Roots has helped me step out of my comfort zone to spread God’s word more boldly and has allowed me to grow deeper in my faith by being surrounded with others who love Jesus

“So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.”
Hebrews 10:35–36
Favorite Bible Verse
What Does This Verse Mean To You?
It reminds me that confidence isn’t about strutting around like you’ve got it all together. It’s not about pretending, performing, or pushing your way through, but REAL confidence comes from knowing exactly who your God is and who you are because of Him.
You don’t have to look strong to stand firm.
You just have to trust that if God placed you there, He will walk with you through it. God isn’t asking you to be perfect. He’s asking you to trust Him.
So take a deep breath. Stand up straight. Fix your crown. Walk in like you belong there, because in Jesus, you absolutely do.
A Little About Bella's Walk With Jesus:
Over the past couple of months, Jesus has showed me something that I think about quite often. He has placed me in my life, at this exact time for a reason and He has a plan… for me! All I have to do is live it and let His fruit fall from my tree. I’ve learned to live joyfully. Why wouldn’t I? The creator of the entire universe chose me. He saved me. He shared His loves with me, so I’ll share it too.
Fun Fact About Bella
I love playing soccer, just being out on the field, working hard, and enjoying the game. And I really love spending time with my family, laughing, hanging out, and making memories together.
What Bella Loves About ROOTS
I love Roots! Last year was my first year of high school. I was
asked to be a leader with Roots and was the only
freshman, which really pushed me out of my little bubble,
helping me build friendships with older students.
I have met so many great people and grown so much in my walk with God. I truly have Roots to thank for that growth and
am beyond grateful for Mr. Joey and Mrs. Ericka.
They consistently encourage me and challenge me to become more of the person God created me to be.
