Thankful for Stability

Happy Sabbath

I thank God for a beautiful day and good week free of trouble and turmoil.

I thank God that my family is doing well and my son had the opportunity to go to the aquarium with his class.

I thank God for the weather because it is tolerable and making everything around me lush, verdant, and beautiful. 

I thank God for my job.  I thank God that my car is still working and that I will be paid next week so I can get it serviced.

I thank God that my son’s pink eye is going away. 

I thank God that I have a place to stay.

I am still waiting on the house thing.  I suggested my agent apply some pressure to HUD but I still have to wait for them to update their records and speak with the township before I can do anything.  I drove down the street of the first house and saw that there was some clean up done (a trash bag filled with debris in the front yard).  Nothing much had changed outside of that bag and the for sale sign being missing.  There was no car there so I really believe an investor picked it up.  The house at the very end had a bunch of people standing on the back porch.  It’s a very large and irregular lot and that house went through several renovations. 

I have not been by the house I’m waiting on for over a month now.  I’m thinking I will wait until June and if they are still playing around, I should just walk away.  If they would just send the letter or call the township, I would schedule the inspection right away and close in 1-2 weeks. 

I don’t know what to do.  The longer I wait, the more money I can use to pay down debt or put towards home repair.  I have to start a new mortgage application all over again since I’m over the 120 days the bank gives me after they run my credit.  I was slowly bringing my score up and now it will take another hit.

I will wait another week and see if there is anything new I can report.  I will continue to find things that I can thank God for and I hope that you will too as well.  May you have a great Sabbath, a safe and happy week, and stay encouraged!
