The Spirit's Fruit Salad

Nearly a year ago I seriously took a long, hard look at how the fruits of the Holy Spirit manifested themselves in my life. I encourage you moms to do the same. How do you exhibit love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control? This is about you, not your children, you. Give yourself the time to think. Take it. Nowadays moms are on such a crazy rollercoaster. How can you think and plan zooming around life on a rollercoaster? You can't. You simply react to things that occur. That is not fulfilling God's plan for your life. That's not living. Reacting is not living. Steal the time somehow and begin your journey to see what God wants of you.

I began my journey a year ago and I can happily say that I know what God wants of me now. A year ago I had no clue. I hated many parts of the past year - hated them with a pasion. But God was always there with me. No matter how low I went there was God right with me holding me. I felt Him. He raised me up. He showed me my way. Let Him show you yours.
