Roots are a big part of our lives and we have the power to choose whether we’re gonna live with the ones we were born with or if we are gonna allow Jesus to exchange those old roots for new ones.
We need roots! Culture is all good I love family and the idea of generations going on and on because God intended it that way, but sometimes in the midst of our wanting to be connected to our generation our roots get contaminated. We need to get that exchange of old roots for new ones with Jesus. I choose for myself to get washed in the blood of Jesus so I can have his roots not my own.
Jesus is my Reason Why. I get new ROOTS FROM HIM!
So I want to give you some good roots I call them Iron Friends! God has shown me that in this time I have made some beautiful friends all over the world who have impacted my life more than they will ever know. You see that’s the beautiful thing about having the ROOTS OF JESUS you get all the joy! For me Iron Friends have blossomed in my life to be one of the purists roots in Jesus… the names of those who have impacted in my life. I’m gonna post some photos of them but there have been a few and some I don’t have pictures of but I want to give you some faces of those who have imparted in my life so much!!!! The Impact of these Iron friends are the reasons my Roots in Jesus have flourished! So I want to make sure you all understand this! In this time of having these friendships so many of them have pushed me in the #Growthchallenge that I started that now bloomed into a BLOG! I honestly never thought in my Life that I would do a blog but all of these “Iron Friends” Encouraged me whether they knew it or not. Kingdom is about Family and I’m not just talking about your blood family but, your church family, your community family, your friend family. I have all of these in my Life. I guess because I’m from Hawaii once I hit it off with someone I’m like “you’re family” call my mom your Aunty and call me cousin cause were family. I’ve seen that the Kingdom of heaven os the same way. I don’t believe that God wants us to be like all distant with one another. No! He wants us to be FAMILY to one another.
So in this Blog today the GOOD JESUS ROOTS are Iron friends which is Kingdom Family! So enjoy the photos!!!

Hey Guys I wanted to share the reality of my friendships. They are real and fun and super real. We send snapchats to one another we have fun! We Cry with one another we love one another!!! It’s what true Iron friends do! God gave me an understanding that with Iron friends we allow God to take away with them (those hand-picked friends) tp help remove what was never meant to be there so that only your identity in Christ is what is left which are the FRUIT OF Gods spirit his character his likeness.
Galatians 5:22-23The Passion Translation (TPT)22–23 But the fruit[a] produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions:[b]joy that overflows,[c]
peace that subdues,
patience[d]that endures, kindness[e]in action, a life full of virtue,[f] faith that prevails, gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit.[g]That is what Iron Friends do they help you in your walk with God you sharpen one another!!!!
