tattoo for a friend

Hope, is one of the ladies that i work with at Old Navy. She has been asked me to draw a tattoo for her. She is also extremely passionate about her love of Jesus. Hope has been bugging me on and off again to come up with an original sketch for a tattoo that she wants. She wanted something that shows her deep rooted faith in Christ.
Sad to say i don't go to church at all or nearly enough any more. Still i created this piece with plenty of symbolism that i will explain. From the trunk of a tree to the longest root the overall design is in the shape of a cross. I also have the roots spell out the word Christ. The roots have a jagged rendering to symbolize the cross of thrones worn on Jesus' head the day he was crucified. It's just a sketch, i thought about drawing another 1 or 2 but i'm not busy with my sketch challenge at the moment.
