In September 2013, I began working for a small start-up in the real estate investment industry. I discovered business skills I never knew were in me, including the fact that I could make real money-for my company and myself.
For the past five years, I’ve traveled across the country, attending one industry event after another, meeting hundreds of new people – all networking and dealmaking. There is so much money in this industry, which also means these conferences offer perks of a job I’d never experienced. We stay in the best hotels, eat fabulous food, and the networking parties are very grand- sometimes over the top. Traveling to these “shows,” as we call them, is a whirlwind of activity and it would be easy for someone to get lost in it all, which is why I stick close to my fellow believers.
I am spiritually drawn to other Christians and can sense the Holy Spirit inside. It makes sense when you think about it since this is where Christ dwells. No one has to announce, “I’m a Christian.” We have this underlying ability to just know; Christ’s words and thoughts naturally become our own and help us to connect.
Paul writes in Romans about the Spirit dwelling in us, and that if it does not, then we don’t belong to Christ. I am in awe that God has designed us to have this sense of discernment. The Spirit of Christ is so great and so vast, and I am grateful for his infinite ability to connect me with fellow believers, from coast-to-coast.
