So many of us have issues that we bury deep inside. We cover them up because we just don’t have time or energy to move through them. Unresolved issues always come back if we don’t deal with them. So today I just want to admit that I still need healing.
To be completely transparent with you, one of the issues I’m dealing with is that I often feel like I’m just not good enough. I know that isn’t true, but it’s an area I currently struggle with. One of the ways I cope with this issue particular issue is by observing Yahuah’s creation.
“And Elohim saw all that He had made, and see, it was very good. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the sixth day.”
Berĕshith (Genesis) 1:31 TS2009
Created to be very good.
Outside of reading Yah’s Word and praying to Him, I find spending time in nature helps me to reset when I get in a negative headspace. Nature has this way of being perfectly imperfect. It just exists. Nature does what it was created to do, and that’s what makes it good. It’s so balanced that you can’t help but feel good when you find a little pocket of peace in nature to rest in.
When I take time to observe the beauty that Yahuah’s made, and remember that He said in Genesis that His creation was very good, it reminds me that the same Elohim who created this world also created me. So even if I feel broken for a moment, or feel that I’m just not good enough, I’m reminded that just like the rest of Yah’s creation, I was created to be very good.
My husband and I just got back from a trip to Yosemite National Park here in California. The moments we spent in Yosemite Valley by the water are the ones I wish I could freeze and experience all over again.
Neither my husband nor I are perfect. Like I said at the beginning of this post, we all need healing. But we love Yahuah, and just like you, we are created in His image. Every single one of us, I’m sure, can find cracks in our broken vessels. We all have issues to deal with. But in our weakness Yah is strong. (2 Corinthians 12:9.) Our Creator, our Elohim, can heal and restore if we let Him. His Word will teach us how to live and be made whole again.
‘Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear Elohim, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. ‘
Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV
Healing in the stillness
Although there’s no real substitute for spending time in Yah’s creation, we can’t always get out into nature. So do what you can to pause and find stillness and balance in your every day life. Keep reading Yah’s word, it’s healing. Make time to pray, it’s healing. All these things keep you connected with Yahuah.
I’m sharing these moments at Yosemite with you in hopes that you’ll feel more peace and balance. Even if it’s just for a few moments in this crazy chaotic world. No matter what issues you’re struggling with – Yah willing, the sounds of nature and the visual of Yah’s creation will help to bring a little more healing to your soul.
‘Heal me, O יהוה, so that I am healed. Save me, so that I am saved, for You are my praise.’
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 17:14

This morning Yahuah gave me another song through the Psalms. I had plans to share something else – but when Yah gives you a gift, you can’t slap His hand and tell Him, “No.” It seems like the more time I spend in Yah’s Word, the more songs just start flowing out. HalaluYah! His Word never returns to Him void.
The new song is based on Psalm 71, especially verse 14.
‘But I will hope continually,
And will yet praise thee
more and more. ‘
Psalm 71:14
How many times have you gotten stuck in a circumstance, and found yourself just praying and asking Yah to make a way? There’s nothing wrong with asking for help or seeking Yah’s guidance. He absolutely wants us to do that. But we must also stop and give Him thanks and praise – just because He’s been so good! Look at all the things Yahuah’s already done 🙂
My prayer is that you will hear this song, and keep up your hope in Yahuah. I know the song isn’t perfect yet, but neither is life! So keep hoping, keep waiting, keep trusting, keep believing in our Maker Yahuah. He has a plan for your life. So praise Him through it all.
Enjoy the video below.
‘Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. ‘
Psalm 71:8
If you enjoyed this song, I hope you’ll share it with a few friends. Everyone needs a little encouragement from time to time. Hopefully I’ll see you in the comments as well, especially if you have a praise report or something to give thanks to Yahuah for. It’s always good to connect and Praise Yahuah. So I’ll see you in the comments. Sending love!!

This week’s meditation comes in the form of little sneak peek 😉 It’s a new song called “Search Me Oh Yah,” based on Psalm 139:23,24. It’s still a work in progress, just started writing it yesterday, but I pray it will bless you as it is right now. Let me know what you think in the comments. I pray you’ll just close your eyes and enjoy it.
May Yah bless you and give you peace as you meditate on the words of this scripture song. You can sing it as a prayer to Yahuah. “Search Me Oh Yah and know my heart…” Enjoy the video below.
“Search me, O El, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.”
Psalm 139: 23, 24
I’ll be taking a bit of a break from making so many new music videos so I can actually finish recording the next album for you. You may see more things like this sneak peek, or behind the scenes videos coming up for a little while. And I’ll continue to have scripture meditations on my second channel for you as well. Hopefully you’ll enjoy coming on the journey with me, but if you’d rather just be surprised when the album is finally done, you can say so in the comments as well. I’m open to hearing all your feedback.
Sending love and shalom to you! Let Yah’s Word reign in your heart! Be blessed and enjoy the upcoming Shabbat. I know we all need it 🙂

I’m still learning to wait on Yahuah – To let go of everything and simply trust in Him. Just finished writing a new song based on Psalm 130 called My Soul Will Wait. It’s not perfect, but I pray Yah will continue to refine both my heart and the music over time.
Let Israel hope in יהוה:
For with יהוה there is mercy,
And with him is plenteous redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Psalm 130:7,8
Let’s worship Yahuah together. No matter what’s going on, remind your soul to wait on Yahuah and trust in Him.
I wait for יהוה, my soul doth wait,
And in his word do I hope.
Psalm 130:5
Stay encouraged Mishpacah. He will never leave nor forsake you. You’re never alone.
Have a blessed Shabbat when it comes.

Shalom Mishpacah, it’s Hadarah. Sometimes spontaneous songs based on scripture just come to me throughout the day. After meditating on The Book of Proverbs this week, and recording audio scriptures for you to enjoy, this little chorus, which for now is called “Proverbs 3 Song” came over my heart. It’s based on Proverbs 3:1,2, which says,
“My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
Proverbs 3:1,2
For the song lyrics, I changed it up a bit. It just flowed out like this:
“For length of days
And long life shall they add to thee
My commandments
Will bring you peace
Don’t forget my law
For length of days
And long life
Shall they add to thee
My commandments
Will bring you peace
Let your heart
Keep my commandments “
Yahuah put it on my heart to share this Proverbs 3 song with you in the video below 🙂 Sometimes it’s nice to just enjoy music and nature in its pure, true, authentic form, without any editing or special effects. I hope this video blesses you, and allows the message in these first two verses of Proverbs 3 to go deep inside your heart.
Enjoy the video! It’s my first time trying “shorts” on my YouTube music channel 🙂
If you’d like to see more of these little spontaneous scripture songs, leave a comment and let me know 🙂 I enjoyed making this! May Yah bless you and give you peace.
Okay, I’ll see you in the comments! Your feedback is always welcome.
