00:00:01.297 --> 00:00:07.997
Welcome back, my valued listeners, to another episode of Living in Your Power.
00:00:08.297 --> 00:00:14.037
I'm your host, Dr. Marlene Greenleaf, and we've arrived at week four of our
00:00:14.037 --> 00:00:21.797
April series, Awaken Your Purpose, Planting Seeds for Intentional Living.
00:00:22.777 --> 00:00:26.997
I want to apologize for my voice. It's a bit raspy.
00:00:27.877 --> 00:00:30.997
Pollen got the better of me over the weekend. I was outdoors,
00:00:30.997 --> 00:00:36.417
enjoyed the beautiful weather, even though it was a bit breezy.
00:00:36.897 --> 00:00:39.317
But nevertheless, pollen got
00:00:39.317 --> 00:00:45.277
me, so I have a raspy voice. But I do want to continue with this episode.
00:00:45.577 --> 00:00:47.377
So, here we are.
00:00:48.237 --> 00:00:51.897
Now so far this month we've cleared
00:00:51.897 --> 00:01:00.177
the weeds turned the soil and planted new seeds and now we've come to the next
00:01:00.177 --> 00:01:02.757
vital part of this growth journey
00:01:02.757 --> 00:01:08.957
which is nurturing the growth staying committed to what you've planted,
00:01:10.137 --> 00:01:17.517
because it's one thing to plant seeds, it's another to be patient enough faithful
00:01:17.517 --> 00:01:21.557
enough, and intentional enough to water them daily.
00:01:23.157 --> 00:01:30.037
Now let's talk about what it really means to stay the course even when the results aren't immediate.
00:01:32.177 --> 00:01:40.677
Now, growth takes time, and we live in a culture that glorifies quick wins and instant results.
00:01:41.017 --> 00:01:45.477
But the truth is, growth takes time.
00:01:45.877 --> 00:01:51.297
You don't see the fruit overnight, and you don't see the harvest the moment you plant.
00:01:52.397 --> 00:01:56.637
Whether you've planted new habits, a business idea, healing work,
00:01:56.677 --> 00:02:05.517
or personal development goals, There will be quiet seasons, dry seasons, slow seasons.
00:02:06.177 --> 00:02:10.197
But don't let silence make you think nothing is happening.
00:02:11.417 --> 00:02:17.677
Roots grow in the dark, and transformation happens beneath the surface.
00:02:18.677 --> 00:02:24.337
And if you keep nurturing what you've planted with faith, consistency,
00:02:24.657 --> 00:02:26.817
and care, growth will come.
00:02:28.697 --> 00:02:32.737
So what does nurturing the grunt looks like for you?
00:02:33.577 --> 00:02:40.377
It's not always flashy or Instagram-worthy. I mean, sometimes it's saying no
00:02:40.377 --> 00:02:48.377
to distractions or choosing prayer over panic, drinking water, journaling, resting,
00:02:48.937 --> 00:02:51.677
or showing up even when you're tired.
00:02:51.677 --> 00:03:01.577
It's small acts of discipline and devotion that keeps your soil fertile.
00:03:02.517 --> 00:03:08.197
Your calling, your dream, your healing, it's not a one-time thing.
00:03:08.917 --> 00:03:12.877
It's a daily decision to keep showing up for it.
00:03:15.514 --> 00:03:21.634
Now God doesn't rush the process. He honors faithful consistency.
00:03:22.454 --> 00:03:29.394
Every time you pray, every time you choose integrity, every time you realign
00:03:29.394 --> 00:03:34.934
with your values, you are nurturing the garden of your life.
00:03:35.934 --> 00:03:39.474
And here's the key. You don't have to do it perfectly.
00:03:40.694 --> 00:03:46.754
Just faithfully. Keep showing up. Keep watering the vision.
00:03:47.394 --> 00:03:53.834
Keep believing in the seed. Even when it's quiet. Even when no one else sees it.
00:03:56.554 --> 00:03:59.814
So here's your final April challenge.
00:04:01.374 --> 00:04:07.274
I want you to choose one seed you planted this month, whether it's a new habit,
00:04:07.554 --> 00:04:10.234
a mindset shift or a project.
00:04:12.014 --> 00:04:16.394
Create a daily or weekly plan to water it.
00:04:18.314 --> 00:04:25.414
Keep a simple log or journal entry of how you're showing up for your growth.
00:04:25.414 --> 00:04:30.734
And remember, progress, not perfection.
00:04:31.194 --> 00:04:37.954
I'm going to say that again. Remember, it's progress, not perfection.
00:04:38.174 --> 00:04:41.314
Because you're nurturing something powerful.
00:04:42.854 --> 00:04:50.234
So as we close this month's journey, I want you to remember that you are the soil.
00:04:50.774 --> 00:04:55.434
You are the seed. you are
00:04:55.434 --> 00:04:58.894

00:04:58.894 --> 00:05:02.494
inside you to grow to heal and
00:05:02.494 --> 00:05:06.694

00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:29.840
Music.
