Financial Choices for Home

May 28, 2013 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

 Ten O’Clock last night became 11:00 and I think I slept while driving home.  Work was easier for me today when I fired the narrator in my head who said I should be doing something else.  Since I have been self employed most of my life, it is most challenging to be accountable to someone else for every second of my shift.

Life says it is time to STOP. Stop the stress, stop the debt, stop the world from worry.  That stop begins with me.

Picture this,  you are driving and approach a busy intersection where you note the light is red.  You don’t stop……Bang, crash bang,  The cars who had the green light hit you,  The car in back of you hits you,  it quickly becomes a major pile up.  You are killed………done for gone from this planet.   People surrounding you are injured…..

Hello,  it is the same with debt, the desire to buy for others, the longing for a big house and stuff.  I influence the opinions and actions of others.  You influence the opinions and actions of others.  I am influenced by the actions of those who are close to  me  Like the car crash,  my choice, your choice becomes a factor in the outcome of those around us.

Broke?   What will you do?   What will I do? Perhaps I will  search for a job,  use all credit cards, accept all credit offers,  take money from friends, family, borrow from friends, family,  get angry and become a victim. I will be powerful and take whatever jobs that enable me to step up from the hole I am in and see freedom.  Stop means to stop digging  hole and start living in the moment.

You can be a victim or powerful.  You can’t be both.  I may choose to be a victim or be powerful.  I can’t be both.  Today, working a job I don’t like but appreciate having is allowing me to move toward the foundation for a house that will be affordable and paid for within 5 years!   Amazing!

Will your home be paid for in 5 years?

Where Should I Go?

May 27, 2013 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

I have almost traveled full circle in life.  Must say, I am not in a hurry to close the gap.

Reflecting, when I was 19   my first husband and I  bought our First House.  It was a cute little house in Knoxville with a big yard and friendly neighbors.  Now, when I drive by I am amazed how run down the neighborhood appears.

Several houses were purchased during the course of my real estate career with the anticipation and excitement of making them home.  I realize lots of others only purchase one home during a lifetime.

The position I find myself in now is unnerving.  For the past year I have traveled and been like a graduating high school student,  wandering here and there, visiting,  waiting for my little house to appear.  I want to decide a location by July 4th.  That is Independence Day.

My little house isn’t going to appear.  I do not know how to do Magic!  So, I shall pull my bootstraps up, forget what appears to be mistakes of the past, live today and complete today’s mission.

That would include going to work at my Job at 3:00 this afternoon.  I will complete it at 10 pm.  Did I share with you I am not a night person?

Moving Mentally and Physically

May 27, 2013 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

Moving from a traditional home to a little house requires one to move mentally into another brain space.

For me, this hasn’t been easy.  Now,  I recognize why the little house isn’t built.  My mental state has remained with the house I last lived in leaving me physically stuck in a limbo that was like driving in fog.

My new navigation system is clear thinking and focus for making money to pay debts and build the house.  Action steps follow clearly with urgency and excitement.  A bit of exhaustion has already settled with me.

The writing style for this blog changes now as I enter into a diary mode sharing each day.  The ultimate goal for this season of summer is to change the financial position I am in and have land and a little building to start the completion of home.

This time, I face a mountain, a mountain of debt, and  a mountain of ideas accumulated over years.  Ideas aren’t tangible.  I can’t live there.   What is it like to start over in the last season of life?  Am I alone?  No,  I have the love and support of family and some of my friends.  Others don’t understand.

Moving On.  Home is just around the bend.

Second Sunday Steps Toward Home

May 27, 2013 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

My sprint is for 180 days!

This is the second Sunday.  It has been an Awesome day for me.  Most of the day has been quiet, just me and God.

I have tried to be still, not to talk much on the phone, to listen to what He has to say………..

Now, I am ready for sleep.  Tomorrow starts another day of the journey.

Today, I am halfway to no where.

 

May He Lead Me Beside the Still Waters.

Focus On Home

May 21, 2013 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

Continuing from Sunday, I must say this past Sunday was the best in a long time.  Wonderful worship service near me and then my cousin came to visit and we went to the Chop house for a salad!  Love from a family member is great.

Yesterday was an intense work day and I don’t have my schedule in place. Moving forward this Friday I will go to the storage unit, move almost everything out and go through each box to see what is to sell, keep or discard.  Funny, because I have been purging for 2 years.

Moving to a little house requires one to really decide:

  • What do I want to keep?
  • What do I need to keep?

Today, I am mentally living in the little house and making a list of what is needed in each room.

Sunday Morning Coming Down!

May 19, 2013 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

Good morning readers!

This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.

I am glad and thankful for a place to live with my friend, while I get my thoughts in place and actions to follow.

This morning I will worship at the church near where I live.

Afternoon is reserved for a visit with my cousin.  It is amazing to live near family again.

Tune in tomorrow………….

Blessings,

Molinda

The Voice In My Head Says Little House Talk!

May 17, 2013 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

Are you listening to the voice of doom and gloom?  How about the voice that says succeed and bloom?

Bloom where you are planted.  For today I am planted in Sevierville, Tennessee.  It is true my roots aren’t deep here and I am subject to be transplanted, but I am a healthy specimen and life is well.

Today, I am looking at a lake lot at Douglas Lake for $1,200 down, owner financing and $139.00 per month.  First, order of business is I don’t have 1200 to put down.  Why am I looking?  By checking this out, I will have an idea of the availability of the land for my little house here.  If I like it, perhaps I can barter for the 1200.00

Any ideas?

Does the Universe Answer or Does God

May 16, 2013 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

I fired the narrators who rented space in my head.  Now, I listen to a new story.

First, let me share that Granny Craig once told me, when I see trash I sweep it out the door.  Well, my narrators had a bunch of trash for thoughts.  Examples, were state what you want and the universe will provide.  Another group of friends (narrators) said let’s go out for dinner.  Here have a piece of pie.  Now, still another said  don’t eat at the cheap restaurants, you can afford the best,  charge it!

Result,  overweight, credit maxed out, the universe was created by God and it didn’t answer me, and my little house is in Disney world.  Disney world was in my head.  So,  narrators have been fired.

I am doing Dave Ramsey’s course for becoming debt free.

God is providing the opportunities for me to grasp to make the money to pay bills.

I am shopping for land instead of the Disney World in my head.

Will share land ad’s tomorrow.

Love ya readers…..

Progress For Little House

May 14, 2013 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

I am astounded that in a year I have made almost no progress toward my goal for the little house.

It is though there was a mob of moving obstacles in my path.  I command them to move me forward and become a parade in my honor!

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with obstacles, buried under the rubbish?

Top of the Mountain Home

May 13, 2013 by Molinda Goforth Leave a Comment

Home is where you hang your hat.  Home is where the heart is.  Home is  in the town where you work.  Home is near family.   Where the heck is home?

Life is easy in your spiritual realm when you are on top of the mountain.  When you fall to the valley, it’s confusing, foggy on the mountain, cold and lonely.  I am in the valley.  Unfortunately, that is where I have resided for the past year.  Days were clear and happy and my day dreams were awesome.  Then I woke up and they were only day dreams.

I am on a 180 day healing process.  I need healing from debt, a place to really live and call home, my position with God affirmed and I declare it to be now!

Are you in the valley of decision?  Stop digging a hole and lets build a stairway.
