Rooted Moment: Grace in Progress
🌾 Episode Summary

In this short, tender Rooted Moment devotional, Sanda invites you to pause and breathe deeply in the “in-between” spaces of your life — the places where hope has been planted but the harvest hasn’t arrived yet.

Through Scripture, reflection, and a fresh story from her garden, she explores what it means to live Grounded in Gratitude while everything is still in progress.

From clearing a small tree to make way for her new pottager garden, to tending ministry soil all weekend long, this episode reminds us of a healing truth:

God is present not just at the finish line, but in every unfinished moment.

He delights in our participation, not our perfection.

This episode is a soft landing, a gentle whisper, and a holy pause for your soul.

🌸 What You’ll Hear
  • A moving reflection on the spiritual meaning of “clearing space”

  • Why progress — not completion — is often where grace does its best work

  • A guided visualization for recognizing God’s presence in your unfinished places

  • Simple garden + soul practices for the week

  • A grounding, hope-filled prayer

  • A warm invitation into the Advent in the Garden devotional journey

    🌿 Key Scriptures
    • Ecclesiastes 3:1 — “There is a time for everything.”

    • Philippians 1:6 — “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.”

      🌾 Garden & Soul Practice

      Garden: Visit a space you recently cleared and thank God for what’s beginning there.

      Soul: Write a short gratitude litany:

      “Thank You for what is planted.

      Thank You for what is growing.
      Thank You for what is still becoming.”
