Shalom Mishpacha, it’s Hadarah.
My heart needs to be renewed today. I’ll share more as we go through the blog post. As you read, I want you to ask yourself this…
Are there any areas of your life that need to be renewed?
Spring is almost here.
There are just a few more weeks till Spring is officially here, and I am SO grateful. It’s one of my favorite seasons. In my personal life, I’ve been focused on humbling myself before Yahuah, minimizing “entertainment” and just allowing YAH to renew my heart so I can focus on what truly matters.
When it comes to making music, if my heart isn’t in the right place, there’s just nothing left to give. So my prayer is that Yahuah would make me over again, and help me to approach my music from a renewed place of freedom, and not out of a sense of obligation or fear.
“Create in me a clean heart, O Elohim, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
Psalm 51:10
Fear or Freedom
I can’t lie, I do fear what The Most High would think of me, as His child, if I should ever choose to completely stop making new music for The Kingdom. I’ve been making music since the age of 4. I tried to quit piano lessons several times growing up, but I wasn’t allowed to. Recently, I recognized that I still carry a lot of that negative energy from being forced to make music into the music I make today. Sometimes I still feel forced to make music, when truly, that isn’t the case anymore. I can choose to approach making music with freedom.
In spite of the intellectual awareness that I am not being forced, still, I often have to push myself to make music and intentionally shift my focus to create space for it in my life. When my heart is in the right place, instead of me having to push myself, music just flows naturally. So that’s why I say my heart needs to be renewed.
Even though a large part of me wants to quit making music altogether, I still feel a very strong calling to use my voice for The Most High. So don’t worry, I’m still going to keep pushing myself. Making space for music and shifting focus is where it all starts. That’s why I’ve been posting more shorts on YouTube lately. Praise Yahuah, the energy is starting to shift. Click here if you want to enjoy those shorts.
In contrast to making music, I find there’s a totally different energy in my heart towards my garden. I don’t have to push myself to be there. There’s a pull towards my garden that I simply can’t deny.
If you have that same kind of energy towards a particular place or passion project in your life, leave comment below and tell me all about it. I’d love to hear more from you!
Be Renewed
The garden is a place of renewal. Every Spring, buds and flowers bloom, and new life emerges. Yahuah sends the rain and new life just springs forth! All praise to Yahuah Most High!
I made a video for you to experience some of that life in our garden out here in California. There are clips from this past Fall to the early signs of Spring. As you enjoy the video, and listen to the music, “Renew Me,” one of my originals from “Yahuah Acoustics Vol.2“, I pray you will contemplate if there are any areas of your life that still need to be renewed. You can share more about them in the comments below if you feel moved.
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Elohim.”
Romans 12:2
Do you, like me, ever catch yourself operating out of a sense of fear instead of freedom?
What can you do to let Yahuah renew your heart, and make you over again?
Let’s wait on Yahuah together. Let’s allow Him to renew our hearts. If we stay focused on His Word, and His will for our lives, we all can be renewed once again.
“But those who wait on יהוה renew their strength, they raise up the wing like eagles, they run and are not weary, they walk and do not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31

Hi there, I’m Hadarah Batyah. I sincerely believe that in order to have a spiritual walk that is authentic and true, the Word of Yahuah must be written on the inside of our hearts. That's why I write scripture songs and set apart music. Although I don’t have everything in my spiritual life all figured out, I know that Yahuah gave me the gift of music to serve Him and encourage your heart. I pray you'll be inspired by what you see on this blog. If you're curious and wanna know more- I tell it all on the
Hadarah,
I loved this and it is so needed at this time. I love your garden.
Yah always knows what we need and when we need.
Todah for this beautiful song and have a great day
Shalom Gwen, I’m so glad this came when you needed it. Praise Yahuah. Be blessed today!
Thank you for such an inspirational story. I had to look at myself and really think, and pray to Abba regarding the renewing that I needed and have to work towards.
Praise Yah Shantel, I’m glad you were able to take a moment to think about it. May Yahuah continue to lead us all as we seek His face (BIG HUGS)
Shalom sister Hadarah. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. You’re music always gives me peace.
You’re garden takes me back to days ago when I was young, not in a wheelchair and able to enjoy all the richness of placing my hands in the soil and enjoy my own garden. Yadah Yahuah, such marvelous memories.
You have given me sooooo much joy today
Have a wonderful Shabbat.
Yahuah barak you dear sister of mine in Yahusha Mashiach.
