Prayer Works: Homeownership is near

So, this past weekend my sister and I went condo searching with my realtor and found a banging hot jawn. After reviewing it, my sister was like "we want it....put an offer down on that one." In my head I was like "we", nah but you know! On the train ride home I was praying that God have his way, and also that his way be this unit under my ownership.

Anyway after moms dukes and pops seen it, it was official I put in that offer, but check the process.

Initially I was going to put down an offer I was slightly uncomfortable with, but people convinced me that anything lower would be so unreasonable and almost immediately rejected. After talking to Mike B., my brotha, and then finally my moms best friend who owned and is selling a condo. I was confident that I would and should go lower to a number I was comfortable. Plus I assured my spirit that I was willing and ready to step away from this unit if things didn't work out (i.e. they wanted more $ than I was comfortable giving). And then right before I went to sleep, I wanted to research some more, and I found a similar unit in the same complex with the same amenitities and nice pics for a SIGNIFICANTLY low price. Even a little lower than mine. This made me feel even more comfortable with my figure. So after my parents visit, I signed away a number I was comforable with. (That unit priced lower, I found out had a deposit on it and was in the process of being sold, but still...). I prayed again that God have his way and that his way included this unit for my price or somewhere I could feel comfortable with.

And guess what after leaving my realtor, she and I both realized I forgot to give her the check to seal the offer. So I had to fax it to her when I got home....and then....my fax machine just wouldn't work (even after my pops using it fine yesterday). So I used my neighbors machine.

The next morning I get message from my realtor saying her fax machine wasn't working. STRANGE

And then another call during the evening, saying that my realtor sent the offer several times, but the agent she was sending it too, never received it.....And then the agent lost her cell phone....Yeah crazy

So this mornging my realtor suggested we hold off on the offer not just because of the EXTREMEMLY weird circumstances, but also because ANOTHER unit same complex, similar amenities, was newly listed. Lower price than the original one I put an offer down, but a little higher than my comfortable max. But the buying process is about negiotating. So pray for me on that one.

BTW: everytime my realtor contacted me, my heart stopped. And several times she called and the call dropped, so I was/am on edge kinda

But now we're going to see that new unit on Thursday. And put the offer on pause until I find out about this new unit.

So to put this in an eternal perspective and use an spiritual understanding to debrief this entire process, one should notice where GOD had his hand in this entire process all the way. What would've happened if I would have put down the first number that I was uncomfortable with, but advised to go with (I don't know). But I know after speaking to wise counsel with a similar spiritual understanding and divine perspective, I was reassured what God had intended for me was much different than what the world can define, constrain, or determine.

Through it all, I felt a very similar feeling like when man said I shouldn't apply to certain colleges, or that I should look to continue my higher education at york college, or even that I wouldn't get an internship or job with my previous GPA. Dag! God had my back on mad occassions if you look at it. He just be telling people to SHUTUP everytime they speak against his plan, silently, and less arroganly than shutup, but still He proves them wrong each time.

This is why I believe and why I seek righteousness and love, because I constantly find life, prosperity, and honor. I'm in an extremely BLESSED situation and will remain patience and in accordance to His will and plan. And trust me I am ssssssoooo anxious to reduce my 4hr/day commute. But I'm ready and willing to do what ever He says I gotta do. Even that means another month of this HORRIBLE, please don't let it be dad, commute. But I am ready.

You should try to notice points in your life where people told you otherwise from what your spirit told you. And for the future, pray that His will be done and follow ya heart (wow, so cliche), but really sometimes ya brain convinces ya heart to feel a certain way, so you really gotta listen closely. My spirit is speaking louder nowadays. And the more you're in tune to God's will, the louder your spirit will speak.

With that said pray works. If I listed all the things I prayed for and received yall would be slightly jealous, but remember...proverbs 21:21....pursue love and righteousness, and you'll get life, prosperity, and honor...and be blessed,
