Hi, I am Alexandra, mom of 2 incredible children and married to my best friend and partner in the faith.
For years, I tried to find happiness and a sense of purpose in all the wrong places.
I consumed endless self-help books, I would study more, analyze my past, find temporary relief in world distractions, try avoidance for temporary relief, attempt to change others in the hope of improving my relationships, only to find myself exhausted, living in my past, not enjoying the present and with no hope for a future. I had so many dreams but no direction to where my next step would be.
I finally realized that if I wanted to find lasting peace, I had to build my life on a solid unshakable foundation. I found Christ and the amazing peace that comes from being fully known and loved unconditionally.
With the help of mentors, I understood God’s will for my life and developed an unwavering relationship with Him. And I am thrilled to share it with you and give back as I was poured into.
Are you ready to finally find peace for your soul? Partner with the Everlasting God and discover your life's purpose, His amazing will for you, and how to walk in His steps. Experience fulfilling relationships and a sense of purpose that surpasses anything you can dream or imagine.
Open your Bible, put in those earbuds, and listen up! God is speaking to you. He is making everything new. Do you perceive it? Let's get started.

#33: 8 Lessons Learned when God feels distant and why you need a Community of Believers! (My Story of Faith, Summer Series - 5/8)
•
Alexandra Alvarez | Spiritual Coach
This episode explores the concept of a "desert phase" in life, a time of testing and challenges that can lead to deeper growth in our faith. I share my own experience living in Las Vegas during the first year of my marriage, a time I felt distant from God and struggled with feelings of doubt and insignificance.
Key Points:
- The desert in the Bible symbolizes a place of testing.
- Like the Israelites who wandered for 40 years, our own misunderstandings can prolong difficult times.
- Focusing on past hurts hinders our ability to move forward.
- Feeling distant from God can be a catalyst for growth, forcing us to rely on Him.
- Eight lessons learned during a "desert phase":
- Trust: Trusting God to provide for our needs.
- Faith: Remaining faithful during challenging times.
- Patience & Perseverance: These qualities are essential for navigating challenges.
- Humility: A time to be humbled and refined.
- Gratitude & Remembrance: Focusing on God's faithfulness in the past helps us appreciate the present.
- Consequences & Repentance: Taking responsibility for our choices and focusing on the present.
- Dependence on God: Daily trust in Him brings peace and security.
- Hope & Future Promise: Knowing we have a future helps sustain us.
- Even in difficult times, continuing spiritual practices like prayer, journaling, and attending church can foster a patient spirit, joyful heart, and focus on the good.
- We don't need to understand everything during challenging times.
- Limitations can be necessary for growth.
- We must walk through the desert to experience transformation.
