Advertise on podcast: Maybe You're Like Me with Alicia Watson

Maybe you're like me and you need to get your priorities straight. Are you prioritizing what really matters? I had to hear this today: my focus has been too tied to immediate results and not enough on God's plans. This morning, I was reminded through scripture that God's house and the things He commands us to do should be our priority. It's easy to get caught up in tasks that seem urgent but aren't aligned with His purpose. What if the small, seemingly insignificant things are exactly where His abundance awaits? Seeking His kingdom first = a harvest of peace, joy, and abundance. 🌱 Maybe you're like me, realizing that trusting Him means letting go of control and choosing obedience. Are you willing to shift your focus today? Trust the process. Prioritize His plans.

Maybe you're like me and you're still learning (and that's a great thing). In this episode I share about my first winter in Maryland. When I moved to Maryland from Michigan, I thought I could handle any winter weather. But my first snowstorm here? Total disaster.   I totaled my car and took out a mailbox, all because I underestimated the conditions.  The lesson? Just because you know how to do something doesn’t mean you know how to do it everywhere.  It's about adapting to new environments and staying teachable.    Even as we grow in our faith, we must remain curious and open to learning.    Scripture references:  Romans 12 Proverbs James 1:5  Rate, subscribe, and share with a friend!  ABOUT ME: https://www.aliciawatson.com STAY CONNECTED: IG:  TheAliciaWatsonYouTube: TheAliciaWatson*Grab a copy of my book: Secret Donuts: A Journey to Getting Over Your Weight, Aligned with God and into Your Purpose "In Secret Donuts, Alicia Watson takes us through her story of her obsession with losing weight, something she believed was a necessary step to carrying out her purpose, when in fact her compulsive need to do so was the hindrance."

Maybe you're like me and you're ready for some action.  Action is the word of the day and I hope you're ready for it! There are so many things that stop us from taking action and getting motion. I know for me there are situations (real or imagined) that make me want to sit in the space of comfort that I’m in, comfort that doesn’t require me to face my fears.  But as 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and self-control. Which means we have more than enough to make some moves and make something shake, to change the trajectory of our lives, to be something different, so we can see something different. I hope you're ready to make moves and make 2026 your most fruitful and active year yet! I know I am. Let's see what God's going to do in and through us.  Need more motivation to get in motion?
