Do you ever find yourself struggling with patience? Waiting can feel so hard, especially when you’re hoping for something to change or move forward. I have a powerful reminder in nature to share with you. When bamboo is planted, nothing seems to happen for the first four years. But beneath the surface, something incredible is taking place. The bamboo is establishing a deep, expansive network of roots, building a strong foundation and storing energy for what’s to come. Then in the fifth year, it can grow up to 90 feet in just six weeks. Isn’t that amazing?
That “waiting” season isn’t wasted. The waiting season is where the real growth is happening. And the same is true in your life and business. In the seasons where it feels like nothing is moving forward, something is being built deep within you: strength, resilience, wisdom, and preparation for what’s ahead. Whether you’re standing in a long line at the grocery store, sitting in traffic, or waiting on a breakthrough in your personal life or business, those moments can stir up frustration. But what if this season is actually your root system being formed?
As you wait, try to keep a positive, happy attitude. Trust that growth is still happening, even if you can’t see it yet. As Joyce Meyer says, “Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.” Click below to watch and learn more.
Have you ever wished you could just pick up the phone and call someone when life feels overwhelming? Guess what? You can! In this week’s Horses & Hope devotion, I have a powerful reminder that God is always available, listening, and only a prayer away. When you’re feeling anxious, stuck, or searching for answers, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Talking to God doesn’t have to be complicated or perfect. You can do it anytime, anywhere. Here’s your invitation to pause, breathe, and remember that you always have a direct line to peace, comfort, and guidance.
The sun is shining. Flowers are popping. Blossoms are blooming. Spring is here. It’s the perfect time for you to spring clean your life. Each box below represents a category in your life that could use a little more focus. Brainstorm what tasks you need to get done in each category to help lighten your load and lighten your life to feel happier and healthier with more of a bounce in your step as we go into this next season.
The key to this printable is to take things one task at a time so things don’t feel so overwhelming.
As spring arrives and flowers begin to bloom, it’s a gentle reminder for you to do the same. In this week’s video, learn what it means to bloom where you’re planted.
You also have permission to recognize when it might be time to plant yourself somewhere new. You’re not a tree, you’re allowed to grow, change, and step into spaces that bring you life. If you’ve been feeling stuck, this is your invitation to reflect, step outside your comfort zone, and add more color and joy back into your life. Sometimes it starts with something as simple as asking: Is this where I’m meant to grow?
