"Just Show Me That You Trust Me"

2008-02-13T12:53:18Z

There are times that regardless of how hard I try to stay positive, I begin to look at my circumstances, and my faith begins to waiver.

In these times, I begin to rely on the word that is hidden in my heart, and when I begin to take my eyes off of God, I hear his words in my head, and they are a great comfort to me.

I have been blessed with some truly wonderful friendships here on Active Rain, and I want to let all of you who have been calling and emailing me know how grateful I am that you have been praying for me, and how awesome it is to have a God who can truly align hearts and like minds.

John 13: 34-35 says this: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

Thank you for the love that you have shown to me, for your caring and concern, and for your prayers.

I just wanted to leave you with this illustration of faith that I received while I was praying this morning.

I have been hearing the Lord tell me that all that he requires of me in this time is to " Just Show Me That You Trust Me."

As I was meditating on these words, God showed me two perfect illustrations of what it means to truly trust him.

Our children are a wonderful reminder of the true faith that God calls us to have. Think about the unwavering faith they have in us when they are very small. Our words are law to them. I learned a long time ago to be very careful with the promises that I would make to my children, because they had such faith in those promises. And like dear children, they had no shame in reminding us of those promises. In fact, they had no reservations in continually asking us to fulfill the promises that were made to them, and absolute faith that we would carry out and deliver what had been promised.

I also remembered a time when my daughter was very little. She had a "thing" about jumping off of high places. She loved to climb on the couch and jump off. Climb, climb, climb is what she would do all day long if I would allow her. One night as I was preparing dinner, she motioned for me to pick her up. Not skipping a beat, I scooped her into my arms and continued with what I was doing. After a while she began to squirm and wanted me to put her on the counter top so that she could sit and watch as I unloaded the dishwasher. Without thinking, I placed her on the counter top and as I turned away, I realized "Oh No! She's going to try to jump off" so I spun around and saw that, while she had been considering it, she was afraid to jump because it was too high.

My husband walked in around that time, and saw that my daughter was keeping me company in the kitchen. Walking over to my daughter, he held his hands out, and motioned for her to jump. Hesitant at first, I watched as my daughter looked at the distance from the counter to the floor, and then to her Dad. This went on for several minutes, as my husband tried to coax her to jump into his arms. Finally, my husband said "Don't worry, I'll catch you!" and with that, my daughter STOOD UP and leapt without any fear.

How many times has God gently told you "Don't worry...I'll catch you"?

Mark 10: 13 - 16

13People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.

14When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

15I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

16And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

A person with child like faith means believing that God can absolutely do the impossible. In fact, it means having faith in God, the way that our children believe in us. That we can do anything! We must believe that he can do all things, according to his word.

Even as I write this, I hope that this message will encourage someone else to STAND UP AND JUMP WITHOUT FEAR. He WILL catch you. He caught me.

May your weeks be blessed, shaken down, and running over with his abundant grace!

No Greater Love...

2008-02-07T14:01:46Z

This was shared by my Pastor on Sunday, and I thought that the story was so beautiful, that you might be as blessed as I was . Please continue to keep me in your prayers. I have recently changed brokerages, and I am just trying to get back into the swing of things. May God bless your week with favor, blessings and abundance, pressed down, shaken together and running over with his grace.

After a few of the usual Sunday evening hymns, the church's Pastor slowly stood up, walked over to the pulpit and, befor he gave his sermon for the evening, he briefly introduced a guest minister who was in the service that evening.

In the introduction, the pastor told the congregation that the guest minister was one of his dearest childhood friends and that he wanted him to have a few moments to greet the church and share whatever he felt would be appropriate for the service.

With that, an elderly man stepped up to the pulpit and began to speak.

"A Father, his son, and a friend of his son were sailing off the Pacific Coast," he began. "When a fast approaching storm blocked any attempt to get back to the shore.

The waves were so high, that even though the father was an experienced sailor, he could not keep the boat upright and the three were swept into the ocean as the boat capsized"

The old man hesitated for a moment, making eye contact with two teenagers who were, for the first time since the service began, looking somewhat interested in his story.

The aged minister continued with his story, "Grabbing a rescue line, the father had to make the most excruciating decision of his life: to which boy would he throw the other end of the life line. He only had seconds to make the decision.

The father knew that his son was a christian and he also know that his son's friend was not.

The agony of his decision could not be matched by the torrent of the waves.

