My husband finally made an offer on the Lake Lot! Can get us 5 miles away from X-wife (who bought a house 4 doors across the street about a month ago), and away from OW (Who lives directly behind X-wife - and her mother lives directly behind us!!!)<P>They counter offered... He is truly truly serious!!!!! <P>It is a fixer, this is for sure. And we aren't done with the one we are in! But, I think we can swing it. He thinks we can swing it also. <P>Next door is a friend who is sort of mentoring me - she was a social worker, and now is a psychology professor - and we've been working on some projects together. Her husband is a pastor - he is down to earth, and he thinks a lot of me and my husband.<P>I know I would feel safe there (it isn't as isolating as where I live now!), and her husband has so many things in common with my husband: woodworking, fishing, building, and investing!!!! <P>Please keep on praying that the Lord provides the means for this to happen! IJN!<P>thanks.<BR>TNT

Thank you WS for the Northern Prayers!!! Looking at a globe - I don't think you are too much more Northern than I am! More like Eastern prayers? (I'm south of Fargo).<P>Yes, this is the best news yet. This will be the first house we have bought together. This is the first time in a long time I feel like we have "joined" energies and had a common goal. I'm really excited. What a blessing, huh?<BR>

Hi TnT,<P>I will pray that you get the house. And that none of the houses around you ever go on sale. <P>How can you do that? Live with all those reminders around? I could not do it. I am glad that your H is finaly coming around.

Prayers from the directly WEST. I hope this is an answer to many of your prayers. Your constancy deserves it!<P>------------------<BR>Lor<BR>"Let love be genuine...hold fast to what is good; love one another." Rom 12:9-10

You guys are great [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Pahakissa1 - Reminders have been icky!!! I usually have my curtains pulled open to let in the sunshine, (and I love sunshine!) - but I have had them drawn for so long, and am constantly calling our son in! When my husband is outside working on the house I try and get right beside them to keep guard! Icky Icky Icky!!!! This will be nice to feel like I am not under a microscope - or that there are these predators whizzing by all the time! It will be so nice reminding myself that I don't have to watch my husband pull out of the driveway to see which way he goes! And my husband that loves to ride his 3 wheeler around town - won't have to feel like he has to watch what street he goes down! And I won't have to drive 7 miles out of my way for milk when there is an undesirable at the corner store! You have no idea how this is going to help.<P>NSR!! Isn't this wonderful! Yes, things are getting better around here. Husband called 1.5 hours ago and said he was going to call the guy and send him $1000 to hold it until we have our financing figured out. (Does that mean that we are accepting their counter? Sounds like it! YES!!) <P>Sir Hurts A Lot,<BR>I think it will help mentally AND PHYSICALLY. I think just being in a place where you feel safer - where you feel you have a place to get help if you need it, or even having my husband realize that I am not isolated will help tremendously. Maybe even the pastor's influence will be a big help for us. I'm praying for this too!<P>Lor,<BR>Thanks. Your prayers from the West are appreciated very much. Maybe this means we can head towards recovery? I sure hope this means this. I think it means this. Our house is paid off now, so - this investment means that he is looking to OUR future. I am so glad about this. How are you holding up? <P>To All<BR>Thank you for your prayers from the North, Southwest, East, West. <P>

Hi TnT,<P><BR>Glad to know your H is putting $1000 down on the house. <P>I know how you feel. I just purchased a house and we move beginning of June. Just remember patience. The closer you get to the time to move it will get harder. Just rember you have people praying for this all around you. <P>
