As we wrap season 1, Marilyn makes a few observations… 🌷 First, your God-sized dreams will be too big for you to carry on your own. And God designed it that way, so we would lean on each other and have the gifts of community & connection. 🌷 Second, the pauses placed on the path to your destiny are provided for you so that you can realign and sustain the dream long-term. 🌷 She talks about th...

It’s easy to look at everything around us— all the obstacles and opposition we face amidst the opportunity— and grow weary in the walk of faith. There’s so much that outside of our control. However, whereas we can’t manage the stuff outside of our control, we can manage— and are required to— steward the stuff that’s clearly in our realm of control. Mainly, ourselves. 🌷 We’ve talked about time man...

New levels, new devils. Promotion elevates your opportunities, as well as the opposition you face and the obstacles you must overcome. Marilyn moved from being a Realtor to become a broker… … and then she became an instructor. That meant lots of interaction with the Real Estate Commission AND it meant new obstacles to overcome.   💐💐💐💐💐 Rookie of the Year real estate course— perfect for r...

We started the first season of this podcast talking about Marilyn’s abrupt job loss and then the journey into real estate. But let’s go back further than that… … and let’s start putting some of the pieces together in the story. 🌷 Before she had that job she was in Chattanooga… … and before she was in Chattanooga she was in the Birmingham area… … and before that she was a (slightly) rebellious tee...

As cliche as it may sound, everything is spiritual. Dan Miller wrote a book, 48 Days to the Work You Love, in which he pushes people to pursue the voice of God— that calling. Even in your vocation. (Note that word vocation— we don’t use it so much any more, but it’s so much more powerful that career. It implies voice— or calling— that God actually leads us into something we do all day, everyday to...

God has the solutions, the strategies, and the systems you need in order to reach the potential He has placed inside of you. And it looks a little different for each of us, because we all have a Divine call on our lives. Marilyn continues her story and talks more about going to work as a new real estate professional. She learned— ⭐️ how she wanted to identify / present herself to others ⭐️ how b...

God’s open doors aren’t always easy. They usually require growth and change… It took Marilyn 7 tries— the number of completion— to pass the real estate exam and obtain her license. That meant the people she met in class had all passed and were working by the time she (finally) made it to the office for her first day of work. But there was more to it than that. She pivoted careers in her 40s, just...

Marilyn worked in medical billing— and did a great job of it— for 10 years. All of that came crashing down when, suddenly, she was let go. Here’s the thing about abrupt endings (or any endings, for that matter). At those points we can ask ourselves one of two questions: ⁉️ Why did this happen? Or, we can ask— ⁉️ What does this now make possible?   Marilyn discovered that comfort (it was such...

I got here the long way.  Turns out, God's hand was leading me the entire time.
