This is Cedric Habiyaremye and his mom. The former refugee is a rising star in the field of global agriculture.
He says his mom is his biggest inspiration. When he was a boy, and their family fled to Rwanda to a refugee camp in Tanzania, his mom offered strong words of support when they faced hunger. When he was a Ph.D. student, she was the first to test out his new idea: growing quinoa in Rwanda.
Happy 4th my lovelies! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on here. Ever since I began school my life has been a whirlwind of busyness. But I was laying here and I was overwhelmed with the desire to say Thank You. Thank you Father for this wonderful life that you have blessed me with. Thank for the joy and the struggle because they all have brought me here. To be a woman who can honestly say I know God. You have revealed yourself to me. Showing me your incredible loving kindness. I have felt your intoxicating passion for me. I’ve enjoyed the sweetness of your laughter and felt the warmth of your embrace. Although I admire the ways you interact with others I would never exchange what I have you. Thank you for choosing me every single time. ❤️ #Jesus #love #beloved #blessed #faithful #grace #christian #thankyou #joy #peace #gospel #goodnews #God #Yahweh #Yeshua
2017 has been a whirlwind year for me. Filled with so many wonderful things and some really hard things. God has answered some of my greatest prayers and I’m am so thankful. Through everything that has happened God has proven his faithfulness over and over. There are still a few days left in 2017, and I’m still excited to see what else God has in store. Try not to be so hasty to jump into next year, and trust God in his process even when it sucks. When I reflect on the hard things I’ve had to endure I am amazed by my future. I know that all these things are doing a greater work in me that is preparing for the wonderful plan God has for my life. Happy 2017 lovelies…never fear God is with you! #Jesus #blessed #hope #beloved #love #daddysgirl #christian #faith #2017 #joy #peace #nofear #israel #gospel #goodnews #grace #God #Yahweh #Yeshua
“EVERY trouble is an opportunity to win the grace of strength. Whatever else trouble is in the world for, it is here for this good purpose: to develop strength. For a trouble is a moral and spiritual task. It is something which is hard to do. And it is in the spiritual world as in the physical, strength is increased by encounter with the difficult. A world without any trouble in it would be, to people of our kind, a place of spiritual enervation and moral laziness. Fortunately, every day is crowded with care. Every day to every one of us brings its questions, its worries, and its tasks, brings its sufficiency of trouble. Thus we get our daily spiritual exercise. Every day we are blessed with new opportunities for the development of strength of soul. ” GEORGE HODGES
I love this quote….but sadly rather than seeing my problems as an opportunity for growth so often I see them as a hindrance. Everyday I wake up with a list of all the things I wish God would change in my life. However, today I will be different…Daddy thank you for all the struggles in my life…thank you for the mysteries, the doubts, the inconveniences, the frustrations, and the all the hard things I am faced with. I know that you are a good Father, and that not one of these things will be wasted in your hands. That everything is used to bring me from glory to glory as I grow to look more like you. Help me to see my troubles as opportunities rather heartache. Thank you for loving me better than I could love myself. In Jesus name amen ❤️ #Jesus #Blessed #faithful #daddysgirl #Bible #Christ #Hope #Israel #joy #trouble #hard #help #gospel #goodnews #struggle #church #treasure #Father #God #Yahweh #Yeshua

In Jesus name amen #jesus #blessed #hope #love #daddysgirl #faith#church #Christ #israel #beloved #faith #dreams #joy #peace #laughter #christian #gospel #goodnews #God #Yahweh #Yeshua
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23 ESV
Daddy let my heart be overwhelmed by your goodness …give me eyes that stay focused on you…and remind me constantly of your faithfulness…you are the good shepherd and I do not lack …for every area of my life you have provided green pastures…thank you for being such a loving Father …who cares more than I could every imagine…so excited to worship with my family this morning!…in Jesus name amen
“One thing I have asked of the LORD, and that I will seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD [in His presence] all the days of my life, To gaze upon the beauty [the delightful loveliness and majestic grandeur] of the LORD And to meditate in His temple.” PSALM 27:4 AMP
After working with children for a little while I’m still startled by how little some will know about God. I did not grow up in church and so I can relate and realize that I carried a lot of my misconceptions about God into my adulthood. It is such a blessing to share the gospel with people for the first time….to reveal the delightful loveliness of our selfless Savior. To allow them to taste and see that He alone is good. When their eyes truly see and their ears actually hear the Truth ….who then could refuse the love of God? The Bible says how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news…I encourage you to share the Good News …believe it or not even in a America there are still people dying to hear about Jesus.
It’s the start of a new day and Daddy I am making the choice to follow your Son. I leave behind the countless mistakes I made just yesterday…. knowing that today can be different and that your mercies are new… thank you for sharing your abundant grace and love …without which I’m bound to fail again…I look forward to the adventures and love that you have planned for today. In Jesus name amen
After a hard workout where everything hurts …I am even more thankful to be in the care of The Good Shepherd… the one who binds my hurts and leads me to green pastures where I can find rest in His fullness…Father you grace is more than sufficient for this this girl
