One Minute to Glory

The hidden reason your soul is still weary - A Weekly Note from Alexandra

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

You don't need to do more.

You need to repent from quiet rebellion.

Hi Reader,

​

There’s a quiet kind of pain that lives under the surface when you grow up in chaos.

​

For me, it looked like early losses, constant moving, and more questions than answers. I come from a family with a lot going on—mental health struggles, grief, instability. And for years, I carried the ache without a name for it.

​

I didn’t know I was lost.

​
Not in the dramatic, prodigal-son kind of way. But in the quiet, disconnected way… where you’re doing your best to survive, but still feel so far from peace. So far from God.

​

Then, over 20 years ago, I began studying the Bible with a group of women. And one Scripture changed everything:

​
​

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?”
—Luke 15:4

​
​

The lost sheep? That was me, Reader.

​
​

It broke me to admit it. But it also began to heal me.
​

Because in that moment, I realized not just that I was lost… but that God had come to find me.

​

And in seeing my own lostness, I saw something else clearly for the first time: my parents were lost too. They didn’t have answers to the big questions because they didn’t know the One who held them. That’s what it means to be lost Reader—your heart is far from God, and you don’t even know it.

​
​

In today’s new podcast episode, I share more of that story—and why so many of us feel stuck spiritually, even when we’re doing all the right things.

Sometimes the root isn’t effort—it’s rebellion. Not loud defiance, but quiet mistrust.

Trusting everything but Him.

​

And here’s the truth that will change you, Reader:

​

God doesn’t just correct rebellion—He heals it.

​

He finds the lost. He restores the soul. He gives peace not after you fix yourself, but as you let Him in.

​

If you’ve felt far from God, or like something is holding you back even though you want to be close to Him—I hope you’ll listen.
​

Listen to the episode: “The Real Reason You’re Stuck Spiritually (And How God Heals It)”​

(Just under 15 minutes—gentle, raw, and full of Scripture.)

​
​

I also created a free devotional to help you reflect more deeply with God. You can download it here:

​
​

You’re not alone in your questions, your anxiety, or your desire for peace.

He sees. He heals. And He’s already coming after you.

​
​
With love and grace,

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

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...

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...
