It has been a challenging year in 2022 as we waited upon the Lord to move in favour of our business. We had been waiting for Him to open the door that leads us in our business. He had said to me to leave it alone and let my husband handle things. We were anxious as we continued to press on yet nothing had materialised in our efforts BUT He has been providing for our needs and there was no lack. Yes, He was working in our lives. Looking back in 2022, I saw that He wants us to be the lamp that leads the way for others too. Basically I had spent time encouraging others in the same business and we were given the opportunity to travel abroad and spend time with another Christian couple involved in Men in the Mirror ministry.
Yet the best is yet to come when towards the end of November 2022, a sister in DUMC asked us to help another sister-in-Christ to sell her house. However, it was not His plan for us to start yet as the owner had to give time to other agents whom she had appointed earlier to complete their contract with her.
Then when we were appointed to rent and not sell the property, we were given only 3 months from January 2023, to find her a tenant. Three company banners were on the gate yet within 2 weeks the tenant had called my husband and was favourable in communicating the negotiations through him. I believe it was God’s favour that he decided to call my husband. God has brought the right tenant to our sister in Christ who was fearful of renting out her house for 6 months prior to our appointment. She commented that the tenant had called the earlier agent but did not proceed to make an appointment to view the house but called my husband instead. I told her it was God’s divine appointment. We then asked the tenant (who is of another faith) why he did not go ahead with the other agent and he said he was not comfortable with the way the earlier agent had spoken to him. He was comfortable with the way my husband spoke to him about his inquiries. We believe in living a transparent and truthful life when representing our client for we are His light to Glorify His name.
May the Lord be Glorified in our workplace as He leads us in 2023.
