I wanna be juicy . . . spiritually!

So for those who may be wondering why they are reading a blog with a title that seems a little like product placement, don't worry. No gum needs to be purchased to enjoy this content.

My name is Dominique Elise, and I am a singer, songwriter, youth leader, and single lady (put ya hand up!). I love God, people, animals, and nature, but I find that sometimes I struggle with exemplifying the most basic Christian attributes. The fruits of the spirit are : love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. However as a city girl it is hard to be patient with the drunk girl who keeps bumping you at the concert. And Lord knows it is super difficult to be a faithful worker when your job sucks. And who can find joy when you can't even find an affordable apartment? So what's a girl to do? Blog.


The goal here is to grow some juicy spiritual fruit. I want to be the kind of person people a glad to see walking in the room. I am not in a search for popularity but rather singularity. Standing out from the inside out. There is a person I am supposed to be and right now I don't exactly feel like I am quite where I need to be.  I've got to do what is necessary to keep me on my path to the person I know I am supposed to be. It all starts here, after all, I have to be the change. Readers of this blog are welcome to follow along and experiment in their own lives. As I dissect this Galatians 5:22 -23, and pull inspiration from many sources, I will give my self a weekly challenge and blog the results. Well, here goes!
