This is a rant so ya may wanna skip this entry.

Ok, some of ya'll know that i have been house hunting. Well, i found one that qualifies for the type loan im prequalified for, so my parents went to go look at it. My mom wants me closer to them and told me to look at other houses and they would figure out something about a downpayment and to not worry about it cuz they want me closer. And she didnt have much good to say about the place i found. all these worries about stuff. So, I email realtor and say my parents might help with a downpayment on a different type loan so i can be closer than the other place. and she wanted to know when we wanted to go look. So, i call my mom who then is like i dont know how we gonna come up with the downpayment after telling me two days before not to worry about it and then still wants me to look at this one house thats close to them. Now, there have been issues with my roommate and i am slowly being driven insane by everyone and everything. I am doing the very best i can just to keep my head above water. My current roommate isnt working and does pretty much nothing although he did get the grass cut the other day. I am dry money wise, will prolly be losing cable, internet and phone on Tuesday cuz of trying to take care of him too. I did find a house that will be 100.00 more than what i am paying in rent currently but it is alot closer to my job and i would save that in just traveling back and forth from work to home. If i get help from the family, i will never hear the end of it. If i dont get help from the family i will never hear the end of it. I am not planning on taking my current roommate with me and he knows this cuz i just cant do it anymore. I am getting further and further behind in everything. And i need to be closer to work. The commute is kinda hard.The house i found is a nice house, not exactly what i wanted, but its newly redone so there shouldnt be any major repairs needed anytime soon. Its a lil higher than i wanted to go, but still is within my price range for monthly payments although i would like to find one cheaper, but the other ones i looked at i wouldnt even consider renting much less buying. I was posed to help with the easterfest here on one program and ended up cancelling cuz of not knowing whether i will still have internet when it was scheduled and i think i let everyone down. I feel alone and not even sure if i belong here anymore. I know God loves me. Just everything seems overwhelming. I am always so tired. I have been reading in Proverbs alot lately. Its been helping. Looking at losing internet is not a fun idea, but i gotta be realistic about what i am able to do cuz a new place has to come first. I have to have a break somewhere somehow. I have no peace in this situation. I feel pulled in every direction.

Ok, sorry for the rant

Ok, my sister goldie...first you do belong here, this is your home. If for some reason you loose internet service, remember you can go to a public library and check in here from time to time. Let us know what's going on with you, and how you are.

Now as for the house. Sis, God will make a way for you to get the house He wants you to have. He did so for me. I didn't have any money for a downpayment when I bought my house, and God made a way for the bank to loan me the money without a down payment. All I had to pay was the closing cost. Don't loose faith sis. God will provide.

I'm sorry your family is causing you so much grief in this matter. I want you to listen to God though and let Him lead you to the right house, and not your family. Gotta put God's will before your family's will.

Pick your head up sis. All is going to be ok. Look how much God has done for you already. He has more blessings for you...just be patient and wait upon Him.

luv ya

it's a matter of perception as to how much power to let the past have over you

AND it's a matter of perception as to how much power to let the PRESENT have over you.

Do we need to have a house? "be content with such things as you have", we have in Hebrews 13:5.

Is enough enough?

God gives enough, with peace; but the world's people will keep giving you demands, no matter what you do (o:

Get with God in peace, first, and do not trust any thinking, decisions, ideas, etc. that are not in this peace.

Hello Goldie

I am sorry you are hurting right now, awwwwww sweet Goldie.
I will keep you in my prayers.

I know that everything seems urgent, urgent to find a new home, urgent to find the right new home, urgent to please loved ones -- urgent, urgent, urgent. But Goldie, it only seems that way. Stop, be still and know that He is God. He is your God. He will give you wisdom and He will give you peace, and from that place of peace you'll be able to make the right decisions.

As far as you and this site, we want you here and would miss you terribly is you were to leave. I understand possibly losing your internet; however, as Mlg suggested, there are ways to stay in touch until you are again in a position to get internet back.

You may think your absences are not noticed or that no one cares, but I know differently. I notice, and I care about you, Goldie.

Again, you are in my prayers.

God bless you, Goldie. He loves you very much.
I love you, too,
Mack

awww ty all sooo much i guess yesterday was just a lil much for me. I am feeling a lil better. And I know God is with me. I think more than anything i am just tired. Mack, everything does seem urgent. But your right God will give me peace if i just stop and listen. I will make it a point to do that today when i get home from work. GBU all..
