Refined in the Waiting: A Week of Surrender, Warfare & Mercy

“YAHUAH will perfect that which concerns me: Your mercy, O YAHUAH, endures forever.”

— Tehilliym (Psalms) 138:8

This past week has been one of the most spiritually stretching, emotionally intense, and faith-defining stretches of my life.

It’s now been nearly three weeks since the ER visit and the initial confusion about my pregnancy. And despite the ups and downs—the bleeding, the clotting, the waiting, the dreams—I have seen YAHUAH’s hand in every part. I am still pregnant. And more than that—I am being refined in the fire.

💧 Bleeding, Rest & the Mystery of the Womb

This week brought another wave of bleeding—intermittent, without pain, and often triggered by physical activity or stress. Each time I rest, the bleeding slows or even stops completely. This pattern aligns with what many experience when dealing with a subchorionic hematoma (SCH), though I haven’t received an official diagnosis.

Still, the clots I’ve passed have been unsettling. There have been moments—especially after particularly stressful days with the kids or preparing for our RV transition—when fear crept in and tried to overtake me. But each time, I ran back to the feet of YAHUAH.

He has sustained me. He has sustained this pregnancy.

💤 Dreams, Discernment & Deep Revelation

This past week brought dreams—some encouraging, some disturbing.

One was a vivid, almost prophetic dream involving my daughter. She was climbing a tree like a monkey, high and fast. I watched her from both within the dream and as if it were an old black-and-white home video. She let go—dangling, face-down—but wasn’t afraid. I caught her foot gently and helped her down. She was unharmed.

I believe this dream reflects what I’m currently walking through—trying to hold it all together, watching what feels out of control, and yet ultimately realizing that YAHUAH is allowing me to participate in protecting, guiding, and gently lowering what feels risky or unknown. Our daughter was safe. So is this baby—in His hands.

Another dream, darker in nature, seemed to represent spiritual warfare. A prisoner broke loose from his chains just enough to strangle someone—leaving behind only a giant green eye. I awoke to more bleeding. But I rebuked the enemy, prayed fervently, and the bleeding once again slowed.

This is not just physical. This is spiritual. And I’m in the midst of it.

🕊️ Faith Over Fear, Again & Again

There have been moments of peace so thick I could feel it like a blanket… and moments of panic where I had to fight to take every thought captive. But no matter what, YAHUAH continues to remind me:

“Now belief is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

— Ivriym (Hebrews) 11:1

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach.”

— Philippians 1:6

“Baruk are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”

— Yochanon (John) 20:29

Preparing for Exodus

As our move-out day draws closer and our new journey begins, I’m learning that this season is not about being in control. It’s about trusting Him with every step. We’ve simplified. We’ve downsized. And now, as a family of five (seven, counting the baby and our two cats!), we’re about to enter a whole new way of living—closer to creation, closer to YAHUAH, and more available for ministry.

This entire pregnancy has mirrored our journey: unexpected, full of warfare, dependent on Yah, and rich in mercy.

Even As I Write This

Even as I write this, I am bleeding again. But I will not let that stop me from believing. From testifying. From clinging to the promises of YAHUAH. This journey has been anything but predictable, but it has been filled with reminders of His presence. Messages from loved ones, like my sister-in-law just last night, reminded me that bleeding does not always mean loss. Her gentle words were a nudge from YAHUAH—a wink that I am not alone in this. That even in the unknown, His mercy still flows. So I will keep going. I will keep writing. I will keep believing—for life, for healing, for the perfect work He is doing in my womb.

“For we walk by belief, not by sight”

— Qorintiym Sheniy (2 Corinthians) 5:7

This journey hasn’t been easy. The ups and downs. The physical symptoms. The dreams. The confusion. But through it all, I’ve learned something deeper: faith isn’t passive—it’s active. It presses forward, even when the world and your body are screaming otherwise.

I am still choosing to declare life.

I am still choosing to speak the promises of YAHUAH over this womb.

I am still choosing to trust that what He has begun, He is faithful to complete.

“Baruk (blessed) is she who believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from YAHUAH.”

— Luqas (Luke) 1:45

Let this be a witness, not just for me, but for you, achoti. Even when the bleeding hasn’t stopped. Even when the world says it’s over. If YAHUAH has spoken life—believe Him.

