This month is going by so fast, I wanted to share a quick update on the "Fruit of the Spirit February Challenge" in a video format. I would like to apologize for the shaking of the video I recorded in portrait with youtube capture instead of landscape.

Listening to God update

This month I have improved my ability to listen to God which has helped my faith become stronger. One of the ways I prepare to listen to God is during my quiet time. This is when I say "speak Lord I am listening". It's usually when I put my kids in their room to take there nap. If you feel like you aren't hearing from God just remember what God says sometimes you will not understand with your mind, you have to hear with your heart and spirit. That has helped me trust in God more and strengthen my faith. God speaks to me when I least expect it during the times when I am doing a chore in the house, or taking a shower. Here are some tips I would like to offer you that has helped me this month. Set aside a scheduled quiet time it can be before or after prayer. Secondly, avoid reasoning what God has said, His thoughts are greater than ours just hear with your heart and spirit. And finally, ponder what God has said in your heart before sharing with others❤

February Faith Goals/Checklist

This month I will be focusing on the fruit of the Spirit. I've illustrated it on my instagram profile @ sunshine7031 if you haven't visited my page yet. I'm a visual and artistic person so I like to be creative with drawings, inspirational quotes, and pictures that express my faith. My goal for this month is to study the fruits of the Spirit. As I develop these spiritual gifts my faith will keep growing strong. Another goal will be to keep up with my daily bible readings, prayer time, be still and listening to God time. There also has to be time when I praise/worship God that's been a challenge for me so I will work on setting aside time for that. And finally my faith goal is to strengthen my obedience to God. True Faith is when I hear the voice of God and obey in that moment without hesitation. I will give updates throughout the month and share my praise reports also. Have a beautiful month my friend.
