Love (John 13:34):

Love is the root of everything. The way I love is deeply rooted in my faith. How, you may be asking, do I show love? through action and intention nigga! I try to make people feel seen and cared for. I serve quietly and faithfully. I try to help others when I can. IDK, i mean what else can I say? I exude love because He has shown me love...you just gotta experience it for yourself.

Joy (Nehemiah 8:10):

Joy isn't just happiness, it's my middle name. It is also contentment through anything cause you know you have a relationship w/ the Realest. I am joi, I create it along with fun *winks* *blows a kiss*. My humor, aesthetics, love for color and detail, etc. All i have to do is be me and joy/joi follows. blame diane and my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.

Peace (Isaiah 26:3):

A calmness that stems from a relationship with Him. I am intentional with my space and I protect my peace. Ion have time for the mess #willleaveyoualonequick #alllove #noaccess. A big part of that comes from having a relationship with Him. Knowing that whatever come my way, I will be covered in the blood (Romans 8:28). Discernment play a part too; it helps you know what situations to give energy to. Being able to read a situation is a gift that He has blessed me with...I have no need to worry, think, or b bothered.

Patience (Ephesians 4:2):

Waiting with grace and a hint of kindness. I am not good with this. I always gotta b in control of sum. And if it don't go my way, I will throw a fit. I'm getting better because of yk Who. It shows up in all aspects of my beautiful mysterious life (traffic, school, on this got dern blog, work). It b hard, but what helps is knowing I whatever he got for me is 10x better than any plan I make. So I am more open to patience & try not to rush/control. God loves to take the scenic route. #beautyintheslow #tortoise #lilniggaturtle

Kindness (Proverbs 31:26)

This is love in action. This comes naturally to me, im a sweetheart, at least thats what my momma say. I care bout how ppl feel and the vibe I give off. I create space for others to exist in my wrld. &&& I choose softness even when the world is so cruel to a princess like me. But there is some times, when i can feel the kindness slipping and irritation getting a grip. That's when I say a quick lil "Lord, please," and keep it pushing.

Goodness (Romans 12:21)

This is integrity, honesty, and generosity. I honor God with my money, time, blog, everything fr. I try to do the right thing, and I still b messing up. That's why His forgiveness should mean everthing to us. Not only are we redeemed through it, but it shows us how graceful He be moving.  I think my goodness is well represented on this planet (the Lord's Land). It's not conditional boo, it's consistent and intentional.

Faithfulness (Matthew 25:23):

This scripture...who wouldn't want God to say this to them! Faithfulness is loyalty, yk, staying close to Him even when things ain going yo way. When you prayers aren't getting answered right a way. When you feel like he not close. When the trials getting a lil too tribulating..I keep on praying, bible studying, listening, asking. #faithatitsfinest. I wasn't always like that now, especially not in 2020-2022. My relationship with Him was transactional/conditional.

Gentleness (Philippians 4:5):

uhhhhh Ion if I'm gentle fr. ok, lemme say this,  i think my gentle stops being gentle when I encounter difficult ppl. I feel like God's gentleness includes so much more paitence...I get irritated too quick. In general tho, I speak kindly, avoid being overly harsh, find a way to include humor (cause who dont like to laugh), and come from a place of understanding. I also try to make my delivery soft but truthful. I wanna b better tho especially with ppl who get on my everlasting nerves.

Self- Control (Proverbs 25:28):

My least favorite fruit. Only cause I struggle so bad with it. I fail to give Him my temptations often. Like fasting, i try to fast everyday for at least 12 hrs, but i b so hungry...ion know how ppl do 40 days. I can say tho, that I am good at controlling my emotions and word. I want it in all aspects of my life tho. I gotta submit to God better. It gotta align with His will. Value alignment over impulse chocolate neck!
