Chapter 3: The Courage to Bloom in the Hard Places.

The walk today was cold, windy, and honestly... it felt like winter was winning. But it reminded me of Esther. She didn't have a roadmap to the throne; she only had her faith to guide her through a long, difficult season of preparation.

If your life feels "brown" and "hard" right now, remember: you aren't stuck, you are being positioned. Esther didn't know the victory was coming while she was in the middle of the struggle. She just stayed steady. She kept walking. She let her faith be her compass when she couldn't see the plan.

Your current struggle isn't a sign that you're lost; it's the sign that your roots are being tested for a greater weight. Have the courage to trust the process. For such a time as this, the walk continues...

Ending this beautiful launch day with a bowl of something warm. 🥣 @
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and today it feels especially full. Simple ingredients, a quiet house, and a heart at peace. This is the restorative life I've been talking about.
Thank you for all the love on Chapter 1 & 2 today. The walk continues... one warm bowl at a time.

Chapter 2: Steady Grace ❄️🌱

The snow from yesterday has already melted, but the peace it brought stayed with me. A reminder that even when the path feels cold or uncertain, there is a steady grace for every single step.

You aren’t just being kept. You are being prepared for a purpose you can’t see yet. Trust the timing. Trust the Light. For such a time as this, the walk continues. 🤍

Chapter 1: The Quiet Preparation🌅

l've been reflecting on the story of Esther lately-about how a heart is prepared in the quiet, long before the purpose is revealed. There is so much peace in the waiting when you know Who is holding the map.

In the garden, the most important work happens when things look still on the surface. My life is in a similar season right now—a time of being refined, being made ready, and learning to walk in a new kind of spiritual awakeness.

I'm so glad you're here for the journey. For such a time as this, the walk continues. 🤍

Spending my Easter Monday in the garden today! 🌸 What is everyone else working on in their garden this week?"

I have been buying natural soaps for years.

I have always wanted to learn how to make my own natural bar soaps. I find the winter can drag a bit, so it is always a good time to learn a new skill.

So, I joined a beginner soap making class. I am so glad I did! What a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

It was very informative, interesting, fun and creative.

I definitely will be going to more classes.
There is a lot to learn. But with everything in life, you just start and build from there!
soap.life Rebecca is the owner of Art Soap Life. The classes she offers are intimate, which as a beginner to this new craft, I found it extremely helpful. She had more than enough time to answer all the various questions from her students. Rebecca was extremely knowledgeable and just a fantastic instructor.

If you are not into learning this craft, and you would like to check out some of her natural products. .soap.life or you can get a hold of her soaps at
Vita Health.

Art Soap Life does have an online store where everything is handmade in small batches. They sell, of course, all sorts of beautiful soaps, and a skincare line, along with a few other useful products. The products are only made using organic oils and butters and they are infused with botanicals. There is no artificial dyes, parabens, fragrances or detergents in her products. I love supporting small local businesses.

How fun it is, to learn the craft of making your own soaps for your family and as gifts.
