How full is your fruit “basket?”
Wow. What a full year! Is your life full of the Holy Spirit’s fruit that you can rely on in such crazy times?
We’ve spent the past 9 months learning all about the blessings of the fruit of the Spirit. I’ll link all the posts below:

Regardless of how you feel you’re doing with any 1 particular fruit (or all of them, for that matter), they are available to us all just by asking.
Don’t be surprised if – once you’ve prayed for an extra dose of one – if you suddenly find yourself thrust into more situations that require that very thing. Don’t ignore it either. God is giving you time for growth and practice, and we should never ignore the things we’ve asked God to give us, should we?
What’s next?
You will be hearing from me a bit less often in November-December as:
- I finish my final edits on my third novel, Taking Liberty.
- I prepare to start 2021 with a re-branding of everything
- Hubby and I make preparations to retire at the end of this school year.
- We all enter into the rush of the holiday season.
So, as you see, my plate is a bit full. But I will continue to pray for you, and I ask that you pray for me as well. Who knows what the holidays will look like this year with the lingering pandemic. Personally, I see Amazon orders and virtual visits in my future! God bless you all!
Father God, I thank you for the insights You gave us during our time studying the Fruit of the Spirit. Bring Your Word to mind in just the right moments so we may rely on Your strength in our weakness. Bless those who read my humble words, and keep them from harm. May all we do be for Your glory.
