Before the world wakes up. Before the noise begins. Before the demands of the day pull you in every direction - there is a moment.
A sacred, quiet, powerful moment where heaven is open & God is listening.We are choosing to meet Him there... Join us!!!

@benonwine My Noritake coffee mug.... The beverage upgrades in taste to something heavenly. Even the meals served on the dinnerware, so simple but so so top notch snobbish

Learn to plant your crops in lines. Line planting will simplify your work. Crop scouting, weeding and spraying become very easy.
*What is your question about line planting????

Washing or cooking will not remove toxic chemical residues from vegetables.
Most pesticides enter the plant tissue. They move with the sap. You find them inside the leaves, stems, and fruits. Water only removes dirt and surface residues.
Heat does not solve it.
-Some chemicals break down slowly under heat
-Others remain stable even after cooking
-You still ingest residues after boiling or frying
This is where many farmers go wrong. They rely on washing to fix poor spray practices.
The real control starts in the field.
-Follow correct spray intervals
-Observe full withdrawal periods
-Use the right chemical for the crop
-Avoid spraying close to harvest
-Keep clear records of every application
If you harvest before the waiting period ends, no amount of washing will make that food safe.
Safe food is produced before harvest, not in the kitchen.

@LydiaMatiza So far I’ve been present from day one.
Never left them wondering where I was for even a day.
They are both adults now.

I met my father for the first time at 14.
Before that, he was just, a concept.
My parents separated when I was under 5, so I have zero memory of him in my childhood.
1988,mum took us to Lusulu, Lupane to meet him and also to meet Grandma.
That was also the first and last time I met my paternal grandmother.
The visit? Awkward.
He had another wife and 4 kids.
To be fair, they treated us well. We played, ate, laughed, no issues there.
But when he called me?
I would freeze.
Couldn’t say “Baba.”
The word felt foreign.
I’d just walk up and stand there like I’m waiting for further instructions 😅
He’d ask, “Kungani ungasabeli kanti?”
(Why don’t you answer?)
How do you explain that the word “Baba” never lived in your mouth to your own father?🤷🏽♂️😀
Fast forward - Form 4.
Mum could only afford 3 subjects.
I needed 7.
From memory - total sum required was around ZW$400. That included other associated exam registration fees.
She wrote to him for help.
His reply?
“I have other kids here that I have to look after.”
The tone in the letter was not nice at all.
Mum made the mistake - left letter on the bed.
Read it while she was at work.
That line - still echoes.
I almost missed my O’levels.
Deadline passed.
Got a 2-week grace period.
I still studied all 7 like the money was guaranteed.
(Delusion or faith - You decide 😅)
Last day of the deadline, money showed up.
My mum’s cousin brother stepped in.
I wrote all 7 subjects - grateful.
But I also watched my mum struggle to pay that money back later.
Painful to watch.
She eventually did.
Now here’s the funny part,
Today in family WhatsApp groups, when contributions are needed,
people act like we all started life on the same level 😅
Also my dad is still alive. That word “baba” still a strange concept.😭
Meanwhile I’m there remembering:
“Some of us almost didn’t even write O’levels, please be gentle” 😂
Life looks stable now.
But I know how thin that line was.
Sometimes survival isn’t about strength,
it’s just one person showing up at the right time.
Be honest:
what’s one moment in your life where things could have gone completely left, but didn’t? 👇