🙏🏽 Final Reflection & Prayer

If you’re walking through something similar—uncertainty in pregnancy, unexplained bleeding, or medical confusion—I want to remind you: you are not alone.

Our Aluah sees you. He is not deaf to your cries. He is not confused by your symptoms. He knows the beginning and the end. And He will sustain what He has planted.

Prayer:

YAHUAH, thank You for the life growing inside me. Thank You for walking with me through the valley of uncertainty and showing me again and again that You are faithful. I surrender this child to You. I surrender my body, my emotions, and my plans to You. Strengthen me to walk by faith, not by sight. Rebuke the devourer. Heal my womb. Guard this baby. And use this story to awaken, comfort, and encourage others who are searching for hope.

In Yahusha’s Name, Ahmayn!

To the one who needs this reminder today: He is not finished. He sees. He knows. He will perfect that which concerns you.

Refined by Faith, Rooted in Simplicity: A Family Journey with YAHUAH

“Baruk is she who believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from YAHUAH.”

— Luqas (Luke) 1:45

This post is for anyone walking through a season of testing, confusion, or refining — especially if you’re carrying something (or someone) precious in your womb or your spirit. I’m writing this as a follow-up to my latest YouTube video, “I Still Believe: Misdiagnosed Pregnancy, Mixed Reports, and Unshakable Faith in YAHUAH” — because there is more unfolding that I feel led to share.

📖 A Quick Update: Faith Confirmed, Timeline Realigned

On June 1, I had an abdominal ultrasound that showed a gestational sac measuring 5 weeks exactly. After weeks of conflicting reports, discouraging lab results, and even a misdiagnosis of a molar pregnancy (with zero follow-up scans), this was a huge moment of peace.

This confirmed what I had been sensing all along — not because of numbers or tests, but because of what YAHUAH had spoken through prayer, through dreams, and through quiet conviction.

We now have a follow-up ultrasound scheduled for June 23, which — based on our estimated conception around April 16–17 — would place us at approximately 8 weeks pregnant on that day. HalaluYAH!

🔥 Refined by Faith: A Season of Maturity

This journey has not just been about a pregnancy. It has been about FAITH. Real belief and trust. Emunah. The kind that clings to the Word of YAHUAH when nothing else makes sense. The kind that says, “I still believe,” even when the evidence is delayed or the voices around you are loud.

“That the trying of your belief, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach.”

— Kepha Ri’shon (1 Peter) 1:7

What I’ve realized is that this season is not just about carrying life in the womb. It’s about becoming the kind of vessel who can be trusted with life, with legacy, and with the road ahead.

🕊️ Rooted in Simplicity: Our New Chapter

We are officially transitioning from Texas fo Florida! As a family of four (plus baby in the womb… and two cats 😅), we’re preparing to travel from Texas to Florida in obedience and faith.

This decision didn’t come lightly. It came through pressure, frustration, and prayer — all pointing to one truth: YAHUAH is calling us to simplify, surrender, and be available for what He’s about to do.

We are choosing a lifestyle that allows us to be:

Closer to creation and the rhythms of YAHUAH More present with our children, free from distractions, clutter, and noise. Open for ministry.

“Stand in the ways, and see, and ask for the ancient paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.”

— Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 6:16

🌿 Preparing for What’s Ahead

The wilderness has always been a place of preparation — and that’s exactly where we feel we are. Like Yashar’al leaving Mitsrayim (Egypt). Like Yahuhanan (John) crying out in the desert. Like Yahusha, being led into solitude before His ministry began.

This pregnancy journey — and this new chapter as a traveling family — is about being refined, rooted, and realigned with YAHUAH’s timing.

If you’re in a season of stripping or transition, I want to encourage you:

It’s not punishment. It’s preparation.

He’s making room for something sacred.

Abba YAHUAH,

We thank You for the refining, even when it hurts. We thank You for the wilderness, even when it feels lonely. Help us trust You fully. Strengthen us to believe when things look small or uncertain. Let us not grow weary, but rest in You. Prepare our homes, our hearts, and our hands for what You’re calling us to do.

In the Name above every name — YAHUSHA Ha’Mashiach — Ahmayn!

Stay bold. Stay humble. And keep walking the narrow path.
