Sometimes you have to go to a place they've never been to become a woman they've never seen.

John 15 is a staple biblical chapter in my life. I've never captured its full interpretation but I comb it routinely for new applications in my life. When my husband and I divinely received our daughter's name - while watching Netflix (ha!) - we didn't know that it meant "vine". Today, I read up on vines and vineyards to shape my parenting and connection to the Father.
A vineyard's soil requires a few rocks in it. Too many rocks and the vine is strangled. Too few rocks and the vine grows extra leafy. In both instances, no fruit.
Your womanhood journey requires you to be planted in soil that has a few rocks in it. Too little care and you won't blossom at all. Too much comfort and you'll be all flash and no substance.
You must go. Your home base is too safe. Travel to new places that may pose a challenge but also provide opportunities for growth. Go to the places your forerunners haven't been so you can "bear much fruit".
