Christian Girl Chronicles with Alicia Sam

Welcome back everyone! Today’s blog episode is going to be the last of Christian Girl Chronicles, and so it’s going to be a little longer than usual. In it I am sharing my testimony of God’s faithfulness and goodness. Which feels like a full-circle moment. When God first led me to start this audio blog, I had no idea where it would lead to but I am so grateful on this day of Thanks, that it led me...

Welcome back everyone! Have you ever stopped to think about where fear and anxiety comes from? In my quiet moments this week I found myself thinking about this question and reflecting on the times in my past when I struggled with fear and anxiety the most. What I noted was that whenever I felt powerless, alone, helpless, and inferior, these were the times fear and anxiety showed up. For years, I a...

Welcome back everyone! The waiting season. It’s almost a buzzword at this point because everywhere you look, someone is talking about it. Whether you are single, married, or somewhere in the middle, everyone finds themselves waiting for something at one point or another. Depending on how you wait, can make this period anywhere from fine to agonizing. One thing I can admit about myself is that I do...

Welcome back everyone! Have you ever had someone say something negative about you that was either true or untrue and it left you feeling awful? Well, I bet you’re not the only one. Hurtful comments are hard to hear and sometimes these comments aren’t even intended to hurt you. But unfortunately, that doesn’t soften the blow. Our words have the ability to build someone up and cut them down. This is...

Welcome back everyone! Are there any perfectionists in the room? Let me see you! Being a perfectionist is something that I have always low-key loved about myself. I would laugh about it and proudly own that title when discussing it with others. In fact if you told me I was a perfectionist, not only would I agree with you but I would probably feel really good about it too. This was because in my mi...

Welcome back everyone! In the words of Tasha Cobbs, “I’m getting ready to see something I’ve never seen!” If that’s your meditation this year, shout, “I’m getting ready!” Happy new year everyone! It’s 2025, we’re a couple days in and I’m back with a blog to set you up for success. Whether you are committed to getting healthier, starting a business, repairing or beginning a new relationship, we wil...

Welcome back everyone! As a single Christian woman who would like to one day get married, I have tussled with the idea of marital submission for years. In fact, I told myself that I didn’t like it and it just wasn’t for me. However, in the recent couple of months, God has highlighted a few things to me that has kind of made me think differently about it and I wanted to share my thoughts with you i...

Welcome back everyone! Has anyone else noticed that Fall has arrived? Yes, it’s time for cozy layers, pumpkin-spiced lattes, warm brown and orange tones, and my personal favourite... the beautiful change of the leaves on the trees. Yes, it is no secret that Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. But the onset of Fall also places my heart in a reflective state and as always, this time of yea...

Welcome back everyone! Today we are continuing on in our self-development season and in the spirit of true self-development, we’re going there and talking about pruning. Yes, I know…no one likes to get cut but whether we want to admit it or not, cutting is part of the growing process. I remember several years ago, I did the big chop and I HATED it! I felt uncomfortable and even shed a few tears wh...

Welcome back everyone! Let’s be honest. It’s easy to extend grace when the offence is light. Like when someone steps on your toe in the bus. It may hurt a bit, but it doesn’t take much to give that person a pardon and let it go right? But what about when the offence is done by a friend, a partner, a sibling, a parent, or a mentor? What if the offence is malicious and intended to hurt you? What if...

Welcome back everyone! 
 Have you ever been told that you need tougher skin? That you were too soft? Too emotional? Do you feel like you feel emotions deeper than most people and therefore at times you hurt deeper as well? Then today’s blog is for you. 
 In a world where we are often encouraged not to wear our hearts on our sleeve, not to cry, and not to show emotion, it can feel like being an emo...

Welcome back everyone! In today’s blog we’re going to be talking about transformation. This has been a huge theme for me during the last few months as I’ve felt God calling me to a season of personal development. We’re going to be asking the hard questions of " Why am I like this? Why do I react this way? Is it just my personality or is something else going on?" And probably the most imp...