As the father yelled out, ' I love you son!' He threw out the life line to his son's friend. By the time the father had pulled the friend back to the capsized boat, his son had disappeared beneath the raging swells into the black of the night.

His body was never recovered.

By this time, the two teenagers were sitting up straight in the pew, anxiously waiting for the next words to come out of the old ministers mouth.

"The Father," he continued, "knew his son would step into eternity with Jesus and he could not bear the thought of his son's friend stepping into an eternity without Jesus..Therefore, he sacrificed his son to save the son's friend."

How great is the love of God that he should do the same for us. Our heavenly Father sacrificed his only begotten son so that we could be saved. I urge you to accept his offer to rescue you and take a hold of the life line he is throwing out to you in this service."

With that, the old man turned and sat back down in his chair as silence filled the room.

The pastor again walked slowly to the pulpit and delivered a brief sermon with an invitation at the end. However, no one responded to the appeal.

Within minutes after the service ended, the two teenagers were at the old man's side.

"That was a nice story," politely stated one of them, "But I don't think it was very realistic for a Father to give up his only son's life in hopes that the other boy would become a Christian."

"Well, you'be got a point there," the old man replied, glancing down at his worn bible. A big smile broadened his narrow face. He once again looked up at the boy's and said "It sure isn't very realistic, is it? But I'm standing here today to tell you that story gives me a glimpse of what it must have been like for God to give up his son for me.

You See....

I was that Father, and your Pastor is my son's friend."

For All To See...The Real MeMe- UPDATED!

2008-01-24T18:20:23Z

I was really surprised when I recieved the message that I had been tagged for another Meme, by Midori Miller in her blog 8 Random Things About Me...I Have Been Meme'd Outside of Activerain......

This is my second time "up to bat" so if you haven't had a chance to read my first Meme, here it is: I've been Double Meme'd!! Tag Meme'd! Meme'd....

Now to find four or five more things about me that you could find remotely interesting...

1. One of my favorite TV shows growing up, would have to be The Bionic Woman, with Lindsay Wagner. I absolutely LOVED that show, and I wanted to BE Jaime Sommers. I would run around my yard, jumping off of things, and making that sound that meant that the "Bionics" were kicking into gear. Remember that sound? Mememememememememe! Mememememememememe! All day long I would make that sound, as I jumped down from higher and higher obstacles (lucky I didn't break anything). I never did get the supersonic hearing sound right, though. I am cracking up as I write this, folks in my neighborhood must have thought I was one CRAZY kid!

2. I am an absolute Disco and 80's fanatic! Tell me the name of your favorite song from that era, and I can probably sing the lyrics to you, word for word. Some of my favorite bands from these two era's - Abba (YES, ABBA!), Duran Duran, The Police. If you were to ride with me in my car, you would quickly notice that in addition to my christian radio and CD's I have a collection of 70's and 80's compilation CD's. My absolute guilty pleasure!

3. While in college, I had the priviledge of singing with a group of jazz musicians who moonlighted as college professors. (HA). Because of their connections with the University, we were to selected to open for the Concert under the Stars at UC Irvine for Tony Bennett! It was a magical experience for me, and one I will never forget. I remember when I stepped out on the stage, that there were so many people that they looked like a blanket of humanity stretched out as far as the eye could see. I was so nervous that my knees literally knocked together during the first song. But after the first song ended, the audience actually applauded! It was a thunderous sound, and it was literally intoxicating. After that, I got through the set with such ease and I had a blast. I even got a "great job, kid" from Mr. Bennett as he entered his limousine after the concert. Priceless!

4. For an extended period of time during my early twenties, I was actually convinced that I was going to marry Prince! Looking back on it, at the time I just thought I was one of his BIGGEST fans. In this day and age, they have a new name for it. STALKER.

5. When I was born, I had a hearing loss so profound that the doctors advised my parents that I would need to learn sign language, and be able to lip read. They also felt that I would have a very pronounced speech impediment, and that I would have to have these skills in order for people to understand me, and have the ability to communicate. I didn't speak a word for the first three years of my life. One day, as my mother was cleaning the house, she heard a child singing the Sesame Street song, and thought that she had left the television on. When she walked into the room and glanced at the TV, the screen was blank. Puzzled, she looked at me, and to her complete astonishment, the child singing was me.

Today, I wear hearing aids, but doctors are completely baffled, because I do not have a speech impediment, and I have PERFECT PITCH. If you play a note on a piano, I can tell you what note it is. If you want to know the particular key of any piece of music, I can tell you that key. I can't count the number of doctors and medical specialists who look at the results of the hearing tests, and then shake their heads as they listen to me speak. I have no idea why this is, I just know that I am blessed, and very grateful for the ability to hear music. Music is my PASSION.

