Welcome to Rooted in Grace!🌱

Tend your soul like a garden—slowly, faithfully, with grace.

Welcome to Rooted in Grace, a quiet corner of the web where faith and the garden meet.

Here, I believe that the same patience, hope, and tending that grow tomatoes and basil can also grow peace, joy, and trust in God’s timing.

This is where I share the deeper side of my gardening journey—the part that isn’t just about what’s sprouting in the soil, but what’s growing in the soul. Through reflection, devotion, and gentle rhythms, we learn to live and grow rooted in grace.

You’ll find encouragement for your spiritual seasons, stories from my own garden walk, and practical ways to weave sacred intention into the everyday—whether you’re watering seedlings, managing overwhelm, or waiting on a new beginning.

🌾 The Heart Behind Rooted in Grace

Hi, I’m Sanda—a lifelong gardener, educator, and believer that God’s grace meets us right where we are, often with dirt under our nails.

I grew up watching my parents work the soil for a living and spent years chasing perfect gardens before realizing that what I truly needed wasn’t a greener thumb—it was a softer heart. Gardening became my prayer, my peace, and my teacher.

Now I help other women rediscover that same gentle growth—through seasons of abundance and seasons of rest, through both the soil and the soul.

This space is for every woman who’s ever felt tired, hopeful, or somewhere in between.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to be willing to grow.

MY APPROACH

✨ Start Here: The G.R.A.C.E. Framework

At the heart of Rooted in Grace is a simple rhythm for spiritual and seasonal growth—one that mirrors the way creation itself unfolds.

🌱 G — Ground Yourself in God’s Presence

Start where you are. Slow down. Notice the sacred in the small.
This is where spiritual growth begins—in the soil of surrender and stillness.

🌷 R — Receive What’s Been Planted

Welcome what God is already growing in your life.
Even the unseen roots matter. Growth often begins long before it’s visible.

🌤️ A — Abide Through Every Season

There will be droughts and floods, blooms and pruning.
Stay faithful through them all, trusting that His timing is good.

🌾 C — Cultivate with Care

Tend your heart, your habits, your home.
Grace doesn’t rush—it waters, weeds, and nourishes with love.

🍇 E — Embrace the Harvest

Celebrate what’s grown—both seen and unseen.
Your fruit isn’t measured in perfection, but in peace.
