In my heart I feel God is trying to tell me to let this be because he has a better plan for me. I just feel so attached to this house and I don't know why. I am not materialistic at all so I don't understand why it is so hard for me to let it go................ |
Refuse,
It's okay to be attached to your house, it's a human nature. Besides we as women are created to be very emotional. Men has emotions too but not as much as we women do. After work men goes home, don't say hi hello to his wife, take off his shoes, turn on tv, while reading the newspapers. Then here is his wife, worked hard too, just came to work and didn't even take off her shoes, goes to the freezer and look what she can cook for dinner while her mind was why didn't even the husband say hi to her or give her a hug or even ask her how's your day. She cooked the dinner, they ate, they went to bed, the husband was snoring, while the wife is still fuming unable to sleep, why because he didn't hug her or say hi to her. Is that normal, of course it is, we are created that way. But men no, they are macho, they don't cry, they don't hurt, but wait they do have emotions, they do cry and they are not macho, they just don't show it.
I was attached to my house too, I bugged Moe, ***, Professor Shays and Andrew to death asking, worrying, crying, sometimes laughing, because these guys made me laughed too. But reality sink in, can I afford the payments?
No, can I get a job after this uninsured driver hit me that caused me to be disabled and lose my job, No, I am consider senior now, I can get discount at all restaurants and senior coffee at donalds.
I've realized that what is more important is my life and not this house, what is more important is to have peace of mind. And also I have noticed that the value of homes are going down fast and I have to act fast to sell my house. Thanked God he helped me and my house was sold via Short Sale, Countrywide Home Loans paid 5% commission to my agent, no costs to me, the buyers paid an
extra $8k to pay for their closing costs.
I really thanked God for this site, Words can not expressed how I am grateful to Moe, ***, Professor Shays and Andrew. They just don't know how much help they have given to everyone in this site. I always thank God for them and pray for them too.
So please don't feel bad, it's ok to be attached to the house, it's like a grieving process, there's always a start and an end, and Now is the time to be detached from your house. Whatever your decisions will be I hope God will help you make the right decisions always and give you favor from your agent, your lender, your negotiator, your buyer and your buyer's agent and the buyer;s bank. Let's claim by the grace of God and the help of God that this house is now sold and all the balance owed is forgiven both by lenders and the IRS.
Thanks and God bless and take care.
Sincerely,
Faith
