So one of my favorite bible verses is Galatians 5:22-23:
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control"
What a beautiful picture- and frankly, the only way I have patience and gentleness on most of my days as a stay at home mom is with the help of the Holy Spirit!
But it gets me thinking... what would be the fruits of my spirit? That is what I am on a journey to discover and produce. I am a home body, and I love to live in a warm and beautiful space. I am in love with my husband and my children and I love our little life here in NC. I love to read, and I feel most clear of thought when I am writing with a good pen or pencil in a pretty journal. The older I get, the more I appreciate the inherent beauty of nature, and people, and silence. (I have always considered myself an extrovert, and I still love being among a fun group, but these days I crave solitude.) I love to exercise my creativity by designing and creating something new. I enjoy making jewelry, sewing, and all forms of crafting. I love family, and I am proud of my Okie and Texas small town roots. I love learning something new and I love the feeling I get when I try something new.
So what does that fruit look like???
The journey continues.....
