Memoirs of a Mustard Seed

Hello people,
The original content of this post got caught up in cyber traffic and as such is yet to arrive.
So i like gifts and i honestly guess apart from communication, that may be one of my love languages. Due to that fact, words like freely you have received, freely give sound my music to my ears.
But a question that i have a lot of the the time is when really is it enough? where do you draw the line? If there was no order Jesus wouldn't have gathered the overflow of the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. The multiplication was because of the people. But there's a time to scatter and a time to gather (gist for another day).
The morale of the intro is that it is not about the size but the impact. At the point of feeding the multitudes, all the bakeries were not as important as the 5 loaves of bread in the wilderness. Please note that this does not refer to long and large loaves that can get you up to 20 slices of bread. i envisage bun looking loaves because it was a lad's lunch.
Most time when keep our necks outstretched, waiting for the next big break, we keep disregarding the key to the future you desire, the mustard seed.
A wise woman said 'Occupy your space' , your great future is a combination of events, they are links that eventually make up the grand picture. Every where you are at each point in time is a link, make the most of that space. Whether it is a go-between job or a short course you enrolled in, a job you do not really enjoy doing. Make as much from it as you possibly can. It matters in the end. Learn all there is to learn and make that space your own space.
At the end of the day, it is the mustard seed that you plant that brings in the great harvest not the apple seed or the mango seed that you wished you had. The best time is now, the best place is here. The good part is you build other soft skills as you move. So stop waiting for what you do not have, exhaust what you already have.

My Gratitude Journal

Today I have decided to switch things up a little bit. I want to thank you for testimonies that seem like a lie. All of them are a result of your goodness and benevolence to me and mine. Especially in this season where people are judging the seasons if their lives by what is being said on the NEWS and in the stock market. I judge your faithfulness by the goodness I have enjoyed in and out of season. My cruise of oil has not run out neither has my barn of wheat dried up. You have been faithful and good in every area of my life. This picture depicts the condition of my heart, joy, gratitude and nothing more. God is dependable.

A Long Way From Home (1) - Where is home?

I am learning that God brings you out of your comfort zone and safety net just to have you all to himself. Is it funny?, NOO. Is it Easy?, Not in the least. The longest part is when he is stripping you of you. Try compounding that with becoming a housewife in a new country after being in back to back employment for 10 years. A first time mom with a new child that is also trying to figure out this earth experience with you. There are days you will feel like you are trapped in your home, moving from bedroom to parlor, and back to the bedroom, pacifying a new baby, and looking for a pacifier yourself. Today was one of those days, I had really hoped that I could live a little through the stories of a workday but if wishes were horses.  Then after getting her royal highness to sleep, you have to struggle with a computer screen, at some point, you just drop everything and begin to look inwards. That's right after the filtering noises of a club playing music sounds like an old companion, ...

WAITING

I have been a mom for two months and I think my greatest challenge has been waiting. Waiting during the pregnancy period and wondering what the baby would look like,  what delivery will feel like,  will the things I bought be enough? Then the child comes and everything is meant to align to her timetable. Sleep when she is sleeping they say, do they remember Deborah has a work deliverable waiting on you? Sleep when she is sleeping they advise, that is except you are preparing their lunch, then you can stay awake, finish cooking, serve and clean the kitchen. Then there is the ministry of helps that you are not sure how to receive. They can only help you in their convenience which is kind of confusing because you do not really need the kind of help they are offering and the next thing you hear is "Use all the help you get" After some time, you get to a point where you are in a rhythm you don't know how it started but it doesn't reflect what you do and you are focused on ...
