So yesterday, I did an Open House at the house I grew up in. Signage was up on a fairly busy street pointing potentials to the home. When only a half a dozen people showed, and a couple were just the walking by looky-loo's kind, I started to get that sinking feeling one gets when things don't go your way...
When you fix your mind on problems, you stumble. When you keep your mind on God, the problems tumble. Somehow, His peace is the real deal. While fear is a natural response to obstacles, adversity and failure, the peace He gives, is the supernatural response given to us by His grace. Just as Jesus had authority over the wind and waves, He has authority over the storms, in our lives. He has authority over our doubts, fears and shame.
I know that in His time, the right buyer, seller, or investor will cross my path and I'll have another story to post. Until then, I just continue to put it out there "I'm an Ambassador of God, masquerading as a Realtor."
About Me
- The Rudder
- So now I'm on my 3rd bout with cancer. I have to admit the treatments are getting old already...Life takes on a completely different perspective. Trials only cause us to overcome and emerge as much stronger individuals of character. Over the years, I bought into the Trump and "Rich Dad Poor Dad" phylosophy of the power of leverage. As a real estate investor,I used that knowledge of the day to build a little empire of over 300 properties, sub-division, and commercial buildings, throw in a car dealership, and a nice stock portfolio etc, bur now it's all gone away. In spite of all the hardship, God is good and all needs are met. I have a great family, my faith is stronger than ever, and friends willing to go through the fire with me. Life is good. These blogs are mostly about stories and situations from the here and now, but also from the there and then of life. But sometimes, it may just be about stuff. If you like it; please leave a comment.
