How To Stay Focus On Your Vision And Accomplish Your Goals
In the world that we live in, it is so easy to get distracted and loose sight of the things that we want out of life. Not only that, there is the devil who wants nothing more than to see you fail. Whether it is your job that may not even be your career, family, or finances, it can be difficult to pursue what you want out of life because of resources, lack of support, no openings, or simply, no vision. I had spoken to a friend of mines the other day and he had asked me how do I stay focus. Here’s what I told him: Do inventory. Who…

Letter To The Single Gal or Guy
Dear single friend, I know firsthand that being single is not easy. When you look for singleness sermons and ask others about singleness to help encourage you, they tell you all the good things. These are things you’ve probably heard: Enjoy your singlehood because you don’t have to answer to anyone. You get to spend time with your friends. You get to travel. Go on missionary trips. Be of help to others. You get to pursue your dreams whether it is to go to college or start your own business. You get to learn about you. You get to spend time with God with no interruptions….

You Are Set Apart
You cannot go where everyone else gets to go. You cannot do what everybody else gets to do. You cannot have what everybody else gets to have. You have to get to a place in your life where you can be okay with that.

God knows what you are feeling because He’s been there. When He walked the Earth as Jesus in the flesh, He was discounted, disqualified, mocked, rejected, and ostracized because of his determination and obedience to wanting…

Your past and even current circumstance(s) is what will bring forth an awesome testimony. It is what will draw people to Christ. God gave you a promise on how He wants to use you to speak to this lost and dying world, and He wants you…

How To Heal From Insecurities
I remember getting prayed over in March of 2019 by the associate pastor of my church during altar call. When he got to me, with my head bowed eyes closed, he touched my forehead and began to pray. Tears filled my eyes because he prayed what I needed to hear to continue on this journey. He gave me the scripture, “They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength…” He stated that I need to wait and to trust God. He told me to look at him but I couldn’t because I felt so ashamed and so unworthy. When I finally looked at him through the tears, he told…

#1 Advice for Singles Q&A
The below conversation came from Kassia, a now dear friend of mines who had reached out to me. Parts of the conversation were left out for privacy reasons. K: Hi Ali, am I able to message you on this Instagram page? I need some advice on my singleness. A: Hi! You definitely can! What’s going on? K: So, I wanted to see what are some ways to overcome being numbness to my singleness? A:What do you mean by numbness? Is it that you’re tired of being single? K: Basically.
