Hey guys. Its' Mark, I'm blogging for the first time ever. Not sure what to say except that today we're going to look at a bank-owned home in North Charlotte. I have this obsession with getting a house that doesn't have major issues and working hard on it to get it up to what it could be really worth. So its not flipping, but I guess its kind of like making your home, without the price tag. We looked at the house today with Denise's parents. Her Dad, Paul, has worked as a home builder for 20+ years so it was great to have his input. They think its a lot of house for us, 4/3, (bedrooms/baths) but its such a good price! We could turn that sucker around. Its exciting but I want to pay close attention to their wisdom and also to the Lord. Proverbs 24:6 says, "for by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory." If anyone knows, Solomon does.
In related news, I start my job at Bonitz on the 14th after our trip to Seattle. I'm ready for a challenge and to learn a new industry and career. I can't wait to learn how to sell better and also how to put together my own projects. I'll be selling ceiling tile bids to contractors. Hoping they'll use our guys to solve their ceiling needs.
Lastly, just wanted you guys to know...the book I'm reading right now, What Jesus Demands from the World, by John Piper is unbelievable. It is broken down to chapters on all the commands Jesus had in the four gospels. The way he writes the scriptures into his prose is almost natural as if he's inspired himself, haha. I've found it to be a book that is discipling. I've learned so much and have been compelled by the Spirit while reading it to confess my disobedience, and then ask for his empowerment to carry out his commands. It is key for going deeper into this invigorating reality that is Christ resurrected. I want to use it to teach and disciple others as well. More to come....
