God is so good and faithful! Today, for my mission trip fundraising, I had a donation table at my Dad's church. I was blessed with $290 in donations and I am praying that more will come from the congregation. On top of that, God answered my prayer in another much needed financial area. I had been praying that today I would receive at least one monthly pledge for my Honor Academy internship. One woman whose grandaughter attended Honor Academy came and told me that she wanted to support me with a monthly pledge! How great is our God!!

Today I had an interesting conversation with an old friend of mine from high school. I had always thought that I had lived a good life until recently I realized that I was living a fairly "normal" life. God changed my life and today I got a look at what my life used to be. I talked to this friend and we got into the subject of partying. I told him I never really was the type to go to parties. His response to my comment took me entirely by surprise. He told me that he always thought I was a partier!
After he said that, I sat in shock. I always thought I was a good little Christian girl. Obviously I wasn't living as an example for the Lord.
I think we all have been through times when we were not producing the fruit of the spirit (love,joy,peace,patience,kindness,goodness,faithfulness,gentleness, and self-control). I challenge you, as well as myself,  to pray over these fruits. That they would grow abundantely in your life and be visible to those who you associate with.
