Rooted + Rested - Embracing Peace And Rest Through Faith And Self-Care...and a touch of Lavender

Have you ever reached a point where you didn't know what to do next?

Maybe you're facing uncertainty. Maybe you're carrying disappointment. Maybe you're waiting for answers that haven't come.

This spring, I found myself in a season where I felt overwhelmed by loss, questions, and the temptation to quit. But in the middle of it all, I sensed the Lord speaking four simple words to my heart:

Do the next best thing.

In this episode of Rooted + Rested, I'm sharing a personal story about faith, obedience, and learning to trust God one step at a time when the future feels uncertain.

If you've been waiting for clarity before moving forward, I hope this episode encourages you to take the next faithful step and trust God with the rest.

Reminding women they are not forgotten—remembered by God, rooted in Him...and a touch of lavender. 💜

Welcome Home:

Sometimes the most meaningful reminders of God's presence come in the most ordinary moments.

After returning home from a much-needed vacation, I found myself overwhelmed with gratitude. What began as a simple homecoming became a beautiful reminder of God's goodness, faithfulness, and care.

In this episode of Rooted + Rested, I'm sharing a personal story about noticing God's blessings, finding joy in the everyday, and learning to recognize the gentle ways He reminds us that we are seen, remembered, and loved.

If you've been feeling weary, distracted, or simply longing to notice God more in your daily life, I hope this episode encourages you to slow down, look around, and discover that His presence may be closer than you think.

Reminding women they are not forgotten—remembered by God, rooted in Him...and a touch of lavender. 💜

Have you ever wondered if God sees your waiting… your hurting… or the things you carry quietly?

In this deeply personal episode of Rooted + Rested, I’m sharing about a hard spring filled with loss in the lavender field, injury, uncertainty, and honest questions before God. What began as a season of pruning unexpectedly became a lesson about being remembered—not forgotten—by God.

After removing around 75 lavender plants, facing difficult decisions, and questioning who God has called me to serve, Isaiah 49:14–16 came to mind:

“I will not forget you… I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands.”

Those verses touched me differently this time.

And what I’m realizing is this:

Recognizing that I am remembered by God has given me the possibility of rest—something I hadn’t been feeling was possible.

In this episode we talk about:

💜 Hard seasons, pruning, and unexpected loss

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, unseen, or exhausted… I hope this episode reminds you:

You are remembered.

Sometimes trusting God is hardest…

not with our own lives…

but with the people we love.

The child we worry about.

The spouse carrying something heavy.

The friend in a difficult season.

The parent struggling.

The person we pray for over and over again.

In this episode of Rooted + Rested, we’re talking about what it means to release control, surrender outcomes, and trust God with those who weigh heavily on our hearts.

Together we reflect on:

💜 trusting God with the people you love

This episode includes Scripture reflections from:

• 1 Peter 5:7 — “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

You’ll also hear a gentle lavender reflection on tending faithfully without carrying every outcome — something God has been teaching me through difficult seasons in the lavender field.

This week’s reminder:

💜 You were never meant to carry everyone.
