You can flourish in Christ. 

Jesus said that he came to give us abundant life, which means we are not just alive in him, we are vibrant. But many of us don't feel like we are thriving at all in our faith. We feel stuck, stagnant, useless and frustrated spiritually. Could it be that we have not prioritized Jesus' words in John 15:5? "I am the vine. You are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." 

​

He didn't just say we would be fruitful; he said we would be very fruitful. We flourish when we abide in Christ. Here at Abiding Ladies we will explore how we can can abide more richly and intentionally in him, doing whatever it takes to stay connected to Jesus. Engaging our hearts. Nourishing our faith. Walking it out in our every day lives. Welcome, friend. I am happy you are here!
