“Stay Connected”
📖 “I am the vine, you are the branches…for without Me you can do nothing.”
—John 15:5 (NKJV)
Sometimes life feels like a constant push to do better, be more, and prove yourself.
But Jesus flips that thinking on its head:
“Without Me, you can do nothing.”
He’s not trying to crush your confidence—He’s showing you where true strength comes from.
You weren’t created to try harder or look stronger—you were created to stay connected to Him.
Like a phone with no charger, you run dry without Jesus. But when you abide—spend time in His Word, talk to Him, and follow His leading—you’ll grow in ways you never could on your own.
Real growth. Real change. Real fruit.
Challenge:
Ask yourself:
- Am I trying to live for God… or with God?
- What needs to change in my daily life to stay better connected to Him?
Prayer:
Lord, help me stop striving in my own strength. Teach me to stay connected to You, so that I can grow in ways that matter. You are the source of everything good. 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.
