Reposted from @wellwateredwomen "In our quest for a fruitful life, it’s important to remember that blooms aren’t continuous. They come and go, but that doesn’t mean the moments in between are unnecessary or less important. Blooms result from the faithful labor done in the planting, the rooting, the growing, and the waiting. You can’t enjoy a flower without the long process that brought it to that point. In my own life, I struggle to embrace the inside-out process of Christ-centered growth. It’s easy to neglect the importance of the planting, the rooting, the growing, and the waiting. But the well-watered life isn’t just one that blooms; it’s one that’s always growing. We strive to give glory to God at each stage, and we trust him with the harvest. Blooming will certainly come, but don’t miss the joy and beauty of growing. 🌿 The decisions you make today affect where you end up tomorrow. 🌿 What you think about right now will impact who you will become. 🌿 How you spend your time will determine the direction of your days. The little moments matter more than we give them credit for. Instead of focusing on the blooming, let’s strive to be faithful in the growing. And let’s leave the rest in the hands of the Gardener." -Gretchen (@gretchensaffles), Founder, in "The Well-Watered Woman" ▶️ Find signed book copies available in the @wellwateredco! #wellwateredwomen #thewwwbook #flourishinginFAITH https://www.instagram.com/p/CaAEM14pIUK/?utm_medium=tumblr
