These words have been on my heart lately. I find myself thinking things about myself that simply are not coming from the heart of God. We think these things and they become what we believe. Self-betrayal at its finest. We lose our souls that way and that’s just too damn expensive for me.

Goin ELECTRIC.
I found a great church here. Instead of a sermon today, they did a talk on mental health and the power of God in us to completely heal us, step by step. I’ve had my own share of mental and physical health issues in the last 10 years and I know many of you have too. I don’t feel shame around it, but I know it’s common to. I have just felt hopeless, like it would never end. Sometimes I didn’t know if it was the situation I put myself in or that I got put in (physical health issues, relationships, jobs, locations) that were the issues or if I truly was the issue. Or maybe it was Satan trying to steal my life. Maybe God was testing me, training me. Maybe all of it. I’ve sourced all my options for fixing “me”: eating right, exercise, supplements, medication, praying, meditating. These can be major resources God uses at the right times, just as along as they don’t BECOME your “source” of healing- your first go-to. I always hit a glass ceiling with it. And when I do, I’m back on the shore, surrendering to THE HEALER, THE COUNSELOR, the lover of my soul who knows exactly what I need and where. I don’t know what his plan is for it’s purpose in our lives, but I keep constantly opening up to the scriptures that talk about faith, healing people. Somehow it’s by your faith. He doesn’t call Himself “Healer” for nothing, either. I’m anxious to learn Him as my healer and counselor. Keep your faith and never underestimate the power of ability of God to completely shift your life at any moment. Wait in ANTICIPATION! Gods will for your life is LIFE. A life was created to be lived in, not to be a place of empty chaos. Here’s a new song I wrote called, “The Shore” 🌊🌊🌊

Breaking news! 📸 okay, not really but this is a moment for me of moving forward but also letting go of some of my babies. 3 of them to be exact. I’m taking my first three albums off digital platforms in a few weeks. (Each are pictured if you swipe, paired with a reinactment by yours truly!) 💕 The reason is: I’m planning on releasing more stuff this year and looking back on these albums, my voice has changed so much over 10 years of releasing albums since I was 18, I want to be represented online as my current self. With that said, these little guys were such a big piece of my heart and I hope they spoke to you in some way. If you want to buy one in the future, they’ll still be available from my website (alexmabey.com) . “Dancin’ in Dirty Feet” was released in 2008 when I was 17. Songs about my first heartbreak (hmm, Josh), my friend Brian I lost to cancer, my missions trip to Africa, and more. . “Banks if the Sky” was released in 2010 when I was 19 and had just moved home from Nashville. Songs about my high school sweetheart, another one about Brian, my friends’ relationships, train-hopping, etc. 🚂 . . “Bring Me Back, When I’m Far” was released in 2014, right in the brink of my health issues and a very dark long season I had to walk. Songs about reaching out to God, breaking free of an unhealthy relationship, songs of finding myself, finding my now husband Chad, and processing through all of the emotions during my early twenties. . I thank the Lord for all the things. This human experience is something isn’t it? He promised me a hopeful, bright future, and I am in that now. He is so faithful. .
Last minute show tonight at #belcourttaps 🎶 come hang out! @jasonparadisemusic @chriswattsband and I go on at 8! Shoutout to @shawnsahli for this throwback to when I lived in the desert and casually walked through it at 4am dodging snakes and high on coffee. 💃🏻 . . . #nashville #nashvillemusic #nashvillemusicscene #indie #folk #americana #songwriter #desert #view #music #vegas #pop #christian #country #dream #dreambig
