Just thought I should share this before you start your week. It’s an answer I received from my ancestors but I think someone else will find it useful. [THREAD]

I thought there was something strange about the OLIVE that kept following me this week but Everytime I’d see or t vision olives, I’d brush it off because I’d think of alcohol. Yep. This quarantine has us looking at veges & fruits differently. Ayisembi. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Crying face">

Tonight, I selected the song of the week on Instagram (as I normally do on Sundays). Then I realised the olive reference in it... Again this olive pops up https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏾‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming (medium dark skin tone)">I thought an I that thirsty? I ignored it.

Now I’m watching a sermon and guess who pops in again? ... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍸" title="Cocktail glass" aria-label="Emoji: Cocktail glass">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍸" title="Cocktail glass" aria-label="Emoji: Cocktail glass">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍸" title="Cocktail glass" aria-label="Emoji: Cocktail glass">

It then dawned on me that last week, I asked my ancestors about something that’s taking a while & I voiced my concern of the process being extra difficult. It then dawned on me that the OLIVE is my answer.

So I thought ok, thank God I don’t have an alcohol problem. Sheesh. It’s actually something with purpose https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏾‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming (medium dark skin tone)">

Then I googled the Olive and pieced the message together.

Basically, I’m in the process of the pressing and pulling. I will grow in soils that are unfavourable and that’s where I am right now. In the most unwilling soils - but something will grow.

The reason why I’m sharing this is for anyone who might be in a similar situation. Waiting. Frustrating. Blocked. Pressed to the last drop of patience.

Remember the olive reference and understand the process. The oil is being processed.

Wait on God https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Sparkles" aria-label="Emoji: Sparkles">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤎" title="Brown heart" aria-label="Emoji: Brown heart">
