Can i be honest with you?

The wrestle is real but it is not wasted...

Have you ever been amazed by the butterfly, Reader? When it struggles to push out of the chrysalis, it looks painful. But scientists tell us that wrestle is what forces blood into the wings so it can fly. If you cut the butterfly out early, it wouldn’t make it.
​

That’s how I’m making sense of my own life right now. And perhaps the same goes for you, Reader. I’ve been working and showing up, but I’m still seeing very little result. And to get a new outcome, I know a new version of me has to emerge. My thoughts can’t just keep repeating the old ones, because the old ones only create the same outcomes we’ve already seen. Can you relate?

​
​

If you’ve felt that too, I want to invite you to listen to my latest podcast episode:

​
​

​Trusting God When Nothing Is Working Out​

​
​

In it, I share more about how I’m walking through this season — the fear, the new territory, and the trust that God is with me in it all.

​
​

And this is true for you too, Reader: you don’t have to fear. God is not intimidated by your wrestle and all the thoughts and emotions that come with it. Give them to Him. He is strengthening you from the inside out so you can step into the new, do the new, and sustain it.

​
​

“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being.” — Ephesians 3:16

​
​

The wrestle is real, but it’s not wasted. God is building wings.

With love,

One Minute to Glory

Alexandra Alvarez

I am a strategic creative and I partner with passionate, driven and courageous humans who fear their dreams may be too big, but long to leave a great legacy. I help them connect with themselves, their creator and the endless possibilities that are available to them when they look for what ignites, research possibilities and take faithful decisive actions.

Finding Christ in the quiet, the waiting, and the becoming... Hi Reader, Today we celebrate the most unexpected and beautiful gift of all: Jesus — God with us. Christmas reminds us that God did not enter the world through power, speed, or certainty — but through waiting. Through silence. Through trust. Through a young woman who said yes before she could see the outcome. Jesus came quietly, in the middle of the darkest night.He grew slowly.And yet, He changed everything. This year, Reader, God...

How telling God’s story strengthens your own... A tiny baby in a humble manger… the greatest gift ever given. Lately, in the middle of all the work, appointments, and unexpected conversations that fill my days, I’ve become more aware of something deeper happening beneath the surface:God keeps placing me in divine appointments. Moments I didn’t plan. People I didn’t expect to meet. Situations that feel too perfectly aligned to be coincidence. And yet—even when I know God is opening a door, it...

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Morning Encouragement From My Heart to Yours... Good morning, Reader — and Happy Thanksgiving. Before the day begins, before the table fills and the house gets loud, I wanted to send you a little encouragement to carry with you into this holiday. Lately, God has been teaching me that thanksgiving doesn’t always grow in perfect seasons… it often grows in the ones that challenge us the most. Sometimes gratitude feels natural. Other times, it’s something we practice — something we...
