Welcome!

Hey! I don't know exactly what made you drop by, but whether it was intentional or accidentally, I hope you stay for a while.

What is SBF (Sprout.Bloom.Flourish.)?

I'm learning that as women we must learn to adapt and navigate through all of the different seasons life throws at us. Sometimes seasons overlap, but you grow and process in some areas better than others. It's life; and there is grace for you to be strong and grace for the moments you are weak.

Sprout Bloom Flourish is my life's perspective on finding the beautiful balance in cultivating all of life's seasons. Anyone with a green thumb (and even those without) understand that different plants bloom better with different seasons. Sometimes their are seasons where some plants die so others can bloom. Our lives are the same way. You may have beautiful, big, passionate, God-given dreams, ideas, and plans and find yourself totally frustrated all the time. It's okay, it might not be the proper season. That doesn't mean you can't cultivate the ground and prep yourself for all God has for you.

So my hope and prayer is that when you drop by you feel, refreshed and challenged. That you can laugh and cry if need be. That I'm not just some girl behind a computer screen but someone you can relate to. And that you actually enjoy coming by!

So whether you are trying to Sprout- where you find it challenging to find you're breaking ground. Where things, and sometimes even life, are just hard. Because sometimes the reality is that we walk through spiritual droughts where we are just exhausted. Some day it can be an uphill battle just to find solid ground to dig your roots into. While you are in the process of sprouting it's hard to stay grounded. Even the smallest thing seem like a large task. That's the reality of it; but hey, that's life! You'll find break through and a peace that surpasses all your understanding. Your garden is so very important!

Or Bloom- where you're starting to itch just to explode out of the sweet comfort zone you have suddenly begun to out grow. With growth comes outside (or sometimes even internal) pressure to feel as if you have to bloom in a certain time and way. You are put under inspection, some positive and some negative. But you should not worry about a lawyer's opionion of a flower bed, but do be open to a gardener's pruning. The lawyer expects flowers to grow, doesn't care how it happens, as long as it does. A gardener expects growth but understands that things take time, some buds bloom late. But most of all, how to tend to and nurture a growing flower. Don't loathe this season. It's where the magic is all beginning to happen. And your garden is so very important.

Maybe you're in the season where you can finally Flourish and enjoy the beauty of life, all your dreams coming true, and learning to walk out your calling. Yet you're learning that your dream garden takes serious maintence. Flowers don't only grow when tended to, they also thrive. Sometimes we think our dreams coming true is the end of it. Yet it is only the beginning. Different flowers are more of a struggle to keep alive in different seasons. That is life. And here's to learning how to balance it all with a beautiful grace (that sometimes more than others seems anything but graceful.) Your garden is so very important.

So no matter which season you're in (or maybe you're in all three like me) please grab a hot tea (if you're a cozy night owl) or a fresh cup of coffee (if you're a bright eyed early bird) and just relax for a while. Let's grow together!
