Though the Michigan trip was meaningful, it was also difficult for Nelson, with his low energy from the cancer. By this day, it was good to be home again, in Minnesota.

“Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.” (Psalm 28:6-7)
He sure did hear my cry… at many different times in life, and I’m so thankful to him for it. Even though my cries wavered back and forth, he still listened and came to my rescue.
Lord, I’m alive today only because you listened to me when I called. You listened and answered me many times. Here we are in the middle of this house-buying process, and it seems a little shaky, and it will really be you, Lord, if we get the financing.
There is no problem with the owner wanting to sell and sell it to us. The only problem is with the bank believing we can make the payments to pay them back. Our life is way too abnormal.
I pray we can have the “yes” on this house but that you would stop us if it’s something we should avoid. Even though we are all set and want it really bad, I pray you would help us to avoid disaster.
The owner seems like a nice guy, and it seems like you brought us to this house specifically, but I pray you would point out anything I don’t see or any other things we might be missing or stop us altogether unless this is a good deal for us. Thank you Lord that you are so faithful with that kind of stuff. We can’t possibly see everything, but you do. Amen.
We’re back up in Rochester from Michigan. It was nice to be there, but it’s nice to be back too. For me, all the people can get tiring. I’m sure if we lived there, it wouldn’t be so draining, but for the short term, it’s a bit much for me. We like our little apartment here, and it fits us.
We have my nice big fish tank, and now with all the winter gear we brought back from Mom’s place, we’re set for it to cool down. Although right now, it’s still in the 80’s. lol.
