A Life In Season

Hey y'all, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge Podcast. Today's episode is a tender one. It's about fully living in the season you're in even when that season is uncomfortable, uncertain, or deeply painful. I'm sharing honestly about the past year our family has walked through: fertility treatments, hope, loss, surrender, and the quiet work of trusting the Lord with desires I cannot carry on my own. I talk about what it's been like to hold an open heart as my older children step into young adulthood, and how grief and longing have sharpened my awareness of what is right in front of me. This episode isn't about escaping hard seasons or rushing toward what comes next. It's about presence. About resisting the pull to live in the past or anxiously project ourselves into the future. About the truth that not everything that feels uncomfortable is bad and that being fully present may be the greatest gift available to us right now. I share reflections on living seasonally not just in the garden or the kitchen, but in the soul. I  call it combing out the tangles of the heart and trusting God's steady presence in the midst of it all. If you've been navigating a season of waiting, loss, transition, or quiet surrender, I hope this episode feels like a chair pulled up beside you. You can also continue this conversation with me over on my new Substack, A Life In Season, where I'm writing more deeply about living present and faithful in every chapter of life. In this episode I also referenced a past episode with my friend Regan. You can hear that podcast here.  Thanks for being here, and for walking alongside me in every season.  If you've found value in this project, consider supporting the podcast on Patreon, where you can listen early and join our monthly Q&A.
