What Fruitfulness Taught Me This Year
At the start of the year, I imagined fruitfulness would look like fast growth and forward motion. But God had something quieter and deeper in mind. In this final post of the year, I reflect on the ways He’s shaped my heart, refined my trust, and grown fruit I couldn’t always see. If your year didn’t go the way you planned either, I hope you’ll find encouragement here.
