I drove past the lot. Most of you are probably sick of hearing about our building situation. But, with clinical depression I'm prone to worry about the unknown. Lately, this picture shows our main hindrance, to getting a new home situated on our lot. Well, I stopped looking at this piece of property, those negative thoughts were driving me crazy. Today after church, I decided to drive past the property. Low and behold, the water is gone! Steve won't be putting in our foundation. The contractor who puts the pre-fab home in, will be paid to complete the brick laying, also. I didn't fully understand this, but Jay seems to know what's going on. He keeps in contact with Cody, the who's one in charge of this purchase and sale. Am I eager to get the ball rolling? Not any more! Instead, I'm enjoying the remainder of this summer, to the max Tomorrow I might even go to the beach, which I haven't done in a long time Photo: Taken by Jay in June

Once they start the foundation, I will definitely get a picture to share.

I would be at the beach a lot, if one were nearby and I could go. So relaxing and enjoyable, I hope you go! When I was married, we built several homes and did the majority of the work ourselves. It was beyond stressful, and takes at least twice as long as it is supposed to, no matter what. I know yours is to be a pre-fab, that will definitely help, I hope it arrives and you get in it before winter.

The reason we switched to a pre-fab house, Jay's back is getting worse. Plus, we are short on time. I can't sun myself, I get pre-cancer spots.

@kobesbuddy I have never been able to be out in the sun without sunblock. I burn in about 5 minutes, it seems.

And if I worry, it never solves anything! In my mind, the problem seems bigger when I dwell on it:(

I sure hope they can get the foundation done before the snow flies.It shouldn't long at all to construct the ore fab once that's done.

@kobesbuddy where are you storing all your belongings? Do you have a storage locker or something?

I estimate that once they get started, the home will be livable in maybe a week.

@kobesbuddy I can understand. However, I've learned in my time on this earth, that giving up is pointless. I know it's not possible to be positive all of the time, but I've learned to be thankful and happy about least one thing a day. And, I'm thankful for you and the house finally starting to progress. I know how decouraged you are, as waiting and setbacks can take their toll on the strongest of people. Hang in there.

You are wise to leave it in the hands of the Lord Kharla, He will provide. Enjoy your time at the beach tomorrow.

I turned(almost) every hair white, trying to deal with about ten issues. Now, I'm throwing in the towel, my health is more important than anything I'm facing.

The Bible teaches, to "Be still and know that he's God!" This basically means, 'take my hands off and let God handle things.'

It's hard not to worry sometimes. I hope the building starts to happen soon.

I hope that your home will be built soon. I hope that you feel better soon after you go to the beach tomorrow.
