Faithfulness in the Garden: Slow Living With GOD

Published on June 18, 2026June 18, 2026 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

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.

Sowing Seeds of FAITH: A lesson in PATIENCE

Today during my Bible Study I read Philippians 1:6

‘Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.’

We must always remember that the ONE who started HIS work in us is committed to finishing it!

No matter what path we are on, it is a path that has been created by our FAITH and our choices. Sometimes we might feel stuck, or feel like things are not progressing fast enough. We have to remember to have PATIENCE because there are unseen forces at work… just like a newly planted seed doesn’t show growth right away. The roots usually start developing below the surface as they are needed to support and sustain the plant as it grows.

The same is happening in your life. Your support system is being created to help you reach your maximum potential. Remember that you have not been abandoned or forgotten… be comforted in knowing that GOD has a plan for you and HE has promised to see it through!

If you are feeling a little impatient, take a moment to look back on how far you have come. Remember that your journey is unique and important. Keep trusting in GOD’s plan and HIS timing!

I pray that this has blessed someone like it blessed me.

May GOD Bless You!

Choose PEACE

Published on January 30, 2026January 14, 2026 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

As we wrap up this month long journey of focusing on PEACE, I want to remind you that PEACE is a choice.

A choice to trust GOD and HIS promises. A choice to believe that HE loves us and HE has a plan for us.

By making the choice to hand our lives over to HIM we will find PEACE.

What are you waiting for? Start trusting in HIM and living in PEACE.

Take a moment to close your eyes, take a deep breath, and reflect on all that GOD has done for you.

Now ask yourself what HE is telling you to do… maybe you’ve been ignoring something you’ve been called to do.

You aren’t stuck unless you stop… GOD will nudge you into the way you should go. One step at a time and you will find that PEACE that your soul is craving.

Step out in FAITH and TRUST that HE will meet you where you are right now.

GOD BLESS!

Finding Peace Amidst the Noise

There are so many things I could write about, as we have been focusing on PEACE this month in our home. I have noticed ways that we can eliminate things to bring PEACE, and other things that need to be changed. We have had several appointments this month, and something that has struck me is how LOUD this world is.
