I am Renata Roberts, an author with degrees in Psychology and Applied Theology my educational background and professional experience have given me a deep understanding of the influence that trauma, social pressure, and emotional challenges have on our ability to reach our full potential and live exceptional lives.
I find that some perspective often makes understanding the “why” behind change easier. My own situation is unique and has very little to do with the challenges that you face daily. I have a big family, and every dinner has to be prepared for at least a dozen people, but often more. This creates the need to cook more dishes from scratch automatically. I also have a lady who helps me cook during the week, putting a different twist on my kitchen environment.
Let me tell you a secret: you don’t need an acre, a greenhouse, or even a Pinterest-perfect potting shed to grow a kitchen garden. You need one thing: a willingness to start where you are.
When the cupboards are cleared and the garden is planted, there comes a moment where you stand there wondering, now what? I want to challenge you to rather ask “Why”. Why is all this important for me, personally?
If my first story was about clearing the clutter from my life, this one is about what I’ve chosen to plant in that cleared space. It starts even before that, with what I received from God in terms of redemption and love. My faith grew over a lifetime because God had infinite patience with me. He never calculated my success, but cherished my heart, into a life that wants to honour Him.
