In the Bible the Garden of Eden represents God’s original plan for our lives, to walk side-by-side with Him, pure & whole. Our spiritual journey with Jesus is a day-to-day sanctification process of being grafted back into the Garden.

“...in simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life.� James 1:21 (MSG)
my journey to en ed Join with us in the days leading up to conference prepping our spiritual gardens for the most growth & nourishment possible during EDEN Girlfriends Conference 2017!
Gardening is work... y o u ’ v e
got to prepare the soil, gather the proper tools and
materials, and continue to tend it in order to maintain and encourage steady and consistent growth. Consider this an EDEN vision board for you to engage with and share with other girlfriends on the same journey! This path isn’t just about us, though, it is about the whole community of fellow plants and flowers — our friends and neighbors. us.
How we tend our garden directly affects those around
Let’s take this moment to prepare our hearts to receive the most nourishment and in turn give
nourishment to others. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life! Let His living water revive our stagnant desires and root out debilitating fears and frustrations.
Follow along the ideas below to prepare yourself
and others for what lies ahead...
Have fun with these! T h e s e
tasks are meant to lead you on a journey of rediscovery
and encouragement and life! They aren’t meant to bring discouragement or guilt. Have fun! Get down
in the dirt and play... be creative! Even if you think you aren’t! We are all creations of the most high creative God. Play is a huge part of life and we are meant to take pleasure living in God’s creation that He made just for us!
Follow these tasks day-by-day or skip around. Do you have a favorite? Do it over and over again.
