The Heart Behind It All
A journey of becoming, healing, and learning to trust God while unlearning old patterns, renewing my mind, and recognizing the quiet evidence of His faithfulness.
Welcome Home, Darling

Meet Ms. Lauren
Held in the Process was born out of my own journey through transition, and truthfully, I am still walking through it. This season has stretched me - it has softened me, - and has challenged me in ways I never expected! So much of what once felt steady shifted beneath me. Let me tell you, the plans, the comfort, the sense of control, and even the version of myself I thought I had to be - shifted. But in the uncertainty, I hold onto this truth:
God is still near, still faithful, and still working, even when I cannot see the full picture yet
Sometime last year, God anchored my heart with Isaiah 43:19: “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” And that word "perceive" would not let me go.
Because the truth is, when life is shifting, it is not always easy to see what God is doing. When the familiar falls away, when the plan changes, when the version of life you imagined no longer looks the same, it can be hard to perceive anything except the pressure of the moment. But even there, God kept reminding me: I am moving. I am present. I am faithful. I am not finished.
And if I am being completely honest, my spirit is willing, but my flesh/mind has not always followed easily.
This journey has required more than saying the right faith-filled words. It has required surrender in places I wanted control. It has required unlearning old habits, confronting unhealthy patterns, and allowing God to rewire the way I think, respond, trust, and hold on. Some battles, by the grace of God, I have overcome. Others...let's just say I am still walking through them day by day.
And that has been one of the most humbling parts of this process, realizing that healing does not always happen overnight. Growth is not always loud. Renewal is not always instant. Sometimes God restores us in layers. Sometimes, He strengthens us slowly. Sometimes the transformation is happening long before we feel changed.
In this season, I am walking out Romans 12:2 in real time - and let me tell you, the struggle has been real.
Held in the Process was created from that very place. Not from having it all figured out. Not from standing on the other side with a perfectly wrapped testimony. But from the middle... from the stretching, the surrendering, the wrestling, the healing, and the quiet moments where God met me again and again.
This blog is for the woman who is still becoming - this is a space for her to breathe. To be reminded. To be strengthened. To find Scripture-rooted prayers, encouragement, and truth for the seasons that stretch, shape, and refine her.
So con mucho amor I say, welcome, Darling... I'm so glad you're here. ♥
What We Believe
We exist to help women perceive what God is doing in the middle of change, grief, healing, surrender, and becoming.
This is a space where faith meets the raw and unfinished parts of real life. A space where honesty is holy, where hope still breathes, and where you do not have to pretend your way through the process. You can bring your questions, your fears, your disappointments, your prayers, and the quiet dreams still tucked deep in your heart, and trust that God is not threatened by any of it.
We believe God is always moving, even when life feels still. Even in the wilderness. Even in the waiting. Even in the breaking. Even in the places that feel silent, hidden, or painfully unfinished. He is not absent there. He is present. He is intentional. And He is still writing beauty into the places we thought were only ash.
We believe in the power of God’s Word, the strength of prayer, and the kind of faith that moves mountains. We believe Scripture is not empty... it is living, anchoring, healing, and true. We believe prayer opens the door for peace, clarity, wisdom, provision, and divine direction. We believe faith gives us the courage to keep walking when we do not yet have the full blueprint in hand.
And we believe God gives clarity, peace, and instruction in His appointed time - never late, never careless, never without purpose. Above all, we believe no season is wasted in the hands of God. Not the grief. Not the stretching. Not the silence. Not the becoming. He uses it all. He speaks through it all. He redeems it all.
And sometimes the miracle is not that the wilderness disappears overnight... it is that God meets us there, keeps us there, transforms us there, and reveals that He was faithful in every single step.
