Buying the house - setback

We heard from our lender that we really don't qualify for the house we want to buy, two weeks after he said that we did. Bad news. And it's true unfortunately. However, that is not the end of the story. Our daughter, Christine, who wanted us to get out of the motorhome, is working on her financial paperwork this weekend to see if she qualifies to buy the house. I have a very good feeling about this house being the one we are supposed to live in. So I have faith all will work out right. Setbacks seem to actually be the norm for those living by faith. They are little or big tests of our faith. That is how our faith is strengthened. I do believe that God is in control of our lives and of all things concerning our lives, and He is able to make it all happen, and in the meantime, our faith in Him is strengthened.
I love to get things free from Craig's List and Freecycle. There are so many things coming up lately that we will need in our new house, but I can't go get them because I have no place to store them. I see these as promises from God that when we do need them, He will provide. I do not need to worry or rush. I am resting in Christ's peace and confident that all of our needs will be met at the right time and in the best way.

God Willing

This is a documentary about the group I was a member of in the '70's. It was made by the aunt of one former member to give voice to the parent's loss and pain as well as convey the cult members' deep conviction and genuine desire to live according to God's wishes. I have been sent a director's cut DVD. It is expected to be shown on PBS stations in April, May and June. When I have watched it, I will probably comment on it. I believe I was recorded when I shared my story at a CAN (Cult Awareness Network) seminar several years ago, so I may be in this movie.

The chapter may be ending soon

We are now looking for a house to buy, so my life in a motorhome may be coming to an end soon. I really think I could continue to live here this way for the rest of my life, but alone in this tiny space would be easier than sharing it with another. So, we are looking to move. This all started when my daughter, Christine, a financial planner and insurance salesperson, decided that she needed to plan for my old age if I wasn't going to do it. She planned to buy a house for us and we would rent it from her. However, her real estate agent convinced her that it would not be in her best interest to have the debt of our house on her record when she wanted to buy a house for herself in the near future. So we submitted our documentation and found that we qualified to buy a house ourselves. We already own two houses and have tenants, but we do not want to live in these houses.
Coincidentally, we found out last week that our tenant in California is no longer on welfare and couldn't afford her rent and was moving out without giving us notice. Duane went to the house last week to get some of our stuff we had left behind only to find the house trashed. There was a stench that caused him to gag, and the carpet was soiled with dog feces, and the counters covered with half eaten, rotting food. This is a mobile home in a park, and we are somewhat behind in rent, so we are giving it to the park in lieu of the back rent. So that chapter is definitely ending: we are no longer landlords of that house. Our house in Logandale, NV is occupied by a wonderful couple, pastors of the local church, and has been lovingly cared for. We would like to have them purchase it and be done with that burden also, even though it has been a joy to have this relationship with them.
We made an offer on the first house we were shown and it has been accepted. But it is a "short sale" and could take three months to finalize. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/939-Lester-Ave-Reno-NV-89502/7264697_zpid/ In the meantime, we are free to continue to look, which is what we plan on doing tomorrow.
