PLANT the SEED and it will GROW. #LIFE #HOMESTEAD #SEED #7DayPositivityChallenge.

Yesterday, we received some pictures of our backyard and our home in El Salvador which our family is taking care of.
I just wanted to share with you guys the seeds we planted in our backyard and now they are growing and alive, even though through all the setback and struggle, it looked like our seeds will not make it and our lives are the same way. It's about planting those seeds.

OUR LIVES ARE MADE OUT OF THE SEEDS WE PLANT.

Our mangos are growing like crazy. The tree is still so young but is filled with these sweet and declicious mangos that the branches need some support, otherwise they would brake from the weight of the fruit.

These mangoes are so beautiful and big and juicy now, and you might not think anything of it because all you see is just the tree with fruit, but you can't see the struggle and the hard work behind it and how much courage and how we had to get out of our comfort zone and step into the unknown to get these beautiful mangos.
I know I'm just talking about the tree, but that is how simple and hard at the same time is to plant what we desire in our lives because all it takes is plant those seeds, but it doesn't mean that it's going to be easy or that nothing will try to stop you, but again as long as you don't stop and keep on moving forward, you will reap the fruit of your seed.

Just like planting the seed in the dirt, so is everything you do in life. Our life depends on the seeds we sow in our lives.
Plant the seed of Love inside of your heart, plant the seed of Faith, plant the seed of Confidence and Belief and it will grow.

I can't wait to try these mangos. But I know at the right time it will happen and no matter how bad we want to be there, God has us where He wants us and there is a reason for it and we will enjoy it and do our best and keep on moving forward, trusting God, no matter how much our hearts belong somewhere else.

God plants those seeds of our hearts desires and our dreams and out job is to plant them because without us planting those seeds, God can't make them grow. So as you see, it is our job to make those dreams and heart desires LIVE inside of us with doing all that we can and the best way we can, and then, and only then God will make those dreams and hearts desires to grow and become a reality at the right place and the right time.

I truly believe that, from the experiences from my own life.
I have no idea why I fell in love with El Salvador the first time I went to visit. There is no explanation. From the first time we went there, God put a seed inside of us, to build a beach resort and this is the place we will retire and I know it was God, because it felt so strong, it felt like this is my destination and I never felt anything like that before or experienced anything like that before. It felt like home.

Another of our coconut trees is starting to have baby coconuts. It's pretty hard to see. It almost looks like a baby corn.

Another coconut tree that is giving us the green coconuts which we also have not tried it yet. Every day we are getting closer.

Always, always do your best, even if you are in unhappy place right now, which we all go through, but being your best and doing everything your best means you are planting the seed for your better future, it means you are moving forward even though it doesn't seem like you are, but as long as you are moving forward.

Our beautiful chickens and roosters and I don't know if you can see, but there are baby chicks too.

Our hearts are sad that we can't be where our hearts are, but I trust God because I know He made all of this happen for a reason and at the right time we will be enjoying our fruit of life. So we are going to enjoy our journey and enjoy being close to our family and learning more life through the experiences, till we get there knowing that God didn't make all of this happen for nothing. He didn't put these hearts desires in our hearts for no reason.

These were just the few pictures I wanted to share with you guys and I guess you will have to wait till we get there to see the rest of our garden, our beach our paradise.

Would love to hear from you guys what seeds are you planting in your garden of life.
Have a wonderful weekend all my friends and keep those dreams alive.

I try my best to plant good seeds. Sometimes I don't expect anything from it. Sometimes we cannot force our seeds to grow the way we want them to be. It takes patience and love constantly to nurture it.

Those mangoes are gigantic! lol! Our mangoes here are mostly green in color. There are those big ones that are red but I don't like the taste of it. I prefer the green ones.
