In Her Own Words
“I’ve always believed that God speaks to us in the everyday moments of life. Gardening has been one of those moments for me—a quiet, sacred space where I’ve learned some of the most profound lessons about faith, patience, and growth. I hope this book encourages others to find God’s voice in their own lives, wherever that may be.”
