For the one who’s finding their way back. In the beginning, we had access to the Tree of Life; real peace, real joy, real closeness with YHWH. No walls. No shame. Just life in its purest form. But when mankind chose our own way instead of His, we lost more than a garden. We lost Eden itself; our direct connection to the life-giving presence of YHWH. From that moment on, we’ve been trying to find our way back; not just to a physical place, but to the closeness we once had with

You’ve probably heard the phrase “a land flowing with milk and honey." It’s about the promise and quiet abundance. It’s not always loud or flashy, but it’s real. And it’s still relevant. But what does that really look like in everyday life? To me, it’s not just about a place or a destination. It’s a way of living. Milk and honey were signs of a land cared for. A land that could feed you and refresh you. A place where your needs were met, and where sweetness could still be fou

You ever walk into a place and feel something before you even sit down? I’m not talking about clean floors or perfectly placed throw pillows; though I do love a clean space. And I’ve fluffed my fair share of pillows. I’m talking about that soul-deep peace that meets you at the door, like it’s been waiting for you. Song of Solomon 1:17: “The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.” This verse isn’t just about a house; it’s about what makes us strong. Cedar and fi

Choice Spices was created from a place, where pain and purpose meet. Where love doesn’t erase every struggle, but walks with you through it. It’s more than a fragrance. It’s a reminder of the cost… and the love that paid it. That price was paid for you, and it wasn’t light. It wasn’t just a kind thought or a sweet gesture. It was deep. It was costly. It was painful. And it was *love* that paid it. Not the kind of love the world gives and takes back. Not a love that is conditi

There are times when life feels like it’s falling apart. What we’ve held close; our plans, our relationships, our comforts, seems to slip away like sand through our fingers. It’s in these moments, when everything feels uncertain and shifting, that we’re faced with an important question: What if these aren’t signs of abandonment? What if these are the divine interventions of YHWH, preparing us for something far greater than we can see? We cling to what’s familiar; the people,

Life can feel overwhelming at times, can’t it? The world constantly demands more from us; more time, more energy, more attention, and before we know it, we’re running on empty. We worry about tomorrow: what we’ll eat, what we’ll wear, how we’ll make ends meet, and those worries steal our peace, making it hard to breathe, rest, or just *be*. But Yahusha offers a powerful truth that can set us free if we listen: "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be

One Flesh and the Importance of YHWH's Timing Now that we've shared our Men of Valor and Women of Virtue collections, we recognize that the concept of One Flesh is realized when these two come together in unity, guided by YHWH's divine plan. The One Flesh Bundle symbolizes this sacred union, where we first find wholeness in Him, then come together in love and unity. It serves as a reminder that relationships should be rooted in His divine timing and purpose. Life often pressu

Woman of Virtue, I need you to hear this, not just with your ears, but with your heart. You are not just getting through the days, not just holding everything together for everyone else. You are more than the quiet sacrifices, more than the love you give without expecting anything in return. You are seen. You are cherished. Even when no one speaks it, even when you feel overlooked, YHWH has His eyes on you. He has placed within you a strength that doesn’t shout for attention
