Rooted Moment: Grace in Progress 🌾 Episode Summary In this short, tender Rooted Moment devotional, Sanda invites you to pause and breathe deeply in the “in-between” spaces of your life — the places where hope has been planted but the harvest hasn’t arrived yet. Through Scripture, reflection, and a fresh story from her garden, she explores what it means to live Grounded in Gratitude while everything is still in progress.From clearing a small tree to make way for her new pottager garden, to tending ministry soil all weekend long, this episode reminds us of a healing truth: God is present not just at the finish line, but in every unfinished moment.He delights in our participation, not our perfection.
