Yesterday I spent time trying to line up the inspection for the Wert’s. we had our weekly office business meeting and home tours, then *** treated me to lunch with *** and himself. In the afternoon I nearly completed all of the paperwork for the ***.

Besides the video, and figuring out where the water heater resides in the Purdue house, the only other thing I feel pressing is getting the gift card from ‘The Still’ and picking a winner for the Cirrus Drive Life Facebook contest.

I’m sure there’s some other things that should be on my mind, but they aren’t coming.

Come Follow Me

I continue to notice passages in scripture that highlight the pursuit of wealth and money. While there are passages that describe seeking riches for the purpose of doing good, there seem to be many more that warn against letting money and the pursuit of it get in the way of following God.

Today, I read powerful verses in the Book of Helaman.

Nephi asks “How could you have forgotten your God…”

and then he answers his own question. “it is to get gain, and to be praised of men, yea, and that ye might get gold and silver. And ye have set your hearts upon riches and the vain things of the world, for which ye do murder, and plunder, and steal, and bear false witness against your neighbor, and do all manner of iniquity.”

I love the example of Abraham when there was strife between His herdman and Lot’s. first, he implored Lot that they should not fight because they were brethren.

Then, he suggested they put more space between them, and he let Lot choose the land he would go to. Abraham was not greedy. He worked to increase his resources, but he did not put that desire before God or family, or peace.

I can follow that example.

The missionaries texted me last night to see if I would go with them to the *** house. It seemed like a blessing from God because I felt like I should do something more than waste away the evening at home, but I knew I would have trouble motivating myself. It was a great visit. It gave me the opportunity to invite *** to our movie night that the EQ is having this evening, and *** wanted a blessing, which I was voice for with the missionaries. It was a touching experience.

After that, near 8pm, Sienna and I went for a walk. It was nice to get back to that with her. It had been a little while.

Real Estate

As we walked our normal route through the Cirrus Drive neighborhood I noticed the signs I had placed for Cirrus Drive Life had been removed. I’m a little disappointed, but will just set my mind to finding another way to get attention.

Today I will check on the Dartmoor and Varga listing to make sure all is well, then head to Boise.

I plan on taking photos at the Purdue house on the bench today. It’s supposed to be a clear day. It will be interesting to have a listing on the Boise Bench.

I think I’m going to start focusing more on documenting my life. It’s awkward because it feels concieted. Who am I to think someone would be interested in following my life. It’s the equivalent of taking photos of what I eat for breakfast and posting it online.

But something inside my head tells me this is the next step of my project. we’ll see how this goes.

Manifesting Faith

I have the idea to add a new section to my daily journal that I will call manifesting. I don’t really like that label because it’s the secular version of something I regard as religious faith. So, now that I’ve clarified that in my own head, I’ll just label it “faith”.

• Today, I will have the opportunity to have a conversation with someone that provides encouragement in the face of their adversity, and I will be mindful of when that opportunity presents itself.
• Also, a new person will come into my life that has an above average interest in real estate.

“What profit a man if he gain the whole world yet loses his soul.”

This passage came to mind as I was thinking about section 18 but don’t have my scriptures on hand.

A major theme of the Doctrine + Covenants is putting away worldly concerns for the sake of saving God’s children. Section 18 Emphasizes the ‘why’ of doing that. We give of ourselves to build God’s Kingdom because it saves people, and people are worth it. Very valuable actually.
