Welcome, what a blessing it is to have you here.
Beloved Sister,
You were Created for a Purpose.
For A Time Such As This.
Wherever you are on your journey with the Lord, I have Faith that God has brought you here for a Divine Purpose.
Personal Journey
The Hard Part is Waiting on Him...
The journey of surrender, letting God take the Lead and form us in His/Their image, to allow the Divine timing to unfold without getting in the way.
That has been one of the biggest struggles for me, my tendency is to want take control and make things happen. But I have learned when I let Him lead, more is possible than I could ever imagine, and this journey has all led here.
Allowing the Divine Light to Shine through us, we were born for this...
'In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven' Mathew 5:16
To allow God's light to flow through us is not always easy, when the darkness wants to overcome and take us out. The Light comes after the darkest part of the night... and that is where Faith steps in. To believe something that is opposite of what it 'looks like' is the true call of faith.
Hebrews 11:1 'Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen' ESV...'Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see' NIV.
ASSURANCE, CONFIDENCE and CONVICTION of things not seen but hoped for.
So even though it may not feel like you have God's light to shine, stand in Faith Beloved Sister. I am here to remind you that you are.
Transformation is possible, I know from experience...
Transformation is possible, like a caterpillar to a butterfly, and the messy space in between. We can transform quickly but it can also come at a cost if we are not present and careful.
I have gone from depressed, angry, sick and tired of constantly feeling sick and tired, to doing an 8 week body transformation challenge, feeling amazing and winning! But then the addiction of more and 'better' idolizing my body came at a price. The obsession over calories and reps took its toll into another kind of exhaustion.
That is the birth story of The Nourishing Garden, there is a middle path your uncompromising True Self, made in the image of God.
We are Created to CREATE!
Look at the way God is so creative, the beauty of the colours, the textures and the delicate design of these glorious flowers. The beauty of His unique creation is everywhere, especially IN you!
I have created this Nourishing Garden Journey to help you connect to that creative impulse in your heart, it is there even though you may not feel it. God has Created you to Create, the hard part is setting time aside and surrendering to the Holy Spirit.

What if I don't have a printer?
You do not need to print this guide if you do not want to. You can take the file to Staples or any other place that does printing, I live on a small island in the Pacific Northwest of Canada, our Pharmacy does printing. Maybe even if you have a friend doing it with you she could print it for you if she has a printer.
What if I feel I cannot connect to God?
God is with us always, and is in us. If you take the time to be silent with Him and don't feel like you can connect, persevere. The more you come to Him the more He will be present with you. Listen closely and start noticing the nudges inside that feel like a small quiet voice reaching towards you. Maybe a scripture with come in your mind or if you have a journal and a pen you may feel the inspiration to write some words down. I find I just start writing what I think He is saying and I am always surprised at what comes.
If you feel really lost, start with reading and meditating on your favourite scripture, allowing God and the Holy Spirit to give you a revelation of His word.
What if I don't have time everyday?
Take time when you can. Even Sunday night, look at your schedule for the week and see if there are any pockets of time that you may be able to add small chunks of time, like a non negotiable appointment with yourself? You would never cancel a doctors appointment, so see these as little Pauses of Sacred Nourishments for your health and wellness.
What if I don't want to share my creativity with anyone?
This time is between you and God, for you to feel the spark of creativity He has placed within you. There is never pressure to share.
What if I do want to share my creativity?
I would absolutely love to see and hear what you have discovered about yourself and your creativity. Please feel free to email me at [email protected], or share on any social media, tagging me so I can connect with you!
