WHO'S FOLLOWING YOU
Let's talk about our role in leading the way. In what ways have you been a land breaker, leading the way for others to follow?

Soon after my wife and I first married, we bought our first house. Before the closing date, I was "let go" from my job. We had already been approved for the home loan. We decided to buy the house anyway. We did not know how we would make the payments but we planned to have children and wanted them to grow up in "their own home". We knew we would find the way to survive a tough situation.
The Good Lord looked after us. I quickly found a new job with the same company. The new department told me to collect my severance from the old department before coming into work. Therefore, I had a two week paid vacation which was used to move into our new home.
