I always have a long list of thing to do or get done and get frustrated because I never complete my list and am often impatient with my seeming lack of results. Instead of approaching life as a list I’m choosing instead to cultivate positive fruit in my life. For example, instead of focusing on a list of work related tasks and how many boxes I can check off in a day I will focus on cultivating talents, relationships, etc. Just like a garden is cultivated with love and patience and gentleness I will work to approach my day to day life in the same way and be patient for the fruit. I also look forward to seeing how God will use the coming year to cultivate in me.
