Faithfulness in the Garden: Slow Living With GOD

In today’s garden reflection, I’m sharing what the Lord has been teaching me about faithfulness through the simple rhythms of tending a garden.

Gardening reminds us that growth takes time. Seeds are planted long before they’re seen, and harvest comes only after seasons of patient care. In the same way, God calls us to remain faithful in the small things, trusting Him even when we can’t yet see what He’s doing beneath the surface.

Whether you’re in a season of planting, tending, waiting, or harvesting, I pray this post encourages you to trust God’s timing and rest in His unfailing faithfulness.

Down Syndrome shouldn’t be a death sentence

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

I debated on whether to write this post or not, but as many of you know we have been blessed with two special needs kiddos in our home.

Our oldest was adopted and our youngest was a surprise baby… in so many ways. I never entertained the idea of abortion for any of my pregnancies and never would, but that’s me.

Biblical Feasts: Feast of the Trumpets Menu & Activities

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

If you’ve been around here for a bit, then you probably know that we have been on a journey to learn more about the Biblical Feasts. Well, the Feast of the Trumpets is almost upon us, and I decided that being prepared makes it more likely that I can follow through with the intentions of celebrating this year.

We plan to try to incorporate some traditional dishes, and we plan to eat by candlelight whenever possible. Please note that I am not an expert, and most of these ideas are just ideas that I have, and I can not say that they are traditional or ‘allowed’ for a traditional Jewish celebration.

Wine or Grape Juice is normally served with meals as well, although we will probably opt for sparkling juice, apple cider, or juice.

You can change whatever recipes you need to make this work for you… you can even buy premade foods and make this work. The idea is to celebrate your BLESSINGS and show THANKFULNESS to GOD.

I am hoping to make a new devotional for each month this year… that’s a big challenge, but it is something that has been on my heart. For JUNE, our monthly theme will be FAITHFULNESS. We will be trying to find ways to show a little more FAITHFULNESS through routines and habits.

Here is the FREE printable, if you’d like to join us:
