I'm a better Realtor today

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with 3:16 team REALTY ~ Locally-owned Prosper TX Real Estate Co. #9001154

I was about to lose the sight on my left-eye, just recovering from an auto-accident, just began this new real estate career and trying to figure all of it out were when I was at the lowest point at my life.

At the very same time, it was also the best time of my life

I stumbled upon this book called the Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren where it provided me alot of answers I was seeking.  That I was created for a purpose and the purpose was good. And that I was a child of God and that I was loved, regardless of what circumstances I put myself in.

I took that journey some 10+ years ago. 

Looking back, I'll never change the lowest point of my life. Because that's the time I discovered God.

Today, I'm a better wife, a better mom, a better friend and a better Realtor because of my walk this past decade and I'm proud of the decision I made.

No one could tell whom I was, what was inside me and couldn't really see my thoughts.

I'm still learning, taking on my daily cross as I learn to be an even better wife, mom, friend and a better Realtor. 

Happy Sunday everyone!

Happy Sunday to you too!  I think we all have stories that are in line with yours.  We're all better today than we were before.  At least I hope that's the case.

Thank you for sharing Loreena. We had a wonderful message during our service today and it reinforced something I needed to hear, He is sufficient!

Hi Loreena,

We can only truly hear God when we are still. During our lowest moments that's when God gets a chance to have a heart to heart chat with us.

Continue to keep near to God...

Loreena, I have read the Purpose Driven Life and the Purpose Driven Church.  I'm glad that you found something to inspire you and encourage you during that low time.

God brings us closer to him through trials. At that point in time, we only see the negative, but looking back we can see Gods hand in our lives. Thanks for sharing!

It is amazing how God uses the darkest times in our live to teach us, disipline us and change our course. He is less concerned with our comfort and more concerned with our character as He prepares us for the eternal life we are intended to live. Thanks for sharing!
