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!

SOAR Christmas Playlist Part 1: Born Tonight and Christmas Together from Jamie Grace
The SOAR Christmas Playlist will feature awesome songs to inspire you this Christmas Season from some of our favorite artists. Check back for more on our Christmas Playlist…
Born Tonight from Jamie Grace
“Born Tonight” is from the new EP “Family Christmas: Songs by Jamie Grace & Morgan Harper Nichols” which you can get here on iTunes. The album features two Christmas songs by Jamie Grace, two songs by Morgan and a song by Harper Still, the collective name for the two sisters who regularly write and perform together. I love the refreshing sounds that make for very unique and moving Christmas music.
Here’s another fun and heart-warming video from Jamie Grace’s Christmas EP, Christmas Together – it’ll get you smiling and in the Christmas spirit! I love how she got her family and friends together on her birthday to shoot the video, and the lyrics and feel of the song are cleverly melded and entertaining. You can get her Christmas EP on iTunes by clicking here!

Editor’s Journal and Inspiration: Truth and Love…It All Begins with Trust
Our hearts long for love, to be restored to the place where we were fulfilled without end. Trust is where it all began…
It was 2009 during a dry, lonely season in my life when I had an unexpected encounter that rocked my paradigm. During the experience I had a vivid vision of being in a white dress in what seemed to be a grand forest. My first inkling was, “Is this The Garden?”
There was a calmness, a brilliance, a presence of Love there. Like a little girl I was full of questions- “Father, why…?” I asked. He revealed his heart and love for people from the Beginning, in imagery and passion, an intimate experience I will never forget and could never have imagined on my own…
These words I remember my Father saying there were the most striking to my heart: “Do you trust me?”
Yes. I do. I will follow His way, always. Even when I don’t understand, I will choose Him. Forever… #IamMyBeloveds #HeisMine #trusttheAuthor #theLovestoryofalltime
God is calling you to go deeper into His Love! Your past may have been difficult but it doesn’t eclipse His everlasting Love or plans for your life…He’s been giving me visions of a garden and speaking and singing Song of Songs into my spirit – I believe its a true reflection of His heart for us – we are His Beloved and He is ours, forever and ever…
– Julene Fleurmond, Editor of SOAR
My Beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away…
For behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree ripens its figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance.
Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.”

Another song from their sophomore album with a solemn, honest and heart-moving message is “Without You” which shares the story of Luke’s bout with a draining illness and the journey he and his wife Courtney (who is featured in the song) had learning to trust God whatever the outcome of the sickness would be. Watch both the official music video and the story behind the song below:

“Fix My Eyes” Lyrics
Hit rewind
Click delete
Stand face to face with the younger me
All of the mistakes
All of the heartbreak
Here’s what I’d do differently
I’d love like I’m not scared
Give when it’s not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on you

A Note from Dream in Soul Editor Julene
God writes the best #Love stories – you don’t have to strive, compare, or hold on to someone who doesn’t treat you how you’re worth. You are worthy not because of the physical or material, anything you did or didn’t but because of Whose you are…
You’re already affirmed by He who wonderfully made you in and for Love. When He desires to bring people together in & on purpose He will do it intricately, strikingly and beautifully beyond anything we can imagine or dream for reasons deeper than we realize. Keep your eyes on Him – He’s our true eternal prize. There is no greater Love. – Julene Fleurmond, Editor of Dream in Soul
More from the Editor’s Journal:
How He Loves…Always
He loves me?
Sometimes experiencing what we call romance in this world leaves us wondering what love truly is. You feel that happy pounding and patter in your chest when he reveals a bouquet of roses and candy. Getting hurt though can peel away the layers of our hearts, like someone plucking the petals from a flower…
