August 24, 2015 - Give Us This Day our Daily Bread

August 24, 2015

Let me be clear: This is NOT a blog about business success.  It is NOT a blog about Financial Wealth or a particular company.  This IS a blog about my narrative - my story.  As I unpack this 6 year journey, there will be times that I speak about a particular experience or experiences that brought about radical growth.  Just keep in mind to not fixate on particular destinations but rather the journey.

So to pick up, I felt an inner pull from God to dive into Real Estate.  I obeyed, passed my test and chose the company I would be working with.  On my first day, I was introduced to this company Keller Williams of which I knew absolutely nothing about.  The next several months was spent watching a ton of videos and reading blogs of successful Realtors and their best practices.  I also reached out to any agent that had listings and asked if I could host Open Houses for them. I attended a course called BOLD which dramatically changed my view on how impacting Real Estate an be if you are willing to commit to time and consistency.  I lived by the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them due unto you."  That kindness paid off and within the first 2 months, I had my first home under contract!

I felt empowered, encouraged and ENTHUSIASTIC that this idea was going to actually bring about a check.  I got a check just for helping people!  FANTASTIC!  Plus I realized, if I can do this once...I can do this thousands of times.  And God was opening doors with almost every client to pray over them and sometimes minister when times got rough.  I wasn't shoving the Gospel in their faces. I just looked for times when God was present and took the ball from there. Little by little, with each client and transaction, my faith was restoring.

I still didn't really feel anything.  I wasn't feeling the power an presence of God as I had throughout my life.  Yet, for the first time, I saw a pinhole of light which was the light at the end of the tunnel. God had a LOT more work to do in me.  This was how God meets our needs and sometimes calls us into a foreign field in order to teach us and grow.

In the Lord's Prayer it says, "Give us this day our daily bread..."

Until Next Time -
