  • This one was really hard to edit. I pride myself in being open and honest with you guys with what is going on in my life. I am extremely vulnerable in this video. My level of vulnerability is truly a gift from God. This season, I have done so many scary things, but this one, by far, was the scariest. I am extremely sad, but I am also excited to see who I become over the next 6 months solely focused on God and myself.

    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 💞🙏🏾

    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🩷🌷

    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.

  • @janna7756
    @janna7756 2 месяца назад +20

    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.

    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

  • @BrittanyW6
    @BrittanyW6 2 месяца назад +7

    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.

    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 💜💜💜

  • @deannaambrogio5592
    @deannaambrogio5592 2 месяца назад +5

    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.❤

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    You’re inspiring for sure!!!!! Just being your own lover and not accepting anything less than what you can give yourself and others. That’s strength and I admire thisssss and wish I could do thisss. It makes so much sense that it would taint your gift if you stayed because that’s such a beautiful blessing to have. And I have this but it’s tainted for sure. Because I took the route easiest and stayed. I pray for you because you are strong and I know you’ll get through this too.

  • @phresie

    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!!♥️♥️

But I just want you to know that your strength in God and your love for him is so inspiring. You are truly so strong and beautiful in every aspect, and your strength makes me want to grow closer to Jesus. Thank you for being vulnerable with us, I know that is such a hard thing to do. I love you so much, and I’ll continue to pray for you:) (also adding this in, the way God gave you a dream about your dad is so beautiful, like, I just love Jesus so much😭)

May you find comfort in the midst of pain and strength to navigate through this challenging period. Remember, healing takes time, so be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to feel whatever emotions arise.

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.

It made absolutely no sense to me why something so insignificant would break us apart after everything we had been through. I was a complete mess for about a month after. Crying every single time I stepped into my car, crying when I was alone, crying in public. My therapist kept telling me that it was going to be okay and I didn’t believe her at all. I’m going to give you the analogy that she gave to me. Grief is like a box with a BIGGGG ball on the inside. Every time that ball hits the sides of the box you’re going to feel this gut wrenching sadness. Over time the ball gets smaller and smaller and hits the sides less and the intensity of the emotions that come along with a breakup will get smaller as well. I’m still not over my break up but I have come to realize that things do truly happen for a reason and working on bettering myself has helped me deal with all the intense emotions that I was having. It’s okay to feel everything you’re feeling right now and it will get better.❤️

    Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’m so excited to see what God has in store for you. I reconnected to my faith in September and have also come to learn I need a God man. It can be hard to lean into what God calls us to do, and it often is heartbreaking. But I’m proud of you for listening to what God has led you into and I just pray for so many blessings and so much growth for you in this new season ❤️

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I am definitely praying for you. Have been. I know he has flooded you with his presence. He says he is close to the broken hearted and so I know he is near. 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!

    GIRL! The amount that I love that you are becoming the love of your life! I am on this journey of self love and navigating what that means to me, for me, with me….all the me’s! I completely understand how hard it is to let go when you can’t fully comprehend the decision. It sounds like you are on the right path to finding yourself, your purpose and all the love and light that comes with that! I love how strong you are, how brave you were to post this and I’m so proud of you (for what that’s worth coming from a stranger lol) for putting yourself first and seeking the love that you give and the love you deserve! You are incredible!❤

I can't wait to see how God uses this time of singleness for you! Praying you have the most fun you've ever had!
