Join us as we share our incredible journey of buying our first home, a true example of divine provision and a miracle in the making. We had been navigating the often complex and frustrating house buying process, but our experience was one of God's blessings and a demonstration of how God gave us a house that He had for us all along and felt meant to be.

We had been navigating the home buying process for a while, and after looking at this house, it went contingent, leaving us wondering if it was still meant to be. As first time home buyers, we were learning about the closing process, home sale contingency, and the intricacies of the house buying process. But we held on to our faith, believing in the miraculous provision that had brought us this far.

Our story is one of miracles, a real estate miracle that showcases how God's provision can work in our lives. From the initial search to the final closing, our home buying journey was filled with moments of wonder and awe, reminding us of the power of faith and trust in the process. We are thrilled to share our experience as first time homeowners, and we hope that it will inspire and encourage others who are going through the same journey, trusting in God can make even the most impossible situations seem possible.

Our miracle home buying story is a reminder that God still does miracles and leads you if you let Him. God blessed us with this home, and we are grateful for the journey that led us here.

Are you stuck waiting? Feeling like you are stuck in a waiting season can be frustrating & understandably discouraging as well. Being stuck waiting is something that has a way of etching away at you like water etching away at a rock. The longer you wait, the more excruciating it becomes. That pain pushes you to feeling like you aren't going to make it, that you are going to break beyond recovery, & that you are in it all alone. I am very familiar with these feelings & this sort of isolation, & if you made it this far into this description, then I know you can relate to these feelings & experiences too. But, I am here to let you know that waiting doesn't have to feel this way. There is a positive side to the waiting, even if you can't see it now. You will make it through, & the other side will be worth it. Let's get through this waiting together, for the better.

Do you ever feel like your life is on hold but you don't know why? Do you feel like you are waiting to do the things you love, but you find yourself waiting for everything to be 'just right' first? You aren't alone in the waiting or in these feelings.

I've spent a lot of my life doing this sort of 'waiting' & I regret how much time has been lost. In the midst of waiting, I deprived myself of doing the things I love & care about. As well as missing out on precious time with loved ones. I don't quite know when the waiting began for me, or why I even began waiting in the first place. But I do know I was about two years old when it all began.

Now, as an adult, I've realized that I don't want to wait anymore. That there are things currently in my life that I've already waited so long for that are finally here, but I'm not fully enjoying it because I find myself waiting for something else in its place. I've found, the waiting never ends. So, I've decided that I no longer want to wait. I want to live.

Do you want to start living your life now too? If you are tired of waiting, then I hope this podcast episode speaks to you right where you are & helps you begin enjoying life where you currently are, as well as the things you currently have. Look around, I'm sure you will see things you have waited a long time for, even worked really hard for, &just now realize you currently have them in your life now. So let's start enjoying those things right now. Let's start living right now, together.

In my life, highs & lows have always been drastic. They have felt as though they could destroy me & that it was only a matter of time. But in those experiences, I have gotten a different view of Jesus & who He is to the lost, hurting, & the broken. In this video, I share some of my story on how Jesus changed my life & who He has shown Himself to be in every season of my life. I hope that you know, He is here for you in whatever season of life you may find yourself to be in right now. He doesn't want to leave you where you are. He wants to change your life, just as He has changed mine. Will you let Him?
