Building a house… 3 weeks ago, I found this house!

Building a house! Is that very problem? This man tells us his amazing story.

3 weeks ago, I found this house online. I said, ‘This is my house.’ I called the seller and was told it was a cash-only offer. I was told, ‘I’m sure that takes you off the table.’ Don’t you ever underestimate a hardworking black man.

I saw the house last week and when I walked in I knew I was home. The house was built in 1820 for the Russell family who owned the cotton mill in town. Slavery was still legal.

When the agent asked me why I wanted such a large house I said it was ‘a generational move.’ I know this house is bigger than me.

Wish I could’ve told my ancestors when they were breaking their back in 1820 to build this house that 200 years later, a black man was going to own it and fill it with love and find a way to say their name even when 200 years later they still thought I would be ‘off the table.’

We are building our own tables. I’ve never been prouder to be a black man. Come to my White House any time. I can’t wait to have you! Glory to God in the highest. I’m a homeowner.

Credit goes to original owner! I saw it here!

Moral of the story: There is good in this world. In fact, there is more good than bad in this world if we just open our eyes to it. There isn’t a script or instruction manual for love. You just have to roll with it.”
