and hardworking woman who has inspired me to also go out of my comfort zone and take chances. Hope this is ok but il light a candle for you later and say a little prayer for you. Much love from England .. never lose that smile or spirit .. you have created an amazing channel and your going to create many more amazing videos and memories in the future. For now little steps and deep breaths i promise you have got this.

    I have been following your journey since seeing you on Shawnaci's channel. While I am not religious by any means I do believe that you found books and this love for yourself right when you needed to. The one thing that people don't talk about when they discuss growth and protecting their peace is how hard and emotional that can be. You find out who does and does not need access to you, but you also find out showing up for yourself looks like. I am very proud of the growth I've been able to witness from you and I know you'll only keep growing from here.

    Some things just don’t work out. And that’s okay. I went through a nasty break up with a toxic man and I hated the world for it, but honestly the world has blessed me. I found a new job, I got myself a library card and my mom will keep up with my book addiction as well. I buy myself books too, but the world gave me the choice of saving money. And I never have to worry about buying a book and not liking it

    Alex it’s going to be okay!! While I’m not 32 the last 4 years I have been in two relationships and never really got to be single! I was hurting too, God was telling me to not only let go of my relationship but my friendships too. I was so angry because I didn’t understand it but God blessed us with a season of singleness!! You get to find so much joy in His creation and fall in love with yourself more😊. God always has a reasoning for our pain!! He will bless us WHEN it is His timing. One thing I learned is God cannot put you in the future place He has for you because you are not ready yet!!! God sees and hears things that we cannot!

    I wish that I could just hug you…I could share my story, let you know that you’re not alone, but I think it’s more of a comfort to have people just LISTEN. When my husband left, after 24 years & 3 kids, I was DEVASTATED. I had lives on my IG, broke down repeatedly…but in the end, it was God, & my therapist that really got me through! Gods got you baby girl! Love on yourself, give yourself GRACE! Mama Shay loves you babygirl 💜💜💜

    @Pursuit_Of_A_Homestead 3 месяца назад

    You HAVE to listen to that sense of urgency or that deep, spiritual feeling of something not being right. I know it can be so hard and painful but I promise you, what God has planned is far better than what we try to plan. I had to learn that the hard way…numerous times unfortunately lol and I’m still learning to check myself sometimes but it is an indescribable feeling when you stick with it and you start to see God work 🙌🏽
    I’m praying for you girl…had me bawling lol but you’ve encouraged me to remember obedience and faith and will strengthen and encourage so many others in difficult times. God bless you, sis. You got this ❤️

    Alex, you are so brave for making this decision. You are such a great role model for so many people. I have been going through some changes as well, and your videos never fail to put a smile on my face. I’m glad you feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable with us, because honestly that’s what we need sometimes. People aren’t always real, but you are 100%. And, I think it is so great that you have friends who are supportive like Kristie. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through, but things will get better, and thank you for being your truest self. You are such a light in this world!!

    Oh my love I am so sorry for your pain. I'm not a woman of faith but your faith feels so so strong so you've got to hold onto that and stay strong in your convictions.
    This period of your life will feel hard (been there, done that - 4.5 years down the drain for someone who wasn't a bad man at all, just not the right one) but I promise you that it will get easier. Surround yourself with people who love you and day by day, the ache will lessen and the hole in your heart will fill. Some days you will be fine and other days you won't, but what is most important is that you wake up the next day and try again.
    If I was a praying woman I'd pray for you but I don't so I all I can do is send you my most absolute love and well wishes - you will get through this, we've got you ❤

    Not going to lie I wish my heart was protected like that. I got screwed over so many times you wouldn't believe it. I've done nothing but forgave and forgave and forgave and loved and loved and Loved someone. there was a lot I tried to do but one way or another people kept on screwing me over, even the love of my life screwed me over! Now I'm at a point where I just really hate myself, but I do try to love myself, and I am trying to protect my own heart, at least what's left of it.. 😮‍💨
    Not going to lie, you inspired me! You are just a beautiful, kind soul. I do sense a change and I do sense growth coming from you than when you first started your channel. Keep your head up high, guard your heart, never let anyone hurt you or break you down or anything. Just keep going, let the word of God guide you.

