To start something from scratch without an help book or anything else similar for dummies can be very challenging and at times frustrating. In our case, nobody has tried to do Tjeko before us so we do not have the luxury to look over the shoulder of somebody to copy or get inspired by their work. We are alone. Some days we can be full of ideas other days full of questions. We work hard. We work alot. We work constantly. We do our best to make Tjeko a success. We encourage each other by telling to each other how one day what we are going through will be great stories to tell. We then smile, keep on working and push forward. Our lacks and weaknesses can be huge mountains to over come. The constant dilemma between having new ideas and not having resources is tiring. To look and compare with other their accomplishment can be painful and discouraging.
In the process to develop Tjeko this one verse has ministered to me powerfully
Do not despise the days of small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin Zechariah 4:10
It felt like a warm tap on our shoulder. We were so encouraged to see that God knows about the struggles and battles of small beginnings. Yes it's not easy but it's part of it. Your small beginning doesn't define how big or small you will become. Don't despite them. Be encouraged!
