Gardening Your Way to Growth: A Divorce Recovery Tale

Imagine your life is a garden and your marriage was a tree within it. For years, you tended to the tree, watering it with love and pruning it with care. But despite your efforts, the tree withered and eventually had to be removed—much like when divorce uproots the foundation of what you once thought was forever.

**Planting Seeds After a Storm**

Just like a garden after a storm, your life feels barren, the soil turned, and roots exposed. It’s here that Dr. Reva steps in as a knowledgeable gardener, guiding you to survey the damage with compassion and understanding. She hands you a set of shiny new tools—her six-step process for healing.

**Identifying the Root**

With resolve, you crouch down, digging into the soil of your past, recognizing the remnants of your marriage as the roots beneath the surface. Some are large, entangling with family and personal history, laden with the weight of generational patterns.

**Preparing the Soil**

You extract these roots, feeling the liberation and also the fear of the empty spaces they leave behind. The once-neglected garden—your heart—is now ready for new seeds. Armed with classes, prayer, fasting, and scriptures, Dr. Reva encourages you to carefully select them. They’re not just seeds of any plant but represent transformation and renewal.

**Nurturing the Garden**

As the days pass, the seeds start to sprout. You attentively water them, monitoring each new growth. This stage is delicate; like embracing new habits and thoughts, you must be patient and persistent. Dr. Reva smiles knowingly, teaching the importance of not just tending to the growing plants but also enjoying the process.

**Awaiting the Harvest**

Harvest time isn’t instant. Dr. Reva shares her own story—she hasn’t yet fully reaped what she has sown but recognizes the sprouts as promise. The love, joy, and peace that grow within her are fruits themselves, and they indicate a bountiful harvest on the horizon.

**Growth Beyond Expectations**

Each developing plant in your garden, each fruit of the spirit, becomes an unexpected blessing. They transcend the simple goal of restoring what was lost and lead towards a garden that’s diverse and vibrant in ways you hadn’t anticipated.

**A Joyful Journey**

The analogy concludes as Dr. Reva reminds you that the journey of tending to your garden is ongoing. With tools in hand and a heart ready for change, your garden—once a place of loss—becomes a testament to growth, resilience, and the beauty that exists after the storm
