Meet our sweet Zoey Elizabeth. 🎀🧺🫧

The moment we laid eyes on her, we knew her name fit her perfectly. 🤍🧵🪡

Her name has held a special place in our hearts for years (story for another day 🥹), and after much prayer, YAH gave us so much peace that it was meant for this sweet girl.

Zoey means life, and Elizabeth-meaning “YAH is my oath” or “YAH is my promise”-was my Nana’s middle name. She was one of the sweetest women I’ve ever known, so kind, and nurturing. She loved our Heavenly Father with her whole heart, had a way of making everyone feel loved, and I pray our Zoey grows up with that same love for YAH and shines His light wherever she goes. 🕯️

Z, may you always love the Most High with your whole heart, follow Yahusha all the days of your life, and never lose the light He has placed inside of you.

We can’t wait to watch the beautiful story He’s written for your life unfold. Welcome to the world, baby sis!! We love you so sooo much already. 🩷

P.S. I totally messed up her weight stat… 7lbs, 13oz…. Not 7:13… I blame my freshly postpartum, no sleep brain 😂😅😵‍💫

Our prayers were answered exactly one week ago! 😭 Baby is here, safe in our arms. Healthy and so deeply loved!!! 😍🤍

The siblings are OVER THE MOON 🌙 and completely in love with their little sister! Conner has been such an incredible partner through it all, and watching him become a daddy of 4 has been so precious to witness. ☺️

YAH has carried us every step of the way, and my heart is still trying to take it all in!!! 🤲🏽

Thank you all for the prayers, encouragement, and love! We are doing well and settling into life as a family of six.

One snuggle, one feeding, and one sweet newborn yawn at a time. 🥹

We’ve been in the cocoon for what feels like forever, and somehow month 9 is finally here (coming to a close 👀.) 🦋

As we prepare for YAH to safely bring baby #4 into this world, I can’t help but reflect on His faithfulness!

There was a time when I didn’t think I deserved this. After losing our first baby at 12 weeks and finding out she no longer had a heartbeat, I wrestled with guilt, grief, and questions I couldn’t answer. 😔

But YAH!!!! 🤲🏽

His plans were greater than what I could see in that moment!!!

Through the tears, through the waiting, through the questions, I kept turning my face toward Him. Not perfectly, but faithfully. He met me where I was, strengthened my faith, and taught me what it means to trust Him with an “even if” kind of faith. 🏹

Even if I don’t understand.
Even if the answer isn’t what I want.
Even if the waiting is long.

Six years later, here we are… three beautiful blessings earthside, one precious baby waiting to make their arrival, and one sweet baby resting safely in YAH’s hands.

I don’t share this to compare journeys, because every story is different. Some are celebrating, some are grieving, some are still waiting, and some are praying for their miracle. My heart is simply to encourage every mama to cling to YAH. Hold on to hope. Hold on to faith. Hold on to Him!!! 🙏🏽🤍💌

“This I recall to my heart— therefore I have hope: Because of the mercies of YAH we will not be consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning! Great is Your faithfulness.”
‭‭— Lamentations‬ ‭3‬:‭21‬-‭23‬ ‭TLV‬‬

A little life update. 🫧🏹🧸🧺🤍

YAH has been so good to us! Through every season, He continues to provide, refine, teach, and bless our family more than we deserve.

We’ve kept this part of the journey close for a while, but we’re excited to finally share what our Father has been doing behind the scenes. 😭🙏🏽

All glory to the Most High, the giver of every good gift from above! 🙌🏽

Clearing the air 🤍

I’ve had a lot of people asking my family and friends questions about my faith, like what I believe, what I don’t believe, and what “group” I’m in. So I figured it’s best to just say it myself.

First, please know this:
I am genuinely a kind, open, and approachable person. I love talking about faith, Scripture, the Most High, and our Messiah. You never have to whisper, speculate, or assume. If you’re curious, you can always ask me directly 🩷

Now, to be clear:

I am not in the Black Hebrew Israelite camp.
I am not in Judaism.
I am not a Seventh-day Adventist.
I am not a Jehovah’s Witness.
I am not part of any religious system or denomination.

Some people refer to me as a “Torah-observant Christian” or “Messianic” and I understand why those labels are used…especially with how I choose to educate my children and many of you come from Christian backgrounds as I did. While I respect that, the more I’ve learned over the year, I personally don’t anchor myself in labels like that. My focus is simply on following the Most High and our Messiah as faithfully and sincerely as I know how.

What I do believe is simple:

I am a follower of the Way - the truth and the light. A child of the Most High. I desire to walk as our Messiah walked, in relationship with our Abba, not in religion.

Some days feel so heavy.
It’s nonstop — the crying, the diapers, the meltdowns, the messes.
But deep down, I know I’ll look back and miss this version of them. 🥺
The little hands that reach for me 100 times a day.
The “mama” that echoes down the hallway.
They won’t always need me like this…
and that both breaks me and keeps me going. 🫶🏽
