“Or what person is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf of bread, will give him a stone?”
— Matthew 7:9 NASB1995
🍞 The Nature of God
In a world of broken trust, this verse reminds us that our heavenly Father is trustworthy. As mothers raising older children, this truth is foundational—we must teach them that God is not out to disappoint or trick them.
They may not always get what they ask for, but they can always trust that what God gives is good.
📖 Talk About It:
- Can you think of a time God gave your family something unexpected but good?
- How do we guard our hearts from doubting His goodness?
🧺 Kingdom Practice:
Write down a few things you’ve prayed for as a family. Mark the ones God answered in surprising or better ways.
✍️ Prayer:
Lord, let our family never doubt Your goodness. Even when Your answers look different than our requests, help us see Your love in every provision. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.

● I don’t have a budget for an editor, publisher, or team behind the scenes. Everything you see here is created prayerfully and paid for out of pocket, using the tools I can afford to help present a clear, polished message of truth and hope.
