My wife and I have our WA house pending sale, and we are in FL looking for our new house. I am asking for prayers that we will find the right place to escape the hellhole WA has become. We are nearing retirement age and while I am grateful I can keep working my same job remotely (with a 10% pay cut to go full remote, but the lower cost of living should make up for that), the stress and anxiety of this change is weighing on both of us and what we thought were going to be reasonable downsized replacements have all had far more problems (water damage; wood rot, insect infestation, etc) than our budget will allow us to deal with, given the rise in interest rates and the remaining balance on the old house. I pray God will take away all the anxiety heal our mental state, and bring us to the right house that will suit us for the rest of our lives, in an area with others of similar love for God, our Constitution,and the freedom he gave us.
Thanks
Dear Lord: Please go before this family and make their path straight! Give them clear guidance, and show them the next step in their walk with you. We know YOU Love them Lord, so find a buyer for their old home so they can move into the new home. May every step of this process be lead by You Lord. I am excited to hear the praise report of the New Home YOU have for them. In Jesus name Amen!
Amen.
Amen!
Amen. 🙏🙏
Amen
I’m praying for both of you , I’m so happy for you ! I’m in San Diego so I understand . Are u set on Flordia , I know Alabama right next to Florida,s border is a nice place and a bit better in price . As hard as it is , call on the spirit of God to direct your path , “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5, He will direct so just turn it over as you said you did and let that stress go ! and declare the peace of God over both your lives . Phil 4:6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Remember God hasn’t given you a spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind. in the name of Jesus I command the devil to take his hands off of the minds of this couple, they will lie down in peace , they will wake in peace . I ask you Lord to send the house of their dreams to them for the price they can afford. Bless them Lord abundantly! Amen
Yeah old so positive and uplifting! I love your post. I am sure who are you now, but will be heading to California once I get home. Still praying! Thank you for being such an uplifting person.
Been thinking of you past couple weeks , so happy you had some time in paradise , some day will do Hawaai together ! Thanks Fren and hope to see you soon
So happy for you , there’s a lot worse places , you live in a beautiful part of our country , good for you ! , I can’t wait to get there again ;)
I know , it’s a horror , but atleast your water is warm ,,, I’m in San Diego, I have commies here to , but my water is cold and not blue lol
And For reasons obvious Florida housing market is ridiculously expensive compared to some other states! Just had an acquaintance buy a Florida home after 3 or 4 attempts of getting outbid. Paid over a million for a small ranch style house.
Hope you can pay cash at least. Most of the sales here in my area are from buyers with cash that sold a NY or California house.
Honestly saying this from my heart - I am 60 and my husband is 77. He and I went through the same type of exodus from NC. We found a red state with a wonderful pro 2nd Amendment governor. Low property taxes (none if you're disabled)
Sweet Home Alabama
Well, pretty soon NC will be deep red again. You left too soon.
Not. Fort Bragg will always be Fort Bragg to me. Governor Roy - my 2nd cousin will always live there - hate his guts for what he has done.
:o(
I recommended Alabama as well lol , I’ve been there once , I live in San Diego
Dear Lord, guide this couple to the place you have prepared for them to be. Let them see you at work in their lives. Bring them to a new church family where they may be fed with your bread of eternal life and hear your Word preached faithfully. Help them with all aspects of their move and let them grow stronger in their trust in you. Fill them with your peace. I ask all this in Jesus' Mighty name, Amen.
May the Lord open doors that no man can open and close doors that no man can close. Pray, trust and keep your faith, Jesus will lead you to the right home. Thank Him for every day and for already answering your prayer. You will know the second you see it.
Dude, I pray you find solace, peace, success, and prosperity. In Jesus name, let it be so. :)
Will do.
I pray that you find the peace of mind and joy that my family has found moving out of NY. It’s 100% the right move. I pray for god to bless this undertaking and deliver you from stress and strife. Everything will fall into place.
U can’t sell a house u hate. Think of the all best memories u have in the house and wish the new buyers could have more good memories than yours and safety etc… u ask God to protect the future owner and their children and grandchildren if any…
consider southern Alabama...
I recommended Alabama as well , what cities are southern , I’ve only been to orange beach ! It was so nice
Dothan has everything you need while having the atmosphere of a small town. Enterprise is the home of Ft. Rucker, an Army helicopter training base. Either one about an hour drive to the ocean.
Had a client move there about five years ago. They love it.
Here's an novel idea, don't move to Florida, it is on It's way to becoming a hell hole.
When a house comes on the market, the investment groups will try to snap it up quickly. Your best hope is to have all you ducks in a row so that if you find something that suddenly appears on the market, to be able to close the deal very quickly.
When I got my current house, we got a heads up from my mother-n-law who was in real estate that it was going to hit the listings very soon. We got everything on our end ready to go so that we could drop a bid right away. After we closed on the property we heard through the grapevine that some other big realtors were very angry that we beat them to the punch.
God does help those who help themselves; look in the panhandle (northwest FL) and stay clear of big cities. I am sure some of our Florida frens can pipe up and give some more fine-grained location advice.
And, because you asked: Dear Lord please help and guide our friends as they change their home. amen
You'll be in my prayers.
Prayers on the way fren.
