This morning I wrote a blog asking what fruit has come out of one year of being a church for my current church. After celebrating today at the one year anniversary with the church and hearing about the journey I realized that the fruit is in the every persons life. Everyone who has come in contact with this church has had God do something amazing in their lives including me. Thats enough isn't it? thats perfect fruit and its fruit ordained by God.

The question that got asked of me today was who are you to question what fruit the vine produces? all you have to see is that the vine produces fruit. It doesn't matter what kind it is. I was humbled by this question that God asked of me and I realized that I was being judgmental in my place of safety and should really be asking myself what kind of fruit am I producing in my life? What is God doing in my life or should it be what am I doing for God in my life?

These are hard questions and I have some answers floating around which I will pin down eventually but I think now its time to stop looking at others and start looking at myself. I was reminded of that scripture that says before you point out the spek in your brothers eyes look at the plank in your own.

So my plan is to celebrate the fruit no matter what kind it is, we need many different fruits to make a fruit salad right? lol

I'm all for fruit diversity!
