Alex G on Overcoming Anxiety and Music with James David and Danielle Bennett
Life can get stressful especially in the world we live in and maybe you can relate to Alex G’s story of how she’s learning to overcome anxiety – I definitely could relate to the frustration, feelings and am inspired by her vulnerability…
“I have had bad anxiety since I was 10 years old. For those of you struggling with it, I understand now that it can be really serious and damaging. Be compassionate towards each other. You have no idea how much it can help those with emotional needs!
“This is my story. I hope that it encourages others who struggle with mental disorders to start the process of stepping away from their shame and fear. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!” – Alex G
Be sure to check out Alex’s amazing music – here are some of my favorites: her passionate cover of “I Was Made For Loving You” with James David (DAVIE) (the original is by Tori Kelly and Ed Sheeran) and her original song Lighthouse with spoken word by Danielle Bennett – so beautiful, heart-moving and relevant to what so many people are feeling in the world today. All of these young artists are inspiring ones to follow, be sure to check out their sites below!

Missing Out On Love: David Marvin Shares Encouragement for Singles at The Porch
David Marvin shares an inspiring word on our the desire for love in this message from The Porch at Watermark in Dallas, TX.
We all fall under two camps: some of us are happy to be alone and don’t want a relationship, while some of us are just wishing and waiting for the right guy or girl to come along any minute. But, all of us are missing out on true love. That true love always involves God because God is true love. When we feel unlovable, God sees us as being worthy. He seeks our own best and He bears all thing. He made the first move, making a way for us to experience the fullness of His love through Christ dying for us while we were still sinners. We may feel like we can’t be loved and want to resist it, but no matter what we’ve done, we can never outrun God’s true love for us.

Trust, Believe and Live a Higher Dream: With God Nothing Is Impossible
Do not fear – no matter how your life may seem, a miracle is always possible – we were created for the extraordinary…
She thought she was an ordinary girl – but little did she know that she was made for extraordinary purpose that would deliver the gift of light to the world. When she surrendered her life to manifest what seemed impossible, she found out that the greatest dreams are birthed through great Love and miracles…
It may have seemed like a strange way to save the world but there’s such mystery and beauty in the way Love came down to be with us, rescue us from darkness and experience life as us so we can live with Him forever. Just as Mary let God’s dreams flourish through her life – plans that were greater and deeper than she could imagine – let’s do the same and be carriers of love and the greatest dream. Remember in this season and in the upcoming year that with God, nothing is impossible.
God is always greater than our circumstances and His purpose and promises are forever true. He is a God of miracles, marvels and great love for you and I, represented in the present He sent to live among us – Jesus, God incarnate, love personified…Trust that God’s dream and love for you is greater than your own will – He can do the supernatural in our lives if we surrender to a higher story. #letLovelead #Believe #bestill #bethemiracle #anythingispossible
“You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what He said.” Luke 1:45
– Julene

The Lord Will Fight for You: Encouragement from the Word and an Inspirational College Student
Inspiration from the Halls of College…
We’ve featured Shirley’s inspiring videos (find her at FarAwayDistance on Youtube) before on SOAR. Since then she’s started college and has been learning to grow closer to God throughout the struggles and journey. In this video she shares how no matter what you’re going through God will stand and fight for you – you just have to trust Him with your battles.
Some of the verses Shirley shares in this video:
This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” from 2 Chronicles 20
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? from Romans 8
This God—His way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him. from Psalm 18
The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. from Exodus 14
From Shirley: Sorry it’s been so long! College is crazy! But you are BEAUTIFUL and I just want you to know that no matter what you’re going through, you’re not alone. God is with you no matter what you’re facing. Keep holding on. God is GREATER than whatever you are facing.
