christianity and real estate: A Realtor Experience - 12/06/10 01:40 PM
OK, so the deal did NOT go through because at the last minute_________________________(YOU fill in the blank!) You were tasting that money weren't you? Your plans were to pay that bill, stock up on supplies, get someone a gift, etc.... (Of course, it NEVER entered your mind to do something for yourself, right?)
Now, if THAT wasn't enough, you get a call from your wonderfully faithful & loyal seller asking you to please cancel the listing because: ___________________________(YOU fill in the blank!)
No problem, you've adjusted yourself to this before, so again, with a shrug of the shoulders, retrospective thinking, and a water-under-the-bridge-outlook, you … (24 comments)

christianity and real estate: What NOT To Bring Into The NEW Year... B L A M E !! - 12/31/09 04:08 AM
Blame points a finger, finds fault, and searches to criticize someone or something for having differing methods or ideas. The one doing the blaming usually has no mercy toward the accused.
And, just WHO is to BLAME?
The President we y'all elected - it's HIS fault! NO - It was the PAST president's fault! The Republicans - THEY are the ones! (Just ask the Democrats) NOPE! It was the Democrats! (Just ask the Republicans) Wall Street - It's their fault! Nah! - Main Street! Sub-Prime Mortgages - those greedy lenders are responsible! Those REALTORS®! They are to blame! Nope - … (39 comments)

christianity and real estate: Shouldn't We Be Forgiving While We Are Thanking? - 11/27/09 11:56 PM
Expressions of gratitude are poured out from homes and gatherings all over America annually, on the last Thursday in November. A spirit of fellowship is suspended in the atmosphere.... permeating, lingering, and being celebrated, as lengthy orations of thanks are exchanged.
It's Thanksgiving Day! A time set aside to remember the goodness of God who has faithfully provided us with nourishment, protection, clothing, shelter, family, our freedoms, and our country.
The Holiday, a festive occasion most commonly shared with relatives breaking bread together around the dining room table is hungrily anticipated! We bow our heads in prayer to thank God, and … (15 comments)

christianity and real estate: FEAR - Does It Have YOU On The Run? - 11/25/09 01:33 AM
We've all experienced that nagging feeling of doom. It usually happens after hearing about or seeing negative news that occurred or was dreamt about. We respond different ways...
Heart skips a beat or two & sweat appears on forehead An anguished cry erupts from the mouth We run, or hide, or both We stand, unmoving in shock and awe We wring hands, pull at hair, or shake head in unbelief We open our mouths, gasp, then place hands over it We call someone asking for prayer We check the news - or other sources to verify We DO something... We DO nothing..., etc. The hearing of bad news causes a "grip of … (15 comments)

christianity and real estate: Regrets? Mistakes? Here's An Opportunity To TOSS Them!! - 10/30/09 11:31 AM
Have you ever done something that was STOOPID? Not stupid.... STOOPID!! Stoopid is a dumb thing you did but didn't know it was dumb until you looked back. When you did, all you wanted to do was to hide, and stoop as to not bring attention to onlookers that YOU were the one who did it! Did you wish, "if ONLY i could do it all over again... i'd do it differently!!" Bummer! Instead you keep kicking self in butt... stewing over it time and time again!
GOOD NEWS!! Your redemption time is here! How so? Pile up ALL of your mistakes, regrets, and stoopid … (12 comments)

christianity and real estate: Are you LED or LEAD? - 10/23/09 08:42 PM
Of all the things i love about my husband, it's his "I will NOT be moved" spirit that gains my highest regard toward him. In our fifteen years of marriage, there has not been a single regret that can be attributed to the decisions he's had to make for our well being, and it's been because of his relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
When challenges presented itself, what did he do? NOT A THING... until he received clearance and directives from God! Before learning of his ways, i used to stand on my head.... to NO avail! He had no empathy for my … (17 comments)

christianity and real estate: Loving the HELL Out Of Your Enemies - 10/10/09 11:26 AM
Do you have enemies? OF COURSE you do... they are everywhere... even in the Rain! Seriously, Active Rain? Really? NO!!! Couldn't be... for we are a group of professionals seeking to get our brand out to the public! We work TOGETHER don't we? We LOVE one another.... there are NO haters here!!!
Upon closer examination, you will find that PEOPLE THEMSELVES are not haters....a human is not your enemy.... a person is just a body, a shell, a container, a conveyor, and that's all. It's what is allowed to fester inwardly that is the poison! In simple infantile language.... it's WHAT YOU ARE FULL OF!
Whatever you're grubbing upon will surface.... and whoever is … (22 comments)

