This reminds me of our new song we are getting ready to release called "God's Creation". The beginning of the Chorus starts out "conception is the exception for a lifetime of affection...the beauty of a child is God's creativity running wild..."
My wordsmith husband gets all the credit for that!

Every year we plant a vegetable garden, and every year I act shocked when it requires actual effort.

Gardening has taught me one very rude but necessary lesson: the day you plant the seed is NOT the day you eat the fruit.

First comes preparing the ground. Then planting. Then watering, weeding, fertilizing, Googling “why are my leaves yellow,” and questioning all your life choices.

But the hardest part? The waiting. Corn takes 70–100 days. Tomatoes take 40–50. That’s a long time to keep showing up when there’s nothing to show for it yet.

And in a world addicted to instant gratification, most folks don’t have the stamina for that anymore.

We want the harvest without the sweat. The blessing without the boring. The fruit without the faithfulness.

But here’s the truth nobody likes: you can’t rush things that need time to grow.

That goes for sweet potatoes…
your job…
your friendships…
your fitness…
and especially your marriage.

And if you think those things don’t require work, bless your heart! You’re delusional.

My marriage is the best it’s ever been, but let me be clear. I’m working it like a full-time job. Day shift. Night shift. Weekends included.

I’m planting, watering, and pulling weeds daily because I know what consistent work produces over time. It helps that I married a landscaper. Pruning negativity is literally his spiritual gift.

But here’s the mic drop, friends: If you want greener grass or sweeter fruit, you don’t quit when it gets hard.

You dig deeper. 🌱

Today’s goal: stay dedicated. Growth doesn’t happen overnight, but it does happen for those who keep showing up.

“The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.” Isaiah 58:11
