My Goodness

Well my goodness it has been a while!! I guess I just have not had much to say or show. So let me see what can I say....hhhmmmm. How about some pictures of our beautiful flowers!!

Spring

I was so excited that Spring was here. I am ready to see the flowers and the green grass. But in New Mexico Spring always means wind!! And we have some howling winds. But I think that winds bring change. We have had sun, snow, wind, rain, sun, wind, snow, talk about change!!! I would love for the Holy Spirit "wind" to blow through me and and change me! What do you think??

Look at how cool this is......

You now that in Greek the word for Spirit and the word for wind are the same word.

πνεύμα

its pronounced nooma with a little bit of a "p" sound at the beginning.

Love ya Korey

What do you think?

I woke up this morning with this verse going through my mind. I have not had self control or joy or very many of these other fruits present in my life. I think it is a choice we need to make every day. What do you think?

This week I was listening to my favorite Christian radio station and the host quickly mentioned the “fruit of the Spirit”. So today’s question was inspired by what I heard on the radio. First, let’s take a look at the verse in the Bible about the “fruit of the Spirit”.

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.


After looking at the verse in Galatians, what specific “fruit” (love, joy, peace…) do you find yourself lacking in your daily life? Give an example if you can.

What circumstance in your life shows your weakness with the specific “fruit” you mentioned above.

I know I am always talking about the things we are struggling with, but I do it for a good purpose. I truly feel that we learn more through our struggles and defeats than through our victories.

This week’s question is meant for me as much as for all of you. Recently, I feel like I have come to a place where I see that through all my life’s circumstances, especially the tough ones I have an opportunity to become more like Christ.

Through my life circumstances, I get to practice dying to a very "selfish" self. To think of others more than I think about myself. To practice self denial when my flesh cries out to indulge. To show love when I don't feel at all loving. I could keep going with my "to" list, but I will stop here, and leave you with one final thought. If you are at all like me, or maybe even a little like me; I want to challenge you to see whatever "life circumstance" you named above as a great and wonderful opportunity to become more like HIM, our sweet and lovely Jesus.

Thank you so much for answering these tough questions with me each week. You make my job a joy!

Blessings, Kim
