How time flies part 2

It's amazing to me that a year has past since I closed on my home, so many things changed in that year, so many lessons I learned.

The following day I closed on my house I went into my job and quit. Yes, quite a bold and stupid move, you just buy a house and then you quit your job? See here's this crazy faith thing again, I got going on.

I hated my job, when I took it I knew it wasn't the right thing to do but I listen to my head (about the money) and not my heart (my intuition) worst decision I ever made. I was so unhappy I would cry when I got off the exit, I would sit in the parking lot and mediate with white lights around me so that I didn't take in all of her negative energy and demeaning, belittling remarks to me and everyone else around her. I broke out in hives because she so reminded me of my ex who put me down at every opportunity, no, it didn't matter, if God could give me this house, he would take care of me with another job.

I gave my two week notice and she said I could leave now...yeah merry Christmas to me!  I was so happy I couldn't see straight not only did I get a house for Christmas but I no longer had to go to this misrable job anymore, what a Christmas gift!

And so my adventure began, I started a total rehab on my new house. Being a single women and trying to rehab a home is tough, alot of people want to take advantage of you even people from your own church...Yes, even Christians...ohhh I said it...not all Christians are really christ like they are more Judas like.
I had a guy from church try to rip me off for 1200 for a job I ended up paying 400.00 for.

I learned to asked deep questions like when the plumber said I got you, which in my head meant, I will do you the favor, meant in his head in will rip you off for 400.00 more on the bill.

I learned when you do good things they come back to you, as so many people stepped up to help me for things I did for them in the past. I learned that sometimes God puts you in a place for a reason, he gave me my neighbor and my friend Frank, who I wouldn't know what to do without.

He opened my eyes to the kindness of strangers who now I call friends.

I learned what hard work was, as I worked on this home every day for 30 days straight. I learned patience and the ability to wing it.
But the most important thing I've learned is that a home needs to be filled with love, joy and peace and that is why this home means the most to me...it's a home built on love, on sick faith and of peace of knowing who I am and who's I am.

So today my friends, remember there will be alot of lessons in a year, some good some not so good but lessons all the same. You need to learn and sometimes move on if that's what your heart is telling you to do. Life is too short and time flies in a blink of a eye.