This is being written to help encourage BELIEVERS. Come on now, saints.... God PROMISED you'd have tribulations upon this earth!! However, He also gave you a SURE WORD you can count on.... be of GOOD CHEER, for He has overcome the world!!
Just WHERE did you hide your faith? Go pick it back up - for you will need it in these trying times!! Don't you know it's a GOOD fight He's asked you to fight? Well, now, if you are cowering in some corner, afraid to enter into the ring, you'd never find out just how much of an OVERCOMER God … (26 comments)

christianity and real estate: GOD Should NOT Be Deprived Of HIS Praise Because Of What You Are Facing! - 06/09/09 03:17 AM
Many are facing challenges never met before, including me. It's a shaking that is intensely felt, and affects every move taken. If we are not watchful, we will resort to rehearsing our fears and accenting despair and hopelessness. These testing times are sobering. We walk them out with humility, and with an increased awareness of our frailty, depending totally upon God's faithfulness to deliver us.
It's a "cross" walk that takes us on an examining journey. No one else can stand in proxy for us. It has to be faced and overcome alone. It's a dying. The pain is indescribable... you just … (24 comments)

christianity and real estate: Solutions To Section 8 For Believers (Part 3 of a Series) - 05/03/09 04:35 PM
In part 1 and part 2, some of the truths of the hindering dependencies on Section 8 were uncovered. Not all can receive this word, for it is targeted for the believer in God, not religious "church-goers", but for those who have heeded the call to follow Jesus by faith.
There is a manner in which God wants His people to walk.... FREE from the systems of this world. None of us have totally arrived, for the transforming work is a progress as we yield to the unction of the Holy Spirit and obey. When God called His people out of … (10 comments)

christianity and real estate: STAND WITH ME FOR TLW - Calling On All Of You That Have Faith! - 03/14/09 07:17 PM
IF you have faith in Jesus, I am asking you to stand in AGREEMENT PRAYER for Active Rain's TLW:
This is her post: http://activerain.com/blogsview/979667/FearFalse-Evidence-Appearing-RealROAR
BUT THIS IS OUR PRAYER:
Father, in the name of Jesus, we lift up Your daughter to You with all humility and gratefulness, knowing that You are a God who hears and answers prayers, granting us access to You. We first ask that You would have mercy, and extend Your grace that lovingly covers every sickness, disease, ailment, affliction, and attack.
We thank You for the Blood of Jesus that was shed, and the power of the stripes borne … (41 comments)

christianity and real estate: TUNE in, LISTEN.... Then OBEY - 02/09/09 09:32 AM
We plan our day the night before, carefully deciding what we will wear, making conscious effort not to select an outfit similar to what we donned the previous time we attended a certain event. Mentally, we have rehearsed what we'll say. The necessary materials are all arranged that we will take with us; perhaps a listing presentation, the bank statement, copy of minutes from the last meeting, CMA report, etc. (depending upon the mission).
The day arrives! We are in anticipation of carrying out our appointment, and we have begun with prayer, thanking God first, asking Him for a successful presentation, … (17 comments)

christianity and real estate: Can YOU See Through The Smoke? - 01/20/08 11:22 AM
Yesterday, we sought a place to meet in an area where we were viewing new property. Our clients were not familiar with the area, so we selected The Riverdale Marina, the place where the Riverdale Chamber of Commerce hosts most of their membership meetings.
This was our first meeting with three new clients who each had separate needs for property management and listing services. I had only spoken on the phone just one day prior to the appointed time. They drove together in one vehicle from a distance of an hour away. My husband volunteered to accompany me, as we had … (30 comments)

christianity and real estate: Speaking Real Estate DOOM? - 10/16/07 09:10 PM
Ever hear someone say....
My feet are killing me.. I'm just dying to see ____________ I think i'm coming down with the flu I think i'm catching a cold! The Real Estate Market is BAD!! Now, in visualizing the above, can you imagine a pair of feet taking hold around someones neck and strangling them? How about going to see a favorite singer, and after taking a look, just dropping down dead! Imagine running as hard as you can to catch up with the fast-as-lightening-moving common "cold"? Have you seen the Real Estate Market standing in the corner with a dunce cap on it's head … (54 comments)

christianity and real estate: The "Difference" - 10/01/07 07:37 AM
Being a believer in GOD makes a huge difference when it comes to Real Estate. With the market place experiencing times of unsteadiness, there is an assurance one can have in the midst of these worldwide changes. A Believer has GOD'S SECRET.
A believer has the LORD to turn to, lean upon, and hope in. And because HE never fails, one will not have to grope in the darkness, wondering what they will do. One's faith in HIM gives confidence that HIS Word is true regarding what HE has promised! One of a multitude of affirmations, asserts, HE will NEVER leave … (27 comments)

christianity and real estate: The Wisdom of this world is.... FOOLISHNESS! - 08/10/07 10:35 PM
The "wisdom of this world" is FOOLISHNESS says GOD, the Creator of it! God even uses the most foolish things to confound man.... HE has even used a speaking ass just to show the folly of it all! Solomon, whom GOD pronounced as the "wisest and richest man who ever lived" finally concluded after searching the world over.... that "ALL is vanity".... E V E R Y T H I N G!
Now, the FEAR OF THE LORD.... it's the beginningof WISDOM.... (GOD's wisdom) but fools, the scriptures say, DESPISE IT! (In other words.... they loathe doing things GOD's way... and hate those that do!) They … (30 comments)

christianity and real estate: HOMES in the SPIRIT - 07/21/07 12:05 PM
Before land materialized, it was first "in the SPIRIT" prior to being "spoken into existence." This is true with anything.... it has to be conceived, before the birthing.
The "land" was placed here in it's manifested state prior to man's arrival, and purposed for man's future habitation. As REALTORS, we have a responsibility to keep it real with clients seeking the home designated for them. We have the privilege of being able to assist in ushering them to their piece of "heaven on earth!" What an arduous task ahead for us! How can this be done successfully? For the answer, let us go to … (10 comments)
