What Else?

 It's a good thing to have someone you can teach or impart knowledge but what's even better is to have someone or friends you can learn from. We all need a "what else" kind of friends. A friend who will say what else? when you tell her I am going to start my coffee shop. And you say, and the coffee will come from the coffee beans I will grow. What else? Then I will serve sandwiches with meat from my chickens and pigs, and you will help me with finances and knowledge. What else do you need from me, I'm here.

That last line is the icing on the cake you'd want to hear from a friend. 

When you're ready, get ready

 All these years I dreamed of a land filled with animals; chickens, goats, cats, cows and pigs roaming around the orchard of different fruit trees. I can't have this here in our land in the US because it not only requires a lot of land and financial investment, I would need a permanent help with daily work. So my dream was always pointing towards the island in the tropics. But I could not find someone who can see  the vision I have for my land in the island of Camotes. I have tried training and encouraging the street kids, I have paid good money for my caretaker to make the land productive but to no avail. I gave a piece of land to my nephew and niece hoping they would go and see what they can do there, but it's been over 2 years and neither one has even went to look at it. 

But God is faithful and He saw the dream in my heart so He sent 2 people who shares my passion of farming and cooking.  We are now in the process of developing the land and I Thank Jesus beyond words.

One of my mentors keep saying "When you're ready, get ready" I am ready. And I am getting ready.