Welcome back everyone! We are gearing up for season 2 and as you can guess by the title, in today's prelude, we are talking about coming to the end of a road. It’s not the easiest place to find yourself as it usually means you need to figure out your next move. For some, that can be obvious and for others, not so much. But however you look at it, the end of one road often leads you to the begi...

Welcome back everyone! It can be very difficult to go through a hurtful experience. The actions of others can seem light in nature but have a lasting impact on those individuals experiencing the hurt. Some hurts can last days, weeks, months or even years. Some can even cause emotional trauma that make it difficult for one to heal from it. I definitely know what it feels like to be hurt by someone...

Welcome everyone! Have you ever tried praying to God and felt it didn’t sound “right”? Do you sometimes find yourself trying to pray like someone else? Or maybe, when you pray you run out of things to say or you struggle with knowing what to say? This week, I continue talking about prayer but this time I want to focus on why praying can feel hard at times and what influences this. If you can relat...

Welcome back everyone! Have you ever prayed for something sincere, and God said no to your request? How did you deal with it? I’ll admit, in the (not so far away) past, this wouldn’t have been something that I handled well—especially if what I was praying for was completely selfless and kind. This can be difficult in all our walks, but I find it especially hard in the singles journey. What do you...

Welcome back everyone! What do you do when you find yourself suddenly single? I mean step on the breaks, sharp left turn, completely out of nowhere - sudden. Our girl Ruth definitely knows a thing or two about this! Many of us know the Bible story of Ruth as a tale of romance— and how a suddenly-single woman snatched up her swoon-worthy husband Boaz. But things did not start off this way. In fact,...

Welcome back everyone! In today’s blog we are getting in the Word and I am going to be sharing three of my favorite scriptures that have influenced my singles journey. As the Holy book says, God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. There really is no way that we can expect to live a life for Him, if we are not spending time in His Word. However, the bible also says that we cannot...

Welcome back everyone! Today’s blog is going to touch on how to truly be single and content. It is a question I have been asking for years and although I found different resources that have tried to provide an answer to it, I don’t believe I have come across anything that has put it over in the way that God helped me put it over in today’s blog. Similarly, to how athletes must go through grueling...

Welcome everyone! Happy New Year! Today is the first blog of 2024 and in it I am talking about my heart’s posture at the end of 2023. It is common practice for us to spend the year end focusing on what stressed us out and, vowing to do things better in the new year. #NewYearNewMe But in today’s blog, we’re going to do things a bit differently and instead focus on all the things that went right in...

Welcome back everyone! This is going to be our last blog of 2023 and we are wrapping up our series on identity. I’m so pleased with this concluding blog and it’s a perfect way to prepare for a new year. Identity is so important in our Christian walk. How we feel, what we think about, even who we choose, is all directly linked to knowing who we are in Christ and even though this continuous process...

Welcome back everyone! Today, we’re going to attempt to answer the question that many single individuals ask: “Why Am I Still Single?”  Now today’s blog is not for the fly individuals who are rocking their singleness happy and content. This one is for my singles who desire a relationship and are wondering how much longer they must wait for one. For Christian singles who want to be in a relationshi...

Welcome back everyone! Have you ever been faced with a time in your life when you questioned whether you were ready or not? Perhaps, you have been out of practice for a while and you’re not sure if you’re ready to get back out there. Or maybe you’ve just become accustomed to living life a certain way and now God is asking you to follow Him into unfamiliar territory. How do you know that you are tr...

Welcome back everyone! Today’s blog is going to deal with matters of the heart-literally! We’re going to be talking about the heart in it’s literal, emotional and biblical sense. Now this one is going to be a little personal for me, only because I really do believe that God has given me a unique heart that loves deeply and unfortunately also hurts deeply. So, if you can relate to that, today’s blo...

Welcome back everyone! Today’s blog is going to focus on believing that God will restore everything that the enemy has taken from you, whether that be time, opportunities, or even godly relationships that may have gotten lost throughout the years. If you’re like me, sometimes you may find it hard to trust God with the things that seem impossible. However, as He has revealed to me this morning, the...