I am encouraged by your courage and obedience. I’m on a journey of my own that is totally different but one thing that remains the same: obedience and faith ain’t easy BUT when you know with clarity what you need to do and do it, your diligence will be rewarded Alex. I am so proud of you and I’m committed to praying for you girl. Hugs!

    What a testimony. Thank you so much for sharing and being transparent. EVERY WORD resonates with me…continue to let your soul cry out to the Lord. The hardest part was to act on what God said. Everything moving further will be a display of God showing you that since you chose to follow Him, He will increase EVERY area in your life. Be encouraged and continue to surround yourselves with like-minded people that can keep you and hold you to His word. This is very admirable and once again Thank You for standing strong on thus says the Lord.

    I had to pause and write you this message. I went through something similar a few years ago. I felt the same pain you are feeling and I just want to let you know that doing what feels right for you is the best thing you could ever do. I did a lot of work on myself and am so much better for it. We never fell out of love and are back together! God will lead you in the direction you are meant to go, with him or with someone else but in the end it will work out for the best. I’m praying you get through this! I KNOW you will!!♥️♥️

I am the opposite of you, I'm 35 years old and have never been in a relationship. Never! I've always been ashamed of that. But your transparency and faith in God gives me hope. It also helps me to focus on how can my journey and pain be a blessing to someone else. You did not look a mess in this video as you cried, you looked free. God is releasing something in you! I pray God gives you peace that surpasses all understanding and rest as you tackle this season. Go in faith and nothing can stop you!❤❤❤❤

    Alex, your openness and vulnerability will bless you so abundantly! It takes so much courage to share your lows as well as your highs with so many people. It is very easy to let the world influence your judgment; the power that you speak with from God is going to be your saving grace continuously. God is so proud of you for speaking life into his word even when you feel defeated and challenged by his decisions. With the faith that you have you are moving mountains and creating opportunities you are yet aware of. Your journey is powerful and so are you. I’m so proud of you for embarking on a new understanding of self. You will see the benefits, some of which you already show. Your self awareness makes your light that much more powerful. I can assure you regardless of wether or not someone is going through a similar situation to you or not, I believe every eye and every ear that you touch will be affected to some degree. I’m sending you virtual hugs and ask that God provides you with the strength to continue and the courage to push through this lesson and grow you for the next. You are a beautiful soul, I am 100% team Alex from the day you introduced yourself to us. I’m rooting for you and I love who you are and who you are becoming.🫶🏽💕🫶🏽 keep going, you’ve got this.

    When I tell you you are a Whole confirmation!!!!!! You are Not alone, God does Nothing haphazardly nor does He waist ANYTHING! I am 41 and have been single since my daughter was 3 (she turned 20 this year) and I did that to build a relationship with God and myself, I needed to learned to love myself and how to properly follow God. We all have different roads but they all lead to Christ, strongly praying for you ❤❤❤

    Hi Alex, I’m so sorry for your break up. That’s an awful pain. Maybe this break up has a specific purpose - to grow him in his faith so that he can be the man for you one day. Choosing yourself is a courageous act that is rooted in self love. Cry all you need to and journal it out. Don’t think of it as an ending think of this as a beginning. 🙏🏽❤️ Thanks for sharing Pastor Jerry Flowers sermon. He’s one of my favorites to listen to.

    Hey Alex, I’m so inspired and encouraged in my walk with God with your testimony of obedience. I went through the same thing years ago, at first it didn’t make sense to me, but I obeyed anyway. It felt absurd to me that God will ask me to leave a relationship while the other person did nothing wrong. Now after 3 three years I’m finding my answer through your video. I’m praying for you and I strongly believe your pain has a purpose and will birth purpose in other people’s lives. Thank you so much for sharing, sending you so much love and prayer.

