about the blog

My goal with this space is to remind women to consistently and intentionally point their hearts toward Jesus in the midst of the day-to-day of life and to help them regularly reset their perspective on Him.

Why is that so important?
Because I know what it’s like to wade through life just barely making it emotionally, just going through the motions.

I know what it’s like to look back at day stretching into day stretching in to week stretching into month and wonder, deep in my soul, what the point of it all really is.

I know what it’s like to be persistently bombarded with the lies of fear and worry and anxiety and stress till I am utterly broken.

And I’ve learned that we don’t have to live that way.

We have the truth of God’s Word and we have God’s Spirit alive in us to combat the stress, the apathy, the anxiety, and the overwhelm that so quickly steal our joy. I’ve been caught by my own emotions so often, that I’ve realized…I need to preach the truth of God’s word to my heart daily, hourly, and minute-by-minute.

This blog is not a commentary on my day-to-day life. I may not be struggling with the thing I am addressing the day I write about it. I may not be writing directly about any of my own personal struggles. But I have felt the weight of fear and anxiety and doubt and overwhelm crushing my soul enough to know what I, and maybe you too, need to hear.

The truths I’m speaking here I have preached to my own heart and I do continue to preach to myself daily.

I want to equip you to preach to your own heart as well.

I want to equip you to speak the truth of God’s Word into your own heart and life in order to keep you from living as a captive of your own mind and emotions.

Without constant redirection and constant refocusing, our minds will wander into places we never wanted them to go. Keeping our minds focused on Truth requires intention and repetition.

I hope that my blog is one piece of your battle, one place you can come to for reminders of truth that you can use to combat the lies and fears you encounter in your daily life.

I firmly believe that…

Your thoughts become beliefs.
Beliefs determine your choices.
Choices eventually create habits.
Habits form your character…
And character is who you are.

When you think something over and over, you begin to believe it. This blog is all about speaking the truth of God’s Word into our hearts and minds…over and over and over again, and then letting that truth transform who we are.

And that goal? It’s biblical.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
Romans 12:2

Will you join me in this pursuit of keeping my mind and subsequently my heart and life focused on and living from the Truth found in Jesus Christ? 

If you desire that for your life too, will you let me know? Send me an email and share your heart, your struggles and your prayers? And then click through the blog to read some of my struggles and the lessons God has taught me and the tools I’ve used to live fully and freely in the midst of life.

Be blessed,
Alesha