Well, there are five additional things about me, that you probably wouldn't have known otherwise. I now tag:

"2008 Is Gonna Be Great!"

2007-12-25T17:45:17Z

"2008 is gonna be great!" Corny saying but it is true, for me. I believe that we can attract the things in our life that we want, by choosing to believe in the things that we want for our future.

This is actually based in biblical truth, as the word of God tells us in Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". So we choose to believe in what we can't see, knowing that having faith will bring these hopes to reality.

Many people have been fascinated by "The Secret". The principle is that the law of attraction is at work in our lives. If you really believe something about your life, about your future, you bring it to pass, either through your positive or negative thoughts.

What you choose to believe about 2008 is going to be what 2008 is for you. I choose to believe that 2008 is going to be a phenomenal year for me, and I believe it so much, that I have my family members walking around the house saying "2008 is gonna be great!"

You cannot listen to the negativity that goes on inside your head, and expect your year to be any different, much less your next week. Stop listening to the negative, we have enough of that in our every day lives, and we dodge the negativity bombs as much as possible.

I choose to believe that this will be my best year EVER.

I choose to believe that "2008.....is gonna be great!"

The song I chose to share in this post is called the "The Voice Of Truth" by Casting Crowns. I hope you enjoy it, and I look forward to hearing about how 2008 turned out for you. I know I'll look forward to sharing how mine turned out, and referring to this post!

First Time Home Buyers: Find Down Payment Assistance Programs

2007-12-15T16:32:40Z

As a First Time Home Buyer, you have probably weighed all of the options of buying v.s. renting your own home, and you've come to the conclusion that buying a home is still a great investment into your future.

In my series for First Time Home Buyers, I have outlined the steps that you should take to ensure that your first home purchase is a smooth transaction. If you have been following the steps, you know that it is very important to know what you can afford. You also know that you will have a distinct advantage in purchasing your new home, if you've taken the time to get pre-qualified, or better yet, pre-approved.

If you are like many other First Time Home Buyers, you might have concerns about the down payment, and the closing costs.

If you live in Oregon and you are in the low to moderate income range, Oregon Housing and Community Services offers many options to assist you in your goal of home ownership.

Some of these services include down payment assistance programs. Here's one that you can research:

Home Purchase Assistance Program (HPAP): This is a state wide program, targeted specifically toward down payment and closing cost assistance.

Home Purchase Assistance Program Brochure

Home Purchase Assistance Program Brochure - En Espanol

Program Income Limits (Opens in an excel file)

The Department of Housing and Urban Development also offers many helpful resources for the First Time Home Buyer who lives in Oregon. You can find those resources here.

If you would like additional information, assistance or a referral to a lender who specializes in any of the programs you have read about, please send me an email, or you are always welcome to give me a call.

"Til He Appeared, And The Soul Knew It's Worth"

2007-12-11T13:05:14Z

2006 was an awesome year for me in so many ways. The Lord had been very good to me, and had blessed me in almost ever way imaginable.

I had studied for, and passed the Real Estate Exam. I already a company that wanted to hire me as an agent.

I was looking forward to leaving behind a successful sales career, in which I had grown weary, and burned out.

I was so excited about the prospect of truly stepping out in faith, and following a direction that I had heard God call me to. Venturing out into to unknown. Knowing that I would have to trust God to lead me, and surrenduring myself to his will.

As the holidays drew near, I was in a real funk, and I couldn't put my finger on the reason why I would feel so sad. I felt like a true scrooge, because no matter how I tried, I couldn't shake the sadness I felt.

As I drove to the company that I worked for at the time, I turned on the radio, to the Christian Station that I always listen to. Listening to a Christian Radio station has always been very healing for me, a quiet time where I can pray, and focus on Him. Our time. No cell phone, no interruptions.

I can't begin to count the number of times that I have receive dthe answer to a prayer, through a broadcasted sermon, or a song.

While I was listening to the radio, I began to pray for God to show me the reason for my sadness, and during my prayer, a listener called in to the radio station and began to talk about the song "O, Holy Night." She explained how the words had really touched her heart, and requested that the song be played.

Something in her voice made me stop praying, and I listened to her testimony, as the song began to play. I hat to admit it, but as many times as I have heard this song, that day was the first time that I really heard the words.

