Bloom Where You are Planted Aug 06, 2024

Show notes

Life is not one big story, but instead a compilation of seasons God uses to grow and refine us. When a season isn’t our favorite, it’s tempting to try and rush through the season we are in instead of allowing God to grow us and use our God-given gifts to bloom where we’re planted.

2. What happens when we move from one season to the next
3.The best ways to bloom where you’re planted

Mind Renewal Tip:
All seasons have purpose. One isn’t better than another. Although one may be more fun than another. And the beauty of God at work in us is not rushing from one season to the next, but allowing God to give us the strength and wisdom to bloom where we are standing.

Scriptural Renewal Tip:
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance… Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
