Three Great Days

Hello.
Quick update - Thursday evening Greg and I attended Saddleback's Night of Worship - WOW - and prayer for healing. I felt so refreshed. The unrelenting pain in my right hip diminished. Friday was even better and I had a good day showing a couple of properties. Saturday morning, I attended our small group Bible study at Sonja's home. We had a great time in the word and prayer for one another. Today, I am still going strong and do not have any hip pain! Please continue to pray and stand in faith with me for healing and wisdom, as well as work with an offer and opening escrow on Via Zapador, 2 more listings, and I hope to get the lease listing on a 5 bedroom in Mission Viejo.

THANK YOU

God is answering prayers!
Thank you for continuing to pray!
I have been feeling good. Yesterday, I listed 42 Via Zapador.


On January 28, 2015, I asked for 60 days of prayer! In just two weeks, I began to receive God's blessings in my life and business.

I completed training for Celebrate Recovery Leadership at Saddleback Church. I truly enjoyed my trip to Florida and time with my kids. I was able to care for Payton and Emma over night, spend a day at Universal Studios with their family, and attended many of the Keller Williams seminars.


During the seminar, I had help creating updated real estate sign with the newer KW logo! What do you think?

I'm asking for prayer to receive God's healing in my right hip and energy to complete all God wants for me to be doing and the resources to bless others. Please continue to stand in faith with me believing God for a quick closing on current listing AND two more listings with closed sales in the next three months. As you stand in faith praying for me - know I am standing with you - lifting your requests to the Throne Room! I LOVE YOU!

Why did God allow this to happen?

I woke up this morning with a profound sense of "Why God?"
While spending time wondering WHY - and asking, "WHY did God allow this to be in my life?" I came up with some logical reasons such as;
that's life, we live in a broken world, everyone experiences difficulties...

BUT really deep down I question the logic - God loves me, God is sovereign and Romans 8:28 says all things work together for the good of those who love Him - right? SO, tell me the REAL REASON for the problems in my life --- I want to know MY - WHY?

WHY do I have limitations that most people do not experience; challenging day to day health problems - fatigue and at times limited mobility.
WHY did my grandchild have birth defects and why did we experience the loss of a precious baby (Harold lived for less than one hour)?

THEN I looked up Romans 8:28 and I read something very different! >
- In all things, God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good —
"hmmm".

My conclusion: Life is not about why! AND problems are not about me!
Today, MY ONE THING: I will be aware of God's presence and love for everyone in my life.

Today, I pledge to work with God to bring love, hope, healing, joy and peace to this broken world.

Orlando and Keller Williams Family Reunion

This week, I'm taking advantage of a wealth of information from our premiere real estate agents at the KW Family Reunion in Orlando Florida. Today I enjoyed the topic on trends in real estate marketing - WHAT NOT TO DO. I've never been interested in mailing cards and flyers that go into the trash bin - I prefer to go GREEN and save trees. - I have a lot to learn about internet marketing, APPs, YouTube, etc. My AMERICAN LIFESTYLES MAGAZINE has been my exception to printed materials. I enjoy the great articles, I hope you do too. If you are not on my mailing list and would like to receive yours, please let me. WHO could think of tossing prior to reading?
AND while in Orlando, I enjoyed a day at Universal Studios with my daughter, Amber, her husband, Nick and grandchildren Emma and Payton. We enjoyed several rides including Despicable Me and Minion Mayhem, Shrek -4D, ET Adventure and Woody Woodpecker's roller coaster. Not to mention the crazy show FEAR FACTOR. During the second challenge - a large slimy octopus landed on Emma's wheel of her chair - she quickly pushed her chair away - as if to say - YUCK - I'm not getting near that thing!

MORE THAN Survive but THRIVE - Five Years

I woke up today feeling blessed as I thought of you. A dear friend of mine reminded me that my days of weaknesses lend more compassion toward you during the challenges you face. I know some of you are facing a difficult day. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Perhaps my weakness can become your strength. I sure hope so, because you really do matter to me.
Today my share is about - MORE THAN Survive - THRIVE - the past Five Years! No, Greg and I have not been married for FIVE years and Greg certainly has not complicated my life. However, FIVE years ago, I left my position as a school psychologist and FIVE Years ago a very special little girl entered into our world, Emma Lou Rose Foster. She was born on February 11th, 2010. This when I began the blog - WHEN LIFE GETS COMPLICATED.
I can not believe it has been FIVE years since her birth at UCSF. Since her birth, she has endured and recovered from several surgeries due to Spina Bifida. We have seen many miracles in her life! Please continue to pray for Emma as she is scheduled for another surgery on March 19. > I am praying for her complete ability to stand and walk with minimal support. She is one amazing little girl.
After leaving my position, using FMLA family leave from work to support my daughter, Lexi, I applied for Long-Term-Disability due to fatigue and complications from Multiple Sclerosis. Four years ago, I moved to the beautiful city of Rancho Santa Margarita located in Orange County. RSM is where I found an enjoyable life in the cooler moist air. On a path of health and healing, 3 years ago, I obtained my real estate license. As you probably know, I love Home and Garden channel and can watch Property Brothers 24 - 7! Since obtaining my license, I developed my name and marketing materials. My web pages are complete - YES - web pages! I have 6 of them if you count Facebook business pages.
I am DREAMING BIG! I hope someday in the near future to have my own brokerage in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. I believe every day we can rely on the resurrection power through Jesus Christ, I ask the Holy Spirit to bring healing strength with wisdom and direction to your life as well as my life and my real estate business. Currently, I am working toward my certificate as a Global Property Specialist. I am expecting to see amazing miracles in 2015. Thank you again for your friendship, time to read my story, prayers and faith. I truly value you. TODAY I stand in faith believing and working to keep all my promises to you and my amazing clients.
