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.

70. Feeling Anxious at the Start of a New Year? Recognize Your Triggers and Overcome Them with God's Peace
The start of a new year often brings excitement, but it can also spark uncertainty and anxiety. In this episode of Curious for Christ, I dive into the root causes of anxiety and share how you can recognize your triggers and overcome them through God’s peace. Using practical steps and biblical insights, you’ll learn to surrender your worries and rely on God for strength and calm.
What You’ll Learn:
1. What is Anxiety?
• Anxiety is a response to stress but often stems from trying to control the uncontrollable.
• Common triggers include overwhelming responsibilities, people-pleasing, fear of failure, loneliness, and overthinking.
Key Verse: 1 Peter 5:7 – “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
2. Recognizing Your Anxiety Triggers:
• Reflect through journaling, asking yourself key questions like:
• Am I avoiding deeper issues?
• Am I overly consumed by others’ opinions or problems?
• Pay attention to recurring stress patterns.
Key Verse: Matthew 6:33 – “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
3. 5 Steps to Overcome Anxiety:
• Step 1: Shift Your Focus to God
Start your day with prayer or scripture.
Isaiah 26:3 – “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.”
• Step 2: Surrender Control
Pray, “Lord, I release this situation into Your hands.”
Philippians 4:6-7 – “Do not be anxious about anything…but present your requests to God. And the peace of God…will guard your hearts and minds.”
• Step 3: Take Captive Every Thought
Replace anxious thoughts with God’s truth.
Joshua 1:9 – “Be strong and courageous…for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
• Step 4: Be Present in the Moment
Trust God with tomorrow’s worries.
Matthew 6:34 – “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.”
• Step 5: Build Healthy Habits
Create a routine that includes time with God and set boundaries to reduce overwhelm.
4. God’s Promise of Peace:
God’s peace doesn’t remove problems but gives strength to endure them.
