An Imperfect Mess Living for The Lord!

Remember the Magnolia Tree_ Episode 13

The other day, my granddaughter asked me about a tree she hadn’t seen bloom yet… and it stirred something deep in my spirit.
Sometimes we look at people, situations, and even our prayers and begin to wonder…“Why hasn’t anything changed yet?”“Why hasn’t this bloomed?”
But just because something hasn’t bloomed… doesn’t mean it’s not alive.
In this episode, I share a simple but powerful reminder: God works in seasons. What we don’t see on the surface doesn’t mean nothing is happening beneath it.
If you’ve been waiting—on change, on growth, on an answer—this message is for you.
🌿 Don’t mistake a season of waiting for a lack of movement. God is still working.
📖 Scriptures
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)
Galatians 6:9 (KJV)
🙏 Closing Thought
Stay faithful in the season you’re in. What God has planted… will bloom in His time.

Episode 10 – The Turn of the Tide

There are moments in life when everything feels like it is crashing against us — when the storms seem endless and the waves refuse to settle. In those seasons it can feel like we are barely surviving.
But sometimes what feels like breaking is actually the moment when God is revealing the work He has already done in us.
In this episode, Charlotte shares a powerful personal testimony about walking through a season of testing, hardship, and spiritual battle. What once looked like overwhelming circumstances became a moment of realization: God had already done a deeper work in her heart. The tide had already begun to turn.
Just like in the story of Job, there are times when God allows the testing not to destroy us, but to reveal that we are no longer the same person we used to be.
This episode is a reminder that storms do not always mean defeat. Sometimes they reveal the strength God has been building in us all along.

n this episode, I speak directly to the one who feels like their past still defines them.
For a long time, I carried the weight of who I used to be—until I realized something powerful:People may remember your past, but God is working in your present.
Growth doesn’t always look loud.Healing doesn’t always happen overnight.But when your foundation is rooted in Christ, peace comes—not because life is easier, but because your faith is stronger.
This episode is a reminder that:
You are not who you used to be
God is still working on you
And your past does not cancel your calling
If all someone has is your past… then they don’t truly know who you are today.
