Hi!
How are
you today? Are you okay? I hope so! You gonna stay a while?
I'm
Aliyah, that's my Hebrew name. Hebrew kids have two names usually, one is
English, one is Hebrew. I use my Hebrew name online and when I write, but
Lauren is my English name. Depending on where people know me from, they refer
to me by both of my names and I don't mind because it's not that confusing. I
also have a double barrel surname, two surnames, now that seems to confuse
people! I started this blog in 2011, so that I could make sense of what I was
growing through. At the time I was struggling with deep depression and I needed
a place of "refuge" where I could share my feelings in an open space
without people judging me. Being that I am a believer in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus
Christ) the probability of being around judgmental people is very likely.
However, as I have barged on my ship through the slow (and sometimes chaotic)
streams of life, I have stopped along the riverside to take in the villages and
places where I have met deeper parts of myself. I have journeyed to this place
- the place I know am at. The place of deeper joy, deeper peace, deeper
fulfillment and deeper knowledge of the Love of an infinite God. Gosh, my life
has been a journey and yey I am so thankful for it! I could share so much with
you, what I will tell you is that I am a warrior woman who is called by Yeshua
to call the warrior women of God to join His army. This has been a life long
journey, and I am learning daily. I am passionate about stories, real life
stories and I am passionate about the stories of the unknown and lesser known
women of the Bible.
I am a
literary artist, that's a fancy term for someone who loves to create with
words, poems, articles, essays, novels, scholarly articles and books. I have
two books out and am excited about my first novel coming out July 2016! I
am learning a lot everyday and growing a lot, every day and I am learning the
art of bravery. Faith - filled bravery, it's a journey. So, what's your Story?

Beloved,
You are invited to taste the waters of God's peace and rest and then to drink
deep, saturating your spirit and soul in His endless waters of Love. You are
invited through a whisper, through His call of Love, so come…come… and may
perfect peace be your portion both now and forever.
Hi, I'm from Thee Angel Project and thought I'd hop on over to your blog today. I love this description of rest. I myself am recently struggling with heightened panic attacks and this blog project has come at just the right time for me to find some comfort and encouragement among women who have gone through such experiences. It's been such a great reminder to me as I ache for that fullness of peace and rest you talk about. So I enjoyed reading this section, and might have to come back again for a reminder! Have a blessed day/evening!

Oh, how I wish I lived closer...would love to meet you in person and chat about so much of what you share here. I walked through PTSD last year and God has brought me into deeper joy and freedom through that too. I'm also really interested in learning more about the Hebrew roots of faith and Biblical equality.
ReplyDeleteLove that you and your husband are in full-time ministry together. I look forward to the day God opens my husband's heart to believe.
