Carol Feil wants you to see our faithful God, the Master Gardener, in all details of your life. She wants you to know that being rooted in His unchanging character helps you dig deep into His word, cultivating growth even in seasons of dormancy.

Carol wears yellow boots in the garden and calls them her "listen and learn boots", paying close attention to what God's teaching her about Himself and who He wants her to be. Carol admits she struggles with imposter syndrome but continues to walk forward in her legacy of faith footprints—boot-sized!—and praying that whoever she meets will follow alongside.

Some gems from Carol:

Knowing God's will is more about the little things he leads us to be and do.
"Shoulding" messages in our heads are lies that play on-repeat and need to be countered with truth.
Roses grow best when pruned. So do I.
We need to be patient with the process of replenishment.
What thoughts need reframing? Pay attention and do the work of replacing.
In the absense of truth, Satan will fill in the blanks with his lies.

Join Carol on the journey to developing deeper roots and stronger shoots:

When asked, “What’s the greatest commandment?” Jesus replied simply: “Love God, love your neighbor.” I imagine He was thinking, “It’s not rocket science” or “What’s not to like?” or “It’s not complicated.”

He was right, it’s not complicated. But people are people and we make it complicated.

I need to pray daily to uncomplicate what He says is best for me and best for others. So I wrote “31 Days of Uncomplicated Prayers,” and once I pray them through, I start over again.

You can too. One short, simple prayer to help uncomplicate love sent to your inbox for 31 days. Don't worry. They are short. God doesn't mind short prayers.
