How I Pray now

 

How I Pray now

How I Pray now with my precious time spent listening to God. I haven’t always prayed this way. I made the switch in the early 2000’s. 

In my time with our lord, I receive great pleasure daily during my time visiting our lord our God the father. Every response from him, whether immediately or delayed, is an incredible miracle in my life. Our time is very special, it’s not like anything I’ve ever experienced, and I treasure every minute.

Can we be worried, stressed, or have fear and have faith simultaneously? No, it is not possible.

How we look at life XL yesterday, today, and even tomorrow is different. There is always beauty growing after the ugly aftermath of trouble. How we define it is what makes our mood in that time. It is of great value to be able to see and hear the awful and be able; to stay in love with our God and relax in peace knowing he has our back.

Faith of the faithful. Do not forget. Stop and smell the roses. He is there observing us. He answers questions if I ask. He reminds me to have faith and to trust him.

I, just like everyone else, sometimes will go scream or cry if needed. I then pray while talking or just spending time with God, and I am quiet. I will continue until I feel peace and feel he has excused me for the time being, or I think I need to go to sleep or do something God tells me to do. I have fallen asleep while talking with him. Sometimes hours pass, other times only minutes. I may suddenly be refreshed and or extremely happy. I never know what is to come of our time when we begin; I know that I receive a blessing when I feel it.

I may feel him, hear him or see things he is showing me. It is not as often as I would like and probably because I may not be giving my full attention. Whatever the reason, I want those moments with him when I connect with him. It is truly one of the greatest feelings. It is the ultimate peace!

This is how I pray.

Either I am at home or outside in nature in a safe place.

I prefer to sit Indian-style on a meditation pillow if possible. Palms facing up.

I start talking to God for as long as I can. After I pray, I stay in position and sit there.

It is our time. I still have my eyes closed. I will stay an hour or more if possible, in quiet until I get a message or have a feeling of peace, then I savor the moment as long as I can.

This is the secret of my life. My relationship with God, I cherish forever. My precious moments with God.

Why I Love my REALTOR® Interview

Tracy Elman is not your average REALTOR®. Tracy has an interesting background full of things she has done. Not just done but got very good at them. She also cares about others, and you can tell she does.

Why did you become a real estate professional?

Back 31 years ago, I was the first one in my family to get my real estate license. I did because we had our house for sale and had a bad agent. Instead of getting a lawyer I went to real estate school. I asked all my questions and loved the class, so I stayed on and got my license. Then I loved the business. Things were different then. There wasn't the computers and technology. We wrote contracts with NCR paper and made mimeograph copies. We took checks and put them in the broker's trust accounts.

Who are some of your business idols and role models? And why?

Well, there was not that many people who networked so we didn't know the successful people other than working with them, word of mouth and bus benches. So I didn't have any. Now I do. My broker is a role model for me. He is extremely well known, well liked, gives back to the community and is an excellent coach. Cindy in my office is another role model for me. She has a big heart and is a great support for me. My husband and my son are great teachers.

What's the most memorable experience you've had with a client?

Just because I had them doesn't mean they were good memories. lol. I had many, but one was a Korean lady, and I went to East LA at night to see a house that almost fell through the unsteady warped kitchen floor. The house was on stilts down a cliff and was at the top of the hill. Gang members chased us downhill to the car, I got in, and she was not there yet. I started the car and let her in. We drove back to the valley where the car in front of us had parts of the car flying off and hit my car. There was no payphone until we got to North Hollywood. I called 911 and was on hold so long I hung up and left. That was it for me. I learned about boundaries.

What makes you stand out from other real estate professionals?

I do what many realtors don't or won't do. I also have the knowledge, that many do not have and designations and experience. I also help and care about people. It is not all about me or money. I genuinely care.

What do you do for fun?

Now I spend time with my husband and son. We visit the kids and grandkids often. We used to t-hunt. T-hunt stands for transmitter hunting where we would triangulate the signal to find a 4-wheel drive vehicle with a CB radio in a game of hide and seek. I also write books sold on Amazon and other stores. I have recorded audio books as a voiceover artist. I do my own audio and video editing. I have received many awards and medals for them.

What are your favorite things to do in the neighborhood?

I enjoy meeting new people, getting to know them, enjoying a glass of iced tea with them. I also love to video them telling old stories.

What are your favorite restaurants in the neighborhood?

I love so many of the places to eat here. I guess I just love food. In the last month, I have eaten at Bobs Country Meats, Saugus Cafe, Hook Burger, Red Lobster, IHOP, and Baby Tuna.

What are some odd requests you've had from clients?

Would I marry their son? I am married. Can I change the light bulb for them?
