I dont journal much. Only when I have time. But this one - I must. So that, days, months and years from now - when I get discouraged and burnt out from this job (at points in my career), I have this to remind me of Why I do What I do.
Two nights (Friday) ago, we invited some new friends over to hang out and get to know them better. Melody asked, "How do you know that real estate is your calling?". I answered, "I didnt hear God's audible voice but I know that's what He had nudged me in my heart".
Last night (Saturday), we invited a past client over to dinner to catch up. I've known this client-turned-f
riend since our transaction in 2010. We talked and had a great time and one of the best conversations I will ever remember.
They talked about how they joined a home group at church and they were doing a Bible Study together called, "Open Doors". In that she said,
"Sometimes you dont realize the opportunities you have as you are walking through that open door."
And he said,
"Who would have knew that buying a house would change my life... From that, I came to church, learned and grow, get married and now .... (pointing at his wife)".
If I never sold another piece of real estate, I know deep in my heart - that real estate is just my platform for people to connect to the Kingdom. For when God told me that my "Mission field is in Frisco Texas". He was not joking - that He has lots for my husband and I to do - for a time such as this.
Thank you Lord for showing us last night that in the midst of this craziness, that what we do does make a difference!
