When Storms Come to Your Garden: Finding Peace in Life's Challenges
Hi there, garden friends. Jennifer here with a bit of encouragement for when the skies of life turn gray.
Last week, we talked about tending to the new growth in your spiritual garden through simple daily practices. But what happens when storms roll in unexpectedly, threatening to uproot all that tender progress?
Glimpses into Creative Healing: Where Art Meets Heart
Sometimes healing doesn't look like we expect. Sometimes it looks like spilled paint, torn paper, and colors that won't stay inside the lines.
A Peek Into the Process
I remember the first time I let myself create without rules. Sitting with my watercolors, tears mixing with paint, I watched as God turned my mess into something meaningful. It wasn't about the art - it was about the heart.
