You are all always in my prayers, and I do read often to add specific prayers. Quoting: Storm* I'm in Florida, so in addition to my daily struggles I'm dealing with the coming storm. I don't think it will have much affect in my area, but you wouldn't know by the panic shopping. Because of that I've pushed my final garage sale back a couple of weeks. I somehow hurt my back yesterday moving some stuff, even though I didn't lift anything too heavy. I've had some days where things seem almost hopeless, but oddly enough I'm not struggling with the depression like before this all became definite. Several months back I was so depressed and in addition feeling guilty about it because it felt like I wasn't trusting God. Don't get me wrong, this is still overwhelming at times. But I know I fought for years. I am now accepting that this move, no matter how scary, is what's meant to be. This thread has made a huge difference in my life. I was meant to find it. I'm sure of that. As always, prayers said for all. It is not easy to move from your home, to a different home. I still miss my old house in many ways, mainly my beautiful gardens and the pond. I look at it all as new beginnings. A fresh start for me. I believe God sent me to this house, to find some peace, and to make things overall easier for me.There was no way I could ever have kept up that huge old 10 room house with a 1/4 acre lot and the pond, no matter how much effort I put into it. I can handle this little brick house with no problem, and the small yard was perfect for me and the dogs. I got to say, that when I viewed this house, as soon as I stepped into the front door, I knew I had found my home.This house reminded me in many ways, of my 1st house, a little old brick house on the north side of the city. I had asked God for a new home for me, something that I could handle in all ways, and something that I would feel comfort in. He took care of me, beyond my expectations, and despite my unworthiness. I paid way too much for this house, seeing all the hidden problems it had. But, God, in His goodness and mercy, made sure enough money came my way, to repair what needed to be repaired right away, and the rest as I can afford it. As God takes care of the birds, and adorns the lilies of the field with great majesty, He also takes care of us, His children. Prayers said ! Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |

Sure enough, they had a bunch of the 5 gallon jugs, enough that I was able to get three (and there were more left for others--they also had cases of water still on the shelf whereas the other store has completely empty)....I was amazed and overjoyed....if you don't live in FL, especially before a hurricane, you don't realize what a miracle this was for us....I still have two jugs that I will use to fill up with tap water, just in case...going to fill up some baggies with water and put them in plastic shoe box bins sitting upright in my freezer to help keep it cold.... praying that the storm stays offshore somehow---Dorian really spooked me and made me believe that weather control is a real thing after that thing spun around in one spot in the Bahamas for three days about 50-75 miles directly offshore of us before heading due north.... Please keep hubby in prayers/positive thoughts as he keeps having panic attacks/anxiety as well as stomach pain (we think from gallstones) he also is on an antibiotic at the moment which is like pouring gasoline on a fire in his stomach....but needed because we saw the lung doctor who heard the crackling in his lower lungs...I couldn't hold a cough back and had been feeling really awful--this doctor kindly called in a RX for an antibiotic to CVS which I have been on since Tuesday also...a second blessing to report.... Please keep him in prayers--I just had to stop typing because he said he felt funny and BP was up so I gave him the med that'll bring it down...have to go sit with him...will grab the ipad...God Bless you all! Prayers said ! I pray the hurricane stays out at sea, and harms no one ! I have family in Jacksonville,Gainesville, St. Augustine, Fort Lauderdale, Valrico,and South of Tampa in several smaller communities. Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |

User ID: 84260916 United Kingdom 09/25/2022 09:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My love and hugs to you all. So glad you have now had some good news LCC. Praying for your health to improve now. Quoting: MySoul Still stuck sort of cmaping at the Framhouse. However, our "mini Budget" in the Uk yesterday saw a threshold rise of when you pay Stamp Duty, so I will save £2,500, so at least one blessing from this mess I am in! Jeepers! My spelling! I must be cracking up! What choice do I have but to be myself? Everyone else was already taken. Develop a nostalgia for the future - Maxwell Maltz MySoul |

Prayers for all of you in the path of this storm that Florida is due. Tiger - Your words "I got to say, that when I viewed this house, as soon as I stepped into the front door, I knew I had found my home.This house reminded me in many ways, of my 1st house" struck so true! I knew I wanted this bungalow as soon as I walked in, and interestingly when I bought my first house the day I signed the contracts they also reversed some Stamp Duty! I am sure I will be hapy there ONCE I get in. To everyone else posting here - hugs. Last Edited by MySoul on 09/25/2022 09:23 AM What choice do I have but to be myself?
