Back To Basics, Again

A few months ago the Spirit of the Lord was telling me to start going back to the office business meetings on Monday mornings.  I was disobedient and continued to make excuses for not going.  I began to lose total interest in what I thought I loved, and that was being a real estate agent and helping people become homeowners. 

In the beginning of my career I was totally engulfed with being an agent.  This year, during the so-called "economic crisis", my hopes and dreams of staying in the business totally deteriorated and I decided to look for a "real job."  I had been struggling with the decision for several months and I could never seem to find a job.  (Well, I really wasn't that gung-ho about finding one either). 

 My Broker calls me and asked me if I was going to continue to stay in the business or become a Referral Agent.  She also advised me about "getting back to basics."  The things I use to do when I originally became an agent.   She stated that I should also start coming back to business meetings.   Making a long story short, I told her I would make the decision by the end of June, after my birthday, June 29.  On June 22, I went to the business meeting.   The Spirit of the Lord was saying, and continued saying, "If you take one small step I will take two." 

Now, REALTOR dues are due June 30.  My children (2) are going to their Regional Track Meet in Maryland on July 9-12, and it cost $325.00 per child.  Wow, I could use the money I have in hand for dues to pay for at least one of the kids.   That was my full intention.

Tuesday, June 30 with money in hand, my car seemed to just drive itself to the Cobb Association of Realtors office.  I go in to pay the $362.00.  I was talking with the administrator and giving her money for dues.   I told her that I did not know why and how I got over here because I could use this money else where.  The whole time the Spirit was saying, "The provision has already been made."

After I returned home, I immediately started going over new contracts and other things pertaining to real estate matters.  I just started getting back to basics.  On Thursday, July 2, I received a call from a young lady who "said" she was ready to purchase a home.  We spoke for several moments and I had my Lender contact her.  In about 15 minutes he called me back, emailed the approval letter, and said she is ready, willing, and able.

I am so thankful that I listened to the voice of God.  I advise those of you who have been in a slump for a while and want to continue in this business to get back to basics.  Begin trusting God and what He has already promised you.  When you take one small step He will take two big steps. 

Our basics as Christians are Seeking God First, Prayer, Fasting, Meditating On Gods Word, and Showing Love and Kindness to ALL.  Be encouraged and always remember that there is no "lack in God" and there is certainly no "economic-crisis" for His children.  "Be Still and Know that I AM GOD" - Psalm 46:10.  Be blessed.
