I had semi-formed plans to make an offer on a house that would have given me plenty of room for my children, teaching studio, and business office, in addition to cutting my mortgage payments drastically, giving me more freedom to pursue my business which is what will provide my retirement, and giving me and my children a little distance from a family that causes some trouble.

While I was dealing with two other necessary issues first, someone else made an offer.

Normally, these things don’t stay on my mind this long. I let them go, figure something else will come along, and move on. But I’m watching this house, which is so perfect in almost every way for my family, a little heartsick over the thought of ‘losing’ it, and trying to get pre-approval for a home loan in case it comes back on the market. However, although it’s a very small loan (relatively speaking, for houses), my income, which is quite sufficient for it, is erratic on paper, and must also cover my current mortgage, as I can’t possibly sell the current house before buying another one.

Please pray regarding this, whether it’s for me simply to be content where I am, for this house and the funds to become available, or for something better to come along. Please pray for God’s will for me and my children and our housing situation.
 
Praying for you and your housing situation!

Almost 20 years ago, I ‘lost’ a bid on a house that I thought was PERFECT for us…I was heartbroken. It was very similar to the one I am in now, but one town over. My current property taxes are about 1/2 what they are on the other house and I can’t imagine living in that other area now…

St. Joseph…please help holyrood find the strength and wisdom necessary to provide for her family today and in the future!
 
Praying. We almost made an offer on a house that would have been great, but the taxes were double what the same house in another area would have been (a quirk in the districting). We just couldn’t justify paying the government that much more every year. 😦 But our current location is 100 times better. 🙂 Not necessarily the house itself, but the location.

TRJ…you and I seem to be living parallel lives as evidenced in this and many other posts!!LOL!!😃
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Thank you for your prayers. The house has sold. 😦 With my large family, there are so few houses that are suitable at all, let alone this perfect. A part of me is relieved, as there’s now no rush to deal with financing (and I have so many other things on my plate), but I was broken-hearted when I saw that it was sold.

Please pray that something better would come along.
