“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
🪨 Trading Rocks for Bread
Sometimes we feel like God is silent or gives us something we didn’t want. But Jesus says He’s not cruel—He doesn’t hand out pain for fun. If you’re seeking Him, what He gives is good, even if it surprises you.
🔍 Real Talk:
- Have you ever felt like God gave you a stone?
- Could it be that He’s giving you something better than what you asked?
✍️ Prayer:
Father, help me see the good in what You give—even when it’s not what I expected. I want to trust Your heart. 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.
