Are you going in circles aimlessly?

When it feels like you're going in circles...

A spiral staircase viewed from below. — Every step looks familiar...but you've changed. God is growing you in the spiral.

Hi Reader,

Lately, I’ve been noticing something strange at work. I recently started a new role on a new team, and yet… some of the work felt oddly familiar. Almost like I’d been here before.

At first, it unsettled me, Reader.

Was I stuck?

Was I just repeating the same cycle again?

But as I leaned in with God, I saw something deeper.

I wasn’t repeating — I was being tested... and refined.

This time, Reader, I wasn’t holding back my heart like I used to.

This time, I could obey more fully.

I could trust God more than I have before.

And I could see Him more clearly in the small, quiet places.

It reminded me: just because the circumstances feel the same doesn’t mean I’m the same.

And neither are you, Reader.

God often leads us through spirals — not circles.

We return to familiar places, but we’re deeper. Stronger. More surrendered.

That’s how He forms us.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, like you’re working hard but seeing no forward motion — I recorded a new episode just for you, Reader.

Listen here → The Long Way Is Still God Way. How God uses Detours and Circles to Grow your Faith

Inside, I walk through:

The Israelites’ 40-year wilderness journey
How God uses detours to prepare and protect us
What it means to trust even when you don’t feel like you’re moving forward
And why you’re not behind — you’re being formed

One verse that anchored me this week is Habakkuk 3:17–18:

“Though the fig tree does not bud… yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.”

That kind of joy — the kind not based on circumstances — is what God is growing in us.

And sometimes, we need Him to help us remember how to rejoice.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to invite you to download a free one-page devotional I created:

[The Spiral of Trust: Learning from the Wilderness]

Inside, you’ll find space to reflect, journal, and draw near to God in the waiting.

And if you’re not already part of it, I’d love to invite you into our Curious for Christ Facebook community — where we ask honest questions, reflect together, and keep going back to His Word.

Reflection for you today:

Where in your life does it feel like you’re going in circles — but you’re actually growing deeper?

Where can you see God working, even if the path feels slow?

Hit reply and let me know — I always love hearing from you.

With you in the spiral,

A quiet heart in a noisy world - Weekly Newsletter from Alexandra

God is near—even when He feels silent. Hey Reader, Have you ever been in a season where God just feels… absent? I’m in a time like that right now. Life’s been full of risks, transitions, and new places I didn’t plan for. And while I’ve followed God for years, even now—He doesn’t always feel close. Growing up, I didn’t know God. And even now as a believer, it’s not always easy to stay grounded. I find myself crying out: “God, where are You?”“What’s the plan?” Sometimes I’m afraid I’ll bring...

God can work with your faith - Weekly Newsletter from Alexandra

Even in my fear and questions, God is teaching me that faith doesn't have to be flawless-it just have to be real... Not every prayer has an answer yet, but I'm still writing them down. This week’s podcast was all about walking by faith—not sight—especially when anxiety takes over. But here’s the truth behind the mic, : I didn’t record it from a mountaintop of clarity. I wrote it while staring at a whole lot of unknowns. In my heart. In my marriage. In conversations that are tender and honest...

When You Feel Distant from God, Do This First...

The Bible Isn’t Just a Book. It’s Where God Meets You. When I feel lonely—disconnected, unsure, or like I’m walking through something no one else fully understands—I go to the Bible, Reader. It’s become an anchor for my soul. In those quiet, aching moments, I ask: “Who in Scripture went through something like this?” “Did they cry out to God like I am now?” “Did He hear them… help them… meet them?” And every time, Reader—I find someone. Elijah under the broom tree. David hiding in a cave....
