🌱 Bougie Wisdom: I Have Learned 🌱

I have learned… when God gives you a purpose, stay in it. ✨

Stay in it when it’s hard.
Stay in it when people don’t understand it.
Stay in it when the money is funny.
Stay in it when the vision looks bigger than your current situation.

Because purpose is not based on convenience… it’s based on calling.

I have learned that God will give you a glimpse of your future long before you have the resources, the team, or even the confidence to fully walk it out. And somewhere between the tears, the setbacks, the praying, the building, and the believing… He develops you for the very thing He showed you. 🌾

Bougie Wisdom teaches us this:
Don’t abandon what God told you just because the process became uncomfortable.

The farm.
The business.
The dream.
The healing.
The legacy.

It all requires faith to keep showing up.

I have learned that obedience will take you places talent alone never could. 💫

So if God gave you the vision… nurture it. Protect it. Water it. Stay in it until purpose produces harvest.

“Be not weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” — Galatians 6:9

“In 2026, I cultivate abundance with intention and elegance.
My land is fertile, my vision is expansive, and my work is both profitable and purposeful.
I honor the wisdom of the soil while embracing innovation and excellence.
Every seed I plant—on the farm and in my life—yields prosperity, beauty, and generational wealth.
I am grounded, refined, and richly rewarded for stewarding the land with grace.”

The jewish people made this during the great depression and this is one of the original recipes. I substitute cucumber slices for the green peppers as I don't like green bell pepper.
Ingredients
1 head shredded cabbage- about 2lbs.
3 carrots sliced
2 cucumbers
2 green peppers ( I use sliced cucumbers in place of peppers)
1 large red onion thinly sliced
1 buch radishes thinly sliced
1/2 bunch celery
Dressing
1 cup vegetable oil( or your preferance)
1/2 cup warm water
1 1/2 cup white vinegar
10 to 12 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon salt
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
Slice all vegetables and place in a large bowl
Mix sugar,salt, and garlic powder in bowl with warm water and stir until dissolved, add the vinegar and oil.
Pour dressing over vegetables and mix well, pack into glass jars then divide and pour any remaining dressing evenly into the jars.
The dressing is great, it is not to sweet because of the amount of vinigar. I do not substitute things for the dressing. Enjoy because this stuff sure is delicious.

Hello Pastor Mike, Jr.
I pray all is well. I’m asking for your prayers over a major assignment God has given me — The Bougie Farmer Agribusiness Innovation Lab.

It’s a youth-centered agricultural and innovation campus designed to teach farming, STEM, entrepreneurship, and faith-based leadership, while building a fully functional farm with cattle, goats, gardens, hydroponics, and community programs.

Please cover the land, the vision, the funding, and every child this project will impact. Thank you for standing with me in prayer, Pastor. 🙏💚🌱
