The last couple of weeks — well to be honest, the last month has been hard for me. I am at that place where I know what God wants me to do with my life, and really afraid to step out and do what I need to do. I have been pulling away from Him thinking that by doing so, I can focus on my life, my energy and what I need to do to get through each day. The funny thing is this — That is the farthest thing from the truth.
My energy and my focus have been so off lately and it is because I have pulled away from Him. I find myself thinking about things that I shouldn’t and I definitely need to focus on my writing –FOR HIM.
To do this I have to stay connected. My branch — ME has to be connected to Him in order to get all the nutrients I need for the day.
- Energy
- Love
- Compassion
- Strength to make it through
Watching all the young adults at our church and the connection that they have with God right now makes me yearn for that same thing. The secret? Staying connected.
My fruit will not make a difference in someone’s life if I am disconnected. I want to make sure that what I share with you is exactly what you need to hear for that day.
So how will you stay connected?
apart from Me you can do nothing….
Today I’m linking up with up with Jane at Girl Meets Paper for Monday Morning Meditation.



Hi! I am Jen--a wife to the most amazing man ever and a homeschool mom to one teenager. I just graduated my oldest.
I have been blogging since 2007. I love to watch movies, spend time in the kitchen, crochet, dance, drink coffee, and lay on the beach. Between recipes, reviews, and hilarious life story moments you'll find many helpful posts on this blog. Welcome, pull up a chair and stay for a while!








Stopping over from Jane’s today. So often I choose to go my own way, pushing my time with Him aside. My life is so much easier to navigate when I am connected to Him. Have a blessed day.
