Interview with Melanie from “The Fruits of the Spirit”

“The Fruits of the Spirit”

http://thefruitsofthespirit.blogspot.com

I started my blog as a way to share my faith and also hold myself a bit more accountable for my personal Bible Study time. At least once a week I will share a post that will be from a particular passage of scripture I have been studying and praying. In addition to that I share a little bit about myself and my family and join in on some of the fun memes that are out there.

Since February, 2008

My faith and daily walk with the Lord along with a bit about myself and my family.

I do. I find it’s a great way to build relationships with other bloggers.

I usually blog from home in the evenings after my kids are asleep.

It varies week to week but I average about 1-2 hours a week reading blogs and about the same amount of time writing my own blog.

I’ve definitely been challenged as I’ve read posts on other’s blogs… challenged to be a better wife, mommy and Christian.

I find that I am challenged in seeking God’s word and what He would have me to learn in my own personal Bible Study since I blog about it. If I’m going to write a post about a passage of scripture I can’t just read it over once or twice and then be done. I must read it, study it, and pray about.. I must truly seek to understand what God has for me in His Word.
