Sep '07 Real Estate Update

Here is a combination, Devotional/Market Update that I published via e-mail back in September of last year. I now publish these separately on two different blogs. My devotions are now published at http://www.apilgrimspath.blogspot.com/ if you are interested in reading and commenting there.

Reaching Forward Devotional/Market Update September 06

A friend once told me, "God directs the boat, Tom, but you’ve got to row." So very true. The Apostle Paul made plans to carry the message about Jesus Christ to places that had never heard about Christ. With much prayer and the prayer of friends he acted on that plan. Things did not always go as planned. On one occasion he attempted to go to Asia and spread the Gospel of Christ, but kept finding himself blocked at every turn. One night he dreamed about a man from Macedonia (modern day northern Greece) who was asking for help. Paul and his missionary companions concluded that they were to sail to Macedonia with the good news of Jesus Christ. The result? Many came to faith in Christ and a new church was established, which served as a launching point for evangelism for all of Greece and eventually Italy. Paul did not plan on Greece and Italy when he set out for Asia Minor. But, he rowed the boat and God directed him to an even more incredible mission which bore, and is still bearing, tremendous fruit (you can read the story yourself in the Bible beginning in Acts 15:36 and continuing to the end of Acts). The point is this, keep rowing, even when things don’t go as planned, and as long as you are rowing for God, God will direct your life as surely as He directed Paul’s and much fruit will be borne.

The Real Estate market in Greater Pensacola has changed. There are over 6000+ active listings on the market at present as compared to about 1000 a year and a half ago! Given the high demand and diminished inventory, prices were inflated after Ivan, but are now stabilizing. You may know of someone who is thinking about buying, but is concerned about the changing market. Tell them to keep rowing, there are great deals to be had. If you or someone you know is thinking of selling, "Row on!" Buyers are coming back into the market now. Your buyer may be rowing to your home as we speak. Let’s get it on the market!
