3 | Garden Journaling as Prayer

“Write down the revelation and make it plain…” — Habakkuk 2:2

In this raw and reflective episode, I invite you into one of the quietest but most powerful spiritual rhythms in the garden: journaling. Not just to track what you’ve planted—but to mark what God is growing in you.

This episode is inspired by Chapter 2 of my ebook, Rooted in Grace. Whether you're a seasoned journal-keeper or someone who’s never written a single garden note, this episode offers gentle encouragement and simple steps to begin.

We’ll explore:

• Why journaling in the garden becomes a form of prayer

• How slowing down to write helps you heal and listen

• Five gentle practices to build a soul-rooted journaling rhythm

• A personal story from my California garden

• A simple worship moment with Come Thou Fount

• A closing journal prompt to carry into your next quiet moment

🎧 Listen & Reflect
You don’t have to capture everything. Just capture something.
Even the smallest note can become a seed of trust.
