A Word for 2026: Obedience
This year, God is calling His people to a place of obedience đź’«. Throughout the Bible, we learn that obedience đź’« : Need proof? Let’s look to some Scriptures: It does not get any better than that! There are countless more Scriptures that prove what the outcome of obedience đź’« will look like for believers. Throughout my own spiritual journey, I have also learned that obedience đź’«: It is not always an easy and fun walk, but it has always been worth it. God is not asking His children to be perfect Christians but to be ones who have a heart to please and serve Him. A heart that acknowledges…

God is Hiding You
I was out with a friend a few days ago and she said something profound to me. She said the exact thing God told me in my early 20s but seemingly, I forgot along the way as I entered year 30 this year. Therefore, I knew it had to be no one but God sending me a reminder that He has not forgotten about me. Prior to what she said, I had shared how slightly frustrated I was that to this day, I am still very much single. I never dated as I was never asked out nor was I ever in a relationship. I desire to be in a…

Allowing God to Write My Love Story
“Wow…” is all I can say as today, Wednesday, May 28th, 2025 marks the exact date 10 years ago when God gave me the Word about writing my love story. That date was Thursday, May 28th, 2015. The college semester was over and I remember lying on my parent’s bed in their bedroom on that sunny Spring afternoon reading a book recommended by my friend on my kindle, and God began speaking to me. I just turned 20 years old three months ago (February 8th, 2015). I turned over to get my phone from the nightstand on my father’s side of the bed, opened up the Microsoft Word app on…

The Price You Pay
I will never forget exactly 10 years ago at age 20 when I surrendered to God’s will for my life when it came to the area of relationships. I released the pen in my hand to give it to God so that He could write my love story. I did not know what to expect at that time but one thing is for sure, I did not expect to go through all that I went through in my singleness to date. I did not expect to cry so much about desiring a partner to do life with and it not happening by age 30. I did not expect to grow…

In the Midst of the Pain, God is Still There
I came home from church yesterday and as I was taking off my jewelry, I just fell to the ground sobbing. My heart was completely broken. This journey of singleness and purity has not been easy. Prior to turning 30 on February 8th, I made a declaration in November 2024 that I will live in my 30s and no longer focus on my relationship status. I will remain joyous, content, and at peace. I may not be in a relationship, married, and/or have children, but God has opened so many new doors of opportunity (e.g. becoming a Step/Dance Team coach, working in a different school district with my ideal population,…

Live Your Best Life: Year 30
On Wednesday, February 8th, 1995 at 11:45pm, 12 minutes after my twin sister was delivered, I finally came into this world, and two Saturdays ago, I officially turned 30! The days leading up to my 30th birthday, on a college-ruled loose leaf paper, I wrote down a list of all the things I’ve accomplished in my 20s. From moving to a new state, to obtaining 2 degrees onto my 3rd, starting my own business (SuppliedByAli Stationery Line) and a ministry (SingleChronicles7 LLC), getting involved in a dance school as an extracurricular activity (Contemporary, Afro-Caribbean, and Hip Hop), becoming a Step/Dance Team coach, starting my career as a school psychologist and…