Shalom sister Patricia! I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear that you were able to travel down memory lane today! Praise Yahuah – may your joy continue to be renewed, and may it overflow and overflow again!! Much love and shalom to you – Have a beautiful Shabbat filled with Yah’s peace through Yahusha 🙂 Stay blessed.
Shalom Aleicha my Dear Sister,
I thank Yahuah Al Shaddai for inspiring you to continue to Baruch all who are privileged to witness your Creative Spirit that He has endowed you with!
As one who Abba Yahuah has given His Voice to be Shouted Through Word And Song, I empathize with you on the occasional feeling of being blocked from allowing the creative juices to flow. But I don’t take those times as Him not inspiring me. What it is turns out to be a time when He motivated me to pursue Other Creative Endeavors to Broaden my influence in other aspects of life in His Kingdom. If we are singular in our approach to life here on earth, are we truly prepared for the next 1000 years and beyond in His Eighth Day of Dispatching us to various parts of the Universe?
My answer to this is To Expand Your Peripheral Vision and continue to Grow in as many Disciplines as you can!!! Remember, Sh’ lomo stated that there’s A Time for All Things under the sun…I like and adhere to that Wisdom.
Although today, or for the next 30 years, you attain perfection in the Skill of Song Writing and Performance as a musician, is that All that you shall choose to be throughout Eternity?
I hope that you see what I’m saying and don’t be disappointed in my instruction, because if this is the way Al Shaddai Speaks through you, So be it ..Be Happy!
Just remember that like Our Abba Yahuah, we Shall have Many Disciplines to share with creation and Show the Universe that we were Truly Made In His Image to be a Blessing in Sooo Many Ways!!!!
Keep The Faith, my Sister!!!
Yours is a Gift to be Celebrated!
Shalom Aleicha
DJ

Shalum Sister Hadarah!🤗❤️
Your words resonate with me and Yahuwah truly renews my heart and mind through your beautiful songs and lovely garden.❤️🙌 Hearing your songs help me to understand and apply YAH’s Word to my life much better. I’m so grateful and thankful to Yahuwah for blessing me/us all with you beloved!🥰❤️🤗
I was reading a newsletter and the topic was to consider how the wildflower grows from Luke 12:27-28 where Yahuwshuwa encourages trust in Yahuwah’s provision rather than anxiety. I’m learning to slow down, pause, observe nature, and rest especially during this winter season that’s preparing me for spring time.😊 I’d like to learn to live again by YAH’s seasons, and come out of this Matrix. I am learning more skills too, one of which is plumbing because I had to unclog the toilet 🪠 which was a messy job 😀, and my plunger broke 😩😀 and I couldn’t call maintenance to help me because they were gone for the day and fear kicked in😨, but YAH calmed me down and showed me what to do and what tools to use to get the job done. 😅😊 HalaluYAH!!!🙌
Shalum Sister Kim!! Shabbat Shalum ❤️😌 I love your story lol 😁 oh Yahuah is sooo faithful. He really does care about every aspect of our lives!!!
And as for living with the seasons, that’s heavy on my heart too. It’s something I’m trying to practice as much as I can 😌❤️ In as many applications as possible.
May Yahuah lead and guide us through all the seasons of our lives!!
Shalom Sister Hadarah!
it is truly something and amazing how we, in the Covenant family, share the same feelings of the heart and only wish to be pleasing to Yahuah. I am convinced that Yah is fully aware of our fears, uncertainties, and perhaps He is preparing the way before us.
There were a lot of “to do’s and must do’s” when I was growing up and those things carried into my adult life. But something changed within me, maybe a renewal of my heart and mind. A willingness and a wanting to do what pleases Yah, not out of fear, but out of love for Yahuah. HalleluYah, because that true willingness and wanting was a reversal of my old self. It went from, I have to because I’m supposed to, and flipped to I want to and I can’t wait to! There’s a renewing every morning and His compassions fail not.
I feel most free and alive when I am writing, journaling, singing, but maybe there is more that I am to do. And yet, I am learning how to wait, pray, seek Him and see where I’m supposed to go and what I’m to do, today. And if it is in His will, I will do this or that.
You, Hadarah, have a beautiful gift of music and song that draws many closer to Yah and your spoken words are light hearted and genuine, that comfort our hearts. It is a blessing to be a blessing to His people.
Have a restful and reflective Shabbat.
Shalom
Shabbat shalom Sister Tammi 😌 thank you for sharing your heart ❤️ that’s beautiful how you allowed the love of Yah to compel you forward 🥰 Truly beautiful 🥹 May His love for us all go deep and move in all our hearts for His esteem!! HallaluYah 😌