As I listened, the words of the song began to truly minister to my sadness.

Long lay the world in sin and error pining,

Till He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

As I heard these words, I begin to weep. I apologized to God for forgetting what the season, the season of our saviours birth was truly about. I apologized to him for taking his blessings for granted. For just expecting him to hand me everything I asked for.

I remembered the day that I was truly saved. How grateful I was for having someone love me enough, that they would lay down their life for mine. I remember the day that my soul felt its worth.

In that alone time with Him, my joy was restored.

2007 has been an interesting year. I have lacked for nothing, and gained so much more. Character, strength, trust. It has been very scary at times, and I have been filled with fear. We have struggled at times, but, God has never failed me. He has rewarded me with much more than money could ever buy.

A knowledge of my worth, in his eyes. And that is priceless.

Here is the song - Enjoy! And may God bless your holiday season, pressed down, shaken together, and running over with his grace.

Invincible! Driving to the "heart" of motivation

2007-12-10T15:21:03Z

How motivation and determination made one man's dream, a reality.

Based on a true story, this story takes place in the summer of 1976, and Vince Papale is a 30 year old bartender, who is down on his luck, and running out of options.

His wife leaves him, telling him that he'll never amount to anything, and that he will never make a name for himself.

The new coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Dick Vermeil announces that he will hold open tryouts for the team, and at the urging of his friends, Vince reluctantly answers the call, having no college football experience, and having played football for only a year in high school.

Overcoming almost impossible odds, Vince makes the cut, and goes on to play three seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.

While I watched this movie with my family, I thought about the many people in Real Estate and the mortgage industry, who are trying to make a living, and are making it, overcoming obstacles that look impossible to others.

What sets those people apart, from the ones that are leaving the industry, and looking for work elsewhere?

Is it determination? The drive to succeed against all odds?

When Vince Papale made the Philadelphia Eagles, he had an opportunity to achieve something that many have dreamed of, but have never achieved. When the big day arrived, and it was time for him to stand and deliver, he froze. He could have blown the opportunity of a lifetime, and could have been cut, but he wasn't.

Coach Vermeil believed that Vince Papale had something that he could build a team around. What was it that made Coach Vermeil decide to put his neck on the line for someone who didn't have the background, the experience, or the finesse of the finest athletes he could have chosen to play for the Philadelphia Eagles?

What Vince Papale had was guts, and heart. Despite the fact that the veterans on the team refused to accept him, despite the fact that he was told to quit numerous times, Vince Papale persevered.

Just like professional football, our industry is not for the faint at heart. It is one thing to take a hit, and get tackled in a friendly neighborhood game of touch football, but the hits get much harder at a higher level and standard. The talent, the skills, and the competition for the successful in any industry are at a higher standard than the average.

Are you performing at the very best that you can perform, giving it your all? Is your heart in it?

I highly recommend this movie, it will really make you think! Here is the movie trailer:

First Time Home Buyers - Get A Home Inspection

2007-12-05T13:56:16Z

Congratulations! Now that you have made an offer You are on a fast track to owning your first home! But your work is not complete. In order to protect yourself, and your investment, you need to order a complete home inspection, prior to closing on the home.
Why is a home inspection important? A Home inspection is crucial because you should make sure that the home you intend to buy is in good condition.
Several years ago, the actor Tom Hanks did a movie called "The Money Pit". The story centers around a couple who buy a beautiful home, one that they consider to be the home of their dreams. It is highly unlikely that they had a home inspection done, as problem after expensive problem begins to surface. For every dime they spend to resolve one issue, another expensive issue would appear, hence the movie's title "The Money Pit"
Although the story is fictional, the movie could serve as a precautionary tale of what NOT to do when buying a home. The circumstances in the movie can be a harsh reality if a home inspection is not done prior to closing.
Spending a couple hundred dollars on a home inspection could in fact, save you thousands of dollars down the road. It could also prevent you from purchasing a home that just isn't as good as it looks.
A home inspection evaluates the condition of a home through the eyes of a trained expert. A qualified inspector will take an impartial look at the property you want to buy, and provide you with a written report of findings, usually within five to seven days.
Here are a few links for you to go to, for more in depth information about what you can expect from a home inspection:

For Your Protection Get A Home Inspection
10 Important Questions To Ask Your Home Inspector
Remember, a home inspection will reveal things about the home that the eye cannot see. Protect yourself, and know the facts about the home you intend to buy before you make it final.
