Garden of Lent series Ep3 - Watering and Waiting (with Sr. Rita D'Souza)
About the episode

In Episode 3 of The Garden of Lent, Sr. Rita and me reflect on two sacred movements of spiritual growth: watering and waiting.

Drawing from Scripture and lived experience, we explore how the Holy Spirit nourishes us quietly, precisely, and lovingly — even in dry, delayed, or painful seasons. This episode speaks directly to women who feel weary, forgotten, or impatient with the pace of their own growth.

In this episode, we reflect on:

  • The Holy Spirit as living water
  • Why waiting is never wasted in God’s economy
  • Trusting God’s timing when growth feels hidden
  • Dryness, suffering, and holy delays
  • Becoming a well-watered garden in God’s time

If you are waiting for healing, clarity, restoration, or fruit — this conversation is for you.

UnCOVER
  1. Where do I feel spiritually dry right now?
  2. Where has comparison distorted my trust in God’s timing for my life?
  3. What fears or doubts surface in me when I am asked to wait?
UnLEASH
  1. How might God be strengthening unseen roots in this hidden season?
  2. What would it look like to water my soul daily, even when I see no immediate growth?
  3. Where is God inviting me to trust His process instead of rushing toward visible results?
