Ok I'm about to blow a gasket!! I am up past my neck in this Stupid housing stuff. I get a call today from our realtor. She says, "Well, the lender would like to close this week!" Which at face value isn't that bad. BUT, the catch is I would also have to pay them more money in interest! What a bunch of hogwash!! I am so tired of getting jerked around. SO, i told her I can close this we but I'm not paying a dime more and if the lender doesn't like it, they can lump it!! They will be making $100,000 in interest alone on me!! If they don't want my money, I will find someone else. I'm getting so tired of this crappy customer service every where i go. I have a feeling I'm a little more critical than others because I work in Customer Service, but this is rediculous!!!

Well, It's been quite the week. Sara started her new job at Kid's Come First in Rochester. She's been driving everyday and so far so good. I got a new job at Qwest. I will be working in our E-Commerce department.
Now before anyone goes posting about their billing problems or Qwest shuting your service off, which, by the way usually means you didn't hold up your end of the deal and pay us, I won't fix them. I can't. I can't work on friends accounts. ;) Sometimes i can have other co-workers help me though. I am usually afarid about being honest about where I work. Everybody blames me for their problems. I had some one come upto me and say it was my fault that they got shut off, I looked into it, and they hadn't paid in 3 months. I don't get the lack of responsability.
On another note I finally got the last receipt back from the collections people so we can move ahead with the house. I had a bunch of stuff left over from my foreclosure 4 years ago that i didn't even know about. I have gotten car loans since then and the bank never told me about anything!! I would have taken care of them sooner had I known! Oh well! Life happens!!
Church has been going great! Lots of growth in people. That's the best part to watch. I don't really care about the numbers of people, just where they are headed. It's a trip!! I went this week after an awesome smal group to talk with Sara's grandma about salvation and faith. That was a trip. I was at small group and I kinda felt the Holy Spirit tuggin at me to go see her. i was a little worried about what I would say. But, we have talked about Luke 12:12 ("for the Holy Spirit will teach you what needs to be said even as you are standing there.") at group before. It's an awesome verse and it happens when you obey the little voice in your head. She's in the Blooming Prairie nursing home. It was almost 11pm when i got there, but she had just woken up. We talked for about an hour. She said she felt alot better after we talked. She told me she was saved which put Sara and her aunt at ease. If you feel the Holy Spirit (aka that little voice in your head (the good voice not the bad voice)) gently prompting you to do something, try it. It will become a huge growth oppertunity. The more you listen the more he will give.

Ok, so i didn't post quite when i said i would. It's been a couple days and I found a new lender. I haven't heard anything from him since Friday, but I think no news is good news. At least that's what I am hoping. I appreciate everyone who has been praying for Sara and I through all this mess. I wonder sometimes why things happen the way they do. For some people everything just kinda flows. Now before anyone jumps down my throat about me being ungrateful, I am very greatful for what the Lord has blessed me with. I just sometimes wish i didn't always have to walk the hard path. Can anybody relate?

Ok, so it's been a while since my last post. My Wife and I have found a home in Rochester, MN that we want to buy to be closer to our church family. The problem is now the credit union. I have been a memeber for as long as i have ad a checking account. They told me yesterday, after 3 weeks of them saying there are no problems that now they can't fund my mortgage. I will write more this afternoon. Please if you see this pray for us.
