Manifesting

Manifesting

Jack and I did a ceremony at our church on New Years. In the ceremony we let go of everything that was keeping us from connecting with our Christ center by performing a burning ceremony. We wrote down everything we wanted to let go of on flash paper and then symbolically burned it up. Once you create a hole, you need to fill it up or the negative will come back. We were each asked to fill the emptiness with a written description of what our dreams and desires looked like for the New Year. The pastor said she would mail the letters to us in July so that we could see the power of prayer and manifesting.

It was an easy letter to write. Jack and I wanted to see prosperity in the lives of all our family and friend’s lives, as well as our own. We defined that prosperity as an overflowing abundance in love, health, finances, knowledge and spirituality. I wanted a fulfilling job, Jack filled in with his own personal wishes. Both of us wrote on how we wanted to get a home on our land before he retired from Walgreens. (That is at least 2 ½ years away.) We also wrote that we wanted to keep our house payment as low as possible as we planned to live in this house for many years after we retired. We asked that God’s will to be done, for our highest good. You know where this is going…

Last night we headed out to visit our favorite rep, Darla, at Clayton Homes in Hot Springs. We wanted to let her know about the model home we were thinking about purchasing at Luv Homes and wanted to get a quote from her on what our dream home would cost if we ordered one from her. We also wanted to know if we could still use Bud for the bulldozing work if we didn’t buy from her. Bud is an independent contractor that does all the preliminary home site work for Clayton Homes – before the house is actually delivered. He quoted all the jobs we need done and we really liked his honesty and his price!

We are so happy we decided to come clean with Darla! It turns out Luv Homes is a sister company of Clayton Homes. The same parent company owns both! Darla told us if we chose to buy the model home, she could have it transferred to her lot and she would make the sale. That meant we could still use Bud for either home! More importantly, Darla would still be our rep no matter which home we decided to purchase.

All that was left for us to do was decide on which home we wanted. We could buy the model home now and get a break on the price or wait and order a home in November and get exactly what we wanted. The final decision came down to the fireplace and comparing the mortgage payment/total cost for each option. It seems we couldn’t add a fireplace to an existing prefab home as no insurance company would cover it! With the recent power outages because of ice storms, having a second heat source was important to us.

We asked Darla for a quote on the cost of ordering our dream home with all the changes we invisioned. In less than 24 hours she called us back with the news. The difference in the cost between buying the model home and ordering our dream home was only $3,500 – the same amount we would have to pay in additional rent if bought early! The decision was a no brainer - we decided to wait and order our dream home in several months. The house will be on our property, ready to live in, sometime in late September or October. I can’t believe it – in less than a year from moving here, we will be living in our dream home on our land (part time) – with an unbelievable low house payment – about a third of what we were paying in MN.

Now that’s manifesting!
