I should post more

Wow I really let this place go. I guess I am just not a faithful blogger I will have to get better at that. I have learned over the last month or so how people fall into depression and don't even know it. We are going through some trying times, mainly losing our house because of an adjustable rate. I thought I was ok but realized 2 weeks ago after church that all I had done for the last 5 weeks or so was lay around and do nothing. I would go to work but that was about it. Our Pastor spoke on Love 2 weeks ago and it was like a fog lifted off my brain, I kinda shook my head and just went wow where did that come from.

So now last week a big storage unit became available, and they are hard to come by here. That happened on Mon and then last friday the house we had applied for to rent, well we got it. Praise God he is so faithful. My wife said she knew I was depressed but didn't know how to tell me, I guess God did :) anyways now I gotta move all our stuff ughhhhh I hate moving . At least now with the big unit and the house will be available on 11-15 I can move stuff slowly and not have to pack the storage tight and will be able to find things. We are moving from 2500sf to 1600sf so we are gonna have to keep a storage unit but after we get all moved and settled we can get a smaller unit.

I also found out some interesting things about losing your house. If you leave before they completely forclose they will say you abandoned the house, also when they do sell the house you have to pay federal and state taxes on whatever money they lose??????? huh??? I don't get it but thems the rules. I did try to contact our loan company way back in Aug before we where behind and get something worked out and the guy looked up our account and said "you're not behind on your payments" when I explained to him that our rate had adjusted and we were not going to be able to make the new payment this guy actually said "well we won't work with you until you are in default" okey dokey I can arrange that, I just don't answer 800 numbers now.

But through all of this I have seen God work and work and work. I also now can have some empathy for people who fall into depression, I always wondered why don't they just get some help, talk to someone something, can't they see they are depressed? nope they can't.

I will try to post more often now, actually looked at this blog multiple times during all this and said "man I should post something" instead just didn't fell like it and went back to laying on the couch.