    Alex, I am so proud of you for sharing and being so vulnerable. What you are walking through is hard. Like real talk it is so freaking hard. However, you're on a journey with the Lord and it sounds like you're listening to Him and walking where He is calling you too. Loving your self is the first step towards what the Lord is calling you to. Please continue to be unashamedly you because the Lord has only made one you and we're so lucky you're sharing with us. ❤❤❤❤ Sending you lots of Love and walking with you from Texas.

    The title- things that scare us- I think the tears come from fear of the future, so it’s not the current decision, it’s not being sure yet of what will come, so faith will alleviate that fear. Easier said than done, but God will help you feel more sure as time goes on. Also, you don’t look a mess, you look beautiful, because real is beautiful.❤

    I’m usually a silent watcher but this hit me. I can relate to your pain so much, I was in this exact place a year ago. we all love you so much, and although it may not feel like it right now this is just the beginning of a beautiful journey for yourself. I can’t wait to watch you grow from this ❤️ we’re all here to watch you bloom!

    Wow watching your faithfulness has encouraged and spurred me. I was reading Hebrews 11 this morning and it reminded me of what you're talking about. It gives example after example of His people who did hard things to remain faithful to what He called them to do. In verse 6 it says "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
    Your faithfulness pleases God and your reward is coming, sister♥️

    Your vulnerability was so touching. What you shared reminded me of a similar journey I had to take when I was around your age. I called it my season of walking in the woods alone. It's hard, you cry, you get back up, you back slide, then get back up again but let me tell you the inner peace you have on the the other side of it all is so incredibly beautiful. I look forward to cheering you on as you take your walk and I hope you will always be reminded of the beauty that comes on other side when it gets tough. It's so worth it. Look at you becoming!

    Hey girl 👋🏾 I know I'm late watching this and I thought I commented on one of your videos already but probably didn't lol so I'm sorry about that. I just found your channel from Shawnaci Schroeder when you guys first started getting into reading books together and I’m just getting back into my Black girl reading era myself 📚🫶🏾💕 and I love these kinds of videos, especially sharing other RUclipsrs that are also Black Booktubers/ Booktokers! Thank you girl 💕 and I'm so sorry about the breakup remember this too shall pass. Just continue to do things that make you happy, and don't self-isolate yourself too much get together with healthy friends and family. You got this and God's got you! Other than that, Let the reading era begin! New subbie 😘❤💕🫶🏾📚

    You're going to absolutely love all of the Kim Cash Tate series. It is going to speak/minister to your past, current, and future seasons, and consistently push you back to Jesus. It's the best Christian fiction/romance I've read. Patiently waiting for her to drop more books. Praying for your heart and peace as you navigate loss while God prepares you for your best.

    Sending you all the love, positive vibes and virtual hugs. You’re so brave Alex, not only for sharing your story and pain with us; but for recognizing that that relationship was not serving you the way it should, and walking away. So many ppl are scared to walk away from relationships that no longer serve them due to fear and complacency. Your journey will definitely inspire others. Yes honey, love yourself! Set and honor those boundaries! 🫶🏾

    I love you Alex! You have such a beautiful spirit. I pray the Lord heals you everywhere you hurt. There is great reward waiting for you walking in obedience even though in the natural the breakup didn’t feel good or make sense. You’re proving to God that he can trust you and you’re not willing to let anyone or anything separate you from your walk with Him. Keep your head up, and I’m keeping you lifted in prayer Sis. I’m 46 and still waiting for Mr. Right. My father passed when I was 18 years old and he set the standard for what I’m looking for in a husband pretty high. God blessed me with a great Daddy. I miss him dearly everyday. I know my worth and I’m sit settling for less than God’s best for me. Your best is yet to come, and your latter will be greater than your past. 🙌🏾🥰
