Paid In Full

By -


Imagine going to your mailbox and finding a note from your mortgage company saying that your debt is paid in full. You would probably move from disbelief to sheer joy in a matter of minutes. This recently happened to us.


As twins, our families are very close. Our kids are more like brothers and sisters than they are cousins. It just makes sense that we spend vacations together to have “double” the fun. We purchased property together in Gatlinburg, TN about 4 years ago (the photo above is one of the beautiful streams near our property). We were scheduled to pay off the remaining mortgage next year. 


Last week my husband went to the mailbox like normal and received a letter from our mortgage holder. To his surprise, the letter informed us that our property was PAID IN FULL and the deed would be forwarded in the upcoming months. We quickly called Roslyn and her husband to find out if they paid off the mortgage (we figured this probably wasn’t the case but we had to ask). They were just as amazed as we were. We then went online to review our account and it said the same three words, PAID IN FULL!


How did it happen? What caused the mortgage company to send us the "paid in full" letter?

Maybe we didn’t realize that we were finished with our payments or maybe the sovereign and awesome God we serve provided us a "double dose" of amazing favor.


At that moment, while sitting in my kitchen getting ready to prepare dinner, I gently heard God say, “stop doubting and limiting my abilities”. What happened that day was nothing less than a miracle. If it happened to us, it can happen to you. Whether you are trusting God for your health, finances, or relationship concerns, TRUST him and watch how He works in your life. Blessings can sometimes come through the mail. (posted by Renee)

My Top 5 Tips To Stay Fit Without a Gym!

It's Fun Friday and I'm sharing some great workout tips.  Fortunately I've never struggled with working out (it's the good eating that always throws me for a loop).  I've always enjoyed going to the gym. So you can imagine when I moved to my rural community I was stressed with the fact that there wasn't a gym nearby.  Needless to say, I had to get creative on staying fit.  My business travel schedule, community and church obligations didn't make finding time to work out any easier.  I realized that my creative juices would have to flow on a alternative way to stay fit.  Here are some of my fun, no gym needed workouts: Walk/run intervals through the neighborhood Cardiovascular exercise is the foundation of most of my work- outs.  The light posts in my neighborhood provide a great way to walk & run in equal distance from the back to the front of the subdivision.  I will normally walk, jog, or sprint in intervals between each light post.

Take A Lesson From Ants

By -

I walked into my house and a portion of my floor was covered with little, black ants.  I instantly knew the kids had dropped some sticky substance on the tile floor. That mess attracted what looked like an entire nest of these little, pesky insects.  They were all moving around in unison enjoying what was probably going to be their lunch or dinner. Ironically on Sunday, a dear friend gave me a wonderful scripture about the lesson we can learn from ants.  Really, I thought, how can I possibly learn anything from something that annoys me so much.  I guess you know where I'm going with this.  There is a lesson to learn from ants about efficiency and productivity.   The ants didn't waste any time moving into action to retrieve whatever mess my boys left on the floor.  Not only that, they called all of their "ant" friends to help them in this insurmountable task. Are you a slacker?  Do you like to procrastinate?  Do you constantly have the attitude, "I'll ju

I Am Raising America's Most Hated...

BEWARE:  This is not your normal blog post It is not easy raising children.  But raising one of our country's most hated members of society brings more complication into the equation.  Let me clarify for you...raising a black male in America IS scary.  The world easily looks at color on a male as a deterrent to any intellectual ability.  Most men of color are viewed with the ability to only perform one thing - entertainment.  It could be a stand up comedian, singer, runner, actor, football or basketball player. Black males, unfortunately, only see the world through limited lenses.  Other races, ethnicities and gender can view the world with a vast amount of opportunities, but not if you are a black male.  You walk into a room or a packed elevator and people grab their handbags.  You walk next to their car and they lock their doors.  It's the overwhelming amount of negative images that have plagued and are fed into mainstream homes via our tv, social media and newspapers.
