59 | Before the Lavender Blooms
Episode Title: Before the Lavender Blooms
When Life Feels Unfinished
Have you ever felt like life is moving faster than your soul can keep up?
In this episode, I’m sharing a story from our unfinished patio project. As we worked on the patio, sparrows kept landing on the stones before anything looked finished or beautiful.
Around the same time, our hummingbirds disappeared for a few days after all the noise around the house. Then the lavender plants I hoped to plant around the patio arrived fragile from the summer heat.
A Reminder From Luke 12
All of it reminded me of Luke 12:6-7, where Jesus tells us that God does not forget even one sparrow.
Sometimes God meets us before the lavender blooms. Before the project feels complete, the disappointment resolves, and everything feels settled.
If you feel tired, stretched thin, or waiting for something fragile to live, I pray this episode reminds you that God sees you right where you are.

A Reminder For Your Heart
God sees the place before it looks beautiful.
He sees the work before you finish it.
He sees the garden before it blooms.
And He sees you before everything feels settled again.

If you know a woman who feels tired, stretched thin, or carrying more than people can see, my lavender gift boxes offer a simple way to remind her: you are seen, remembered, and not forgotten.
