Beyond any shadow of doubt the month of September was better than the best roller coaster ride I have ever been on. No, I did not set the world on fire, no, I did not die (although I have talked to our God about it), no, I have not been in the hospital but I have been extremely busy looking for that needle in the proverbial haystack. The one I have been looking for has to do with the correct one to be able to use to pick the lock at the bank to get some money for both my clients and myself.
Working my real estate career (one of the joys in my life), plus working two other jobs to pay bills has not left me much time to share with my family in the Rain. Boy, do I ever miss that. You guys are a very special mix of interests that not being able to walk among you has been very tough. The biggest part of being able to come back for a walk in the Rain is that you all understand and there are some that understand even more.
To those more understanding people who have gone to the trouble of making contact with me, I wish to say thank you. You have no idea how special it was to be in the midst of the "stuff" going on and to hear from those of you who decided to take your heart and put feet on it to send it walking through the Rain to visit me! Having the heart that reaches out to touch another's is one of God's special gifts. For all of my family here in the Rain here is a video to say thank you.
The last week of September and these first weeks of October has made me realize why the knees on my pants having holes in them does not matter. Our God has performed miracles in the life of this REALTOR. I would like to share three of those miracles and the first two lead up to the last one which has made it possible for me to go the rest of my life with out thought of worry. Here they are in ascending order.
1: I have written 8 contracts and closed on 2 of them in the last three weeks with 3 more closing this month and the others closing by the 24th of November. All but one of them is a sure thing as financing is not going to be used. Lowest of the miracles!
2: I have a REALTOR friend who has been searching for that miracle in her life and when she came to ask me the other day why I can smile even when things are not going well, I shared our God's message with her and she heard it this time. She accepted Christ as her savior and told me later that she often wanted to hear some more of "those God stories" that I had been sharing with her. The change in her outlook in two weeks has been the second miracle.
Now for the most incredible miracle.
3: This past week I had the honor and priviledge to see my 12 year old son accept Christ into his heart and he asked me if I would baptise him. I asked him why he would ask me and not the preacher and he answered by telling me I was the spiritual head of our house and God would smile down on us as we did it. I, of course, said I would (how could I not?) only to find out he wanted to do it in front of his school mates. His school is a private Christian school and a number of students were going to be baptised. So, all said and done with tears streaming down my face, I knealt in front of God and the school to complete this part of his walk towards God. Here is one of the proudest moments of my life in picture.
Thank you for allowing me to walk in the Rain again and to share with you and for checking in with me and reminding me I have family still walking in the Rain.
