DC Real Estate and Area Events: January 2010

    Good morning everyone. This is Lanre"The Real Estate Farmer"Folayan-Exit Premier Realty Real Estate Professional. Just wanted to say thank you all for your love,care and support for God's beautiful children in Haiti. According to 2 Corinthians 9:7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart,not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. Yet in spite of some of the hardship that some of you might be going through yourself,you were still able to give. I pray that God bless you all one billion fold in return for being such cheerful givers.

    And if you haven't given to the people in Haiti,please do. It's not too late. And if you are not able to give,mention them in your prayers. There is power in prayer. There is no problem too big for our God that he can't solve. So this is what this video blog is about. Me saying thank you for everyone who has given to God's beautiful children in Haiti.

Matter of fact,I am so blown away that I am thinking about purchasing leads(I said "thinking about" I didn't say I am going to do it-Let's not get too excited).

    Anybody interested in attending a free seminar? Well I found out about this one a couple of days ago so I decided to write a blog about it. Many of us know about Richard Kiyosaki -author of "Rich Dad,Poor Dad"book. Well their will be a seminar in Washington DC on January 11th-14th. Of course he won't be there even though it will be nice if he would come. I might attend this seminar myself.
