"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control" Galatians 5:22-23 For some reason I find myself trying hard to produce these traits, and I've failing at them. What I came to realize is that a peach tree does not strive to produce peaches, does it? It by nature, creates peaches. That is how God works the fruit of the Spirit into us, producing what we were meant to produce for Him with His help. We don't need to struggle to ... Read More about *Fruit of the Spirit

July 17th 2010 I'm reading "Confident Parenting" by Jim Burns and happened to also do a study on self-control today focusing on taming the tongue.

My Baby Turned 2
So this past week our youngest turned 2, and it broke my heart. She isn't a baby anymore! She talks up a storm, gets into everything every chance she gets, plays dead when you catch her doing something she shouldn't, loves her blankie, and cupie, don't like it mama, and loves all over you.
