Fruits?

Fruit of the Holy Spirit is the descriptive name given by the 
Apostle Paul to a nine-point list of Christ-like 
attributes of a true Christian life

What do the following words mean? What do you have to do to fulfil them?

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self Control.

How many of these can you pick and say comfortably and honestly you abode by, live by, believe and posses?
Will continue tomorrow!!
I know that I posses the following:
Love - I have so much love to give my immediate family and my distance family. I also put way too much love into my friendships and just hope that is lasts!
Joy - Lacking; as I feel that every day life without my close friends and family seems way too stressful. I feel like I am tackling everything on my own all the time. Probably why I seem drawn to the church at the moment. The church seems to offer me everything I crave! I know I have an amazing husband and beautiful children however, I give, give, give, all the time and because it is unconditional love it is not always reciprocated.
Peace, This is one area I am severely lacking. My childhood and has a lot to do with it. 
Patience, I have none of this, is this because I have three very young children who need me 24/7, ummm I do know I lack this. I am getting better.

Coincidence or a Sign?

24.11.2011 - BBC Radio 2 - Suicide discussion and caller was talking about her father who had killed himself 10 years ago. Selfishness was discussed, and how it maybe isn't that simple. Freaky when you think my father killed himself about 10 years ago, by hanging. Then later that evening in the Alpha course on the Nicky Gumble DVD, discussions about how does God guide us, he spoke about Suicide and hanging. OK now this is rather weird. More than Coincidence?


Do you take notice of things, do you listen to your heart or use your intuition, do you watch and listen?
I came across this very usefull paragraph in an articled publish by Wikihow - How to love Christ:

“Most importantly, watch and listen for the leading of the Holy Spirit. If you are saved, He will speak to you through your spirit; you just have to listen and decide to obey. Jesus said, in Mark 16: "15 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;... 20And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following”. 

Coincidence? Ummm not sure

Wednesday Evening
Alpha night; Had a great night, told the group that I had a great experience in Church on Sunday and discussed other peoples thoughts and feelings. It felt good to talk about it with like minded people and I did not feel embarrassed about the whole journey. When I got in the car after Alpha, the song on the radio as soon as I turn the car on was: have faith in me!!! I did giggle!
Now is that coincidence.
