A Month of Stretching, Shifting, and Seeing Yahweh Move

It has been a crazy month so far, the kind where you blink, and suddenly it’s three weeks later, you’re living on caffeine and grace, and Yahweh is whispering, “Keep going. I’m doing something.” So, I wanted to pause and share an update and give you a peek into some of the things happening behind the scenes.

I’ve never liked that I work best under pressure, but it’s true. Last-minute deadlines seem to be where I excel, even though I want to be that early-to-bed, early-to-rise woman who sits with Yeshua while watching the sunrise. Trust me, I’ve tried. I’ve attempted to mold myself into becoming that peaceful morning person… but most nights you’ll still find me writing into the early hours either working on this blog or juggling other projects that simply have to get done.

Having to be out the door by 5:30 a.m. has at least motivated me to stop going to bed at 3:00 a.m., but I still haven’t managed to make it to bed before midnight. Baby steps, right?

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:8

We recorded six podcast episodes for Warrior Bride Ministries in the last two weeks. Whew. My brain was silly-tired by the end. I never expected to actually be on the podcast. My role has always been to help create content, review episodes, and push them out. But Kelly had the idea to use some of my blog posts and go deeper into the topics. So… ready or not, here we are.

The episodes will be releasing soon, and honestly, it will be interesting to see what kind of feedback comes through. I’ve never really considered myself “podcast material,” but Yahweh has never really been concerned about my comfort zone. He’s far more interested in obedience than polish.

My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:9

I’m in a season of new assignments and big shifts. When I walked off the platform after speaking at the conference, I heard Yahweh say, “Changes are coming.” At the time I didn’t understand it. I definitely didn’t imagine the direction things would go, or how quickly. But He has been moving full speed ahead.

I see those changes unfolding, new responsibilities, new doors opening, and a whole lot of stretching on my end. I’m excited for 2026 and everything He is positioning both in my life and in the ministry. But with new assignments comes the reality that a lot of behind-the-scenes work falls squarely on my shoulders.

I’ve been writing the curriculum for a new 6-week course launching in January, and it has been eye opening to realize that I actually know a lot more than I thought I knew. But translating what’s in my head from all the years of healing, experience, insight, and revelation into material anyone can follow? That part is stretching me. Still, it’s exciting to think about survivors gaining tools that will move them forward and help them understand themselves in deeper ways.

It’s surreal to be creating something that will help others heal. It feels like the redemption Yahweh promises. He really does work all things out for our good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. I would never be able to accomplish anything I’m doing without Him, and I give Him all the glory for all He has done.

It’s a Job Season… but also, a growth season

At the same time, I feel like I’m going through a Job experience, walking through some intense testing in the middle of the blessings. It’s a strange combination and I’m thankful that that I have friends that help me recognize both. There was a time when I couldn’t see the good because I was so hyper-focused on the bad. I’m very grateful to have eyes that see and ears that hear and a heart that is tender and responsive to Him today. I’m also humbled by the need to keep my mouth obediently shut while He works. The struggle is real, but I love Him so much, and I can’t believe I get to live this life!

Isolation is not my friend. Yahweh is stretching me into new relationships and revealing new safe people for me while exposing the ones on assignment against me. The irony is that as He moves me into new territory, He has also been calling me to pull away from certain things that used to sustain me. He knows how hard change is for me, but it still seems to be happening all at once. It feels like pruning. It feels like deep loss and a little betrayal. And yet… it also feels like preparation and is charged with excitement.

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth — do you not perceive it?
Isaiah 43:19

Protecting my system is still a top priority, and there are areas where I simply can’t compromise. But every time something is stripped away, He is faithful to replace it with something better, healthier, and more aligned with where He is taking me. In some areas, I’m impatiently waiting for Him to show me, but I know that I know He is faithful. I’ve learned, sometimes the hard way, that He rarely leaves me in the same place for long. He is always prodding me forward, deeper into knowing Him, deeper into healing, deeper into walking out my destiny.

The Lord is my shepherd; He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.
Psalm 23:2–3

As scary as it is, it’s time to step into what’s next.

So yes… life is a whirlwind right now. But it’s also full of things to be thankful for. I can feel Yahweh’s hand in the stretching, the shifting, the late-night writing sessions, the early-morning scrambling, the course creation, and even the uncomfortable work happening in my system.

He is doing something.
Something bigger than I expected.
Something that requires change, courage, and trust.

Here’s to the next season, the growing, the stretching, the healing, the building… and the unexpected places He will show up along the way.
