Owning a home is a beautiful dream. It's a place to raise your family, build memories, and plant roots. But here's something I've learned: a home is not the finish line, it's a foundation. It's a place to live while you work toward something even greater: financial freedom.And that, I believe, is the deeper desire behind so many people's longing for a home. It's not just about square footage or a backyard. It's about stability. It's about peace. It's about knowing you're building something lasting for yourself and your family.So, before you take that first step, take a breath. Do the homework. Listen for God's voice. And walk forward with wisdom, not just excitement. The dream is real-but so is the responsibility.
