Good reminder!

...exhale & speak gently to your soul:
“You don't have to work
for the coming of the Lord.

You don't have to work for Christmas.
Because: The miracle is always that God is gracious. You always get your Christmas miracle. You get God with you.

That's really all you have to get ready for Christmas: your heart.

So you get to just come to Him just as you are.

God gives Himself as the greatest Gift this
Christmas and He doesn't keep any truly good thing from you.

Because the greatest things aren't things!

Jesus is all good, and He is all yours
and this is always your miracle-
your greatest Gift!"

*God longs to be with you*

🏠✨ Ready to make your dream home a reality? Hold up, because first, we need to talk contracts! 😮📑 You don’t want your happily-ever-after to turn into a legal drama. So, I’ve brewed up some insights for you! ☕🔍

1️⃣ Contingencies: Don’t overlook these! Make sure you have an ‘out’ in case the inspection reveals a haunted basement or a less-than-stellar roof. 🏚️👻
2️⃣ Closing Costs: It’s not just the home price you need to budget for; closing costs can sneak up on you faster than your coffee cools down. ☕💸
3️⃣ Escrow: Know what it is and how it protects your hard-earned money. Think of it like a coffee lid—there to protect you from spills (or scams). 🛡️💰
4️⃣ Timeline: Keep track of those important dates. Miss a deadline, and you might just lose your dream home. ⏳🏠

Let’s make sure the only thing you’re second-guessing is whether to go for that second cup of coffee. 😉☕🔑

✨ Ever watched a renovation show and thought, “I could totally do that”—only to be hit with sticker shock later? 🏷️💸 It’s all about budget, baby!

1️⃣ Prioritize: Figure out what you really need vs what you just kinda want.

2️⃣ Get Multiple Quotes: Don’t just go with the first contractor who makes heart eyes at your home.

3️⃣ Add a Buffer: Because let’s be real, something’s gonna go off-script!

4️⃣ Cash is King: Avoid debt by saving up before you dive in.

So grab your dream boards and your calculators, and let’s turn that “someday” project into a “doing it NOW” reality!
