Le Shoutout 🧣
The lady I always sit next to in church is lovely.
Her name is Joy, and she is a joy.
Yesterday, I walked in a bit late.
Due to being late, there was no space next to Joy.
So, I gave Joy a fist bump and sat in the seat in front of her.
As I sat there, I felt her tap on my shoulder.
“I have a book for you; please remind me to give it to you,” she said.
“I will remember,” I replied while writing “The Book of Joy” on my hand.
After the service, she whipped The Book out of her bag and presented it to me:
The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren.
“Thank you so much, Joy,” I said.
“It helped me a lot when I was your age,” she said, smiling.
Wholesome.
Even if The Book doesn’t help, the gesture does.
Shoutout Joy.
A few minutes later, I was drinking a coffee at Hazz Coffee.
I looked at The Book, turned it around, and read the back:
“Knowing God’s purpose for creating you will reduce your stress, focus your energy, simplify your decisions, and give meaning to your life…”
It reminded me of something I read recently: “You will always be shown enough to take one step or make your next decision with confidence.”
Too often, we stress about finding Step Seven when we can’t even see Step Two yet.
And we can’t see Step Two because we haven’t even taken Step One.
Just take the small step in front of you.
Step Seven will come.
Le Story ✍️
The other day, I was asked what my favourite meal (in the world) is.
Any meal? Hmm.
To answer, we will need to return to Limpopo.
On the back of a game drive vehicle, my mom hands me a bowl.
In the bowl, there are two boiled eggs.
With the eggs, there are four pieces of bacon.
With the bacon, there are two slices of gluten-free bread (slightly chewy because they have been wrapped in tin foil for two hours).
After peeling the eggs, I break them in half with my hands.
I place the broken egg halves onto the toast.
On top of the egg halves, I balance the bacon.
Then, I place the other toast on top, assembling the sandwich, encapsulating everything between the two tiny pieces of gluten-free bread like a tailor fitting an enormous man’s leg into a slim-fit suit.
The chewy toast paired with the salty bacon and chalky egg is the most straightforward combination, allowing me to absorb every flavour while sitting in the middle of Limpopo, surrounded by trees, bushes, birds, animals, my mom, and my sister.
With the bacon and egg sandwich, I drink Jacobs coffee.
There is just something about it all.
What is yours?
