Prayer Thread Part 3.

Good morning.

Prayers for all here.

May everyone have a day of clarity and peace.

Praying for all in need.

The time has come to walk away from my house. I was going to try to tough it out one more year, but my insurance company entered into receivership. Getting another company to insure me would require an inspection. My roof alone will fail me. I just needed to tell someone. I'm to embarrassed and ashamed to tell the few friends I have.

I know there are places buying homes for cash without having to do repairs. Maybe that would work. I'll have to look into it more.

Anyway, just asking for prayers. I'll probably leave Florida. I have a friend in Texas who needs out of her living situation. It's not an emergency so maybe we can figure something out. I haven't even told her yet.


Thanks for lending an ear, and any prayers.

Prayers said for all.

Praying for your husband.

Praying for you.

In Louisiana we have Citizen's Insurance, which is an insurer of last resort. Is there anything like that in Florida? Praying it works out for you.

I'll look into that! Thank you.

It seems like the car repair issue is contagious. My dad's car is in the shop for a few weeks, my son's car is in the shop, and last night, on the way home from meeting Toby, my husband got a punctured tire...so now his car is in the shop. Uck!

Praying for your car issues to be resolved and praying for sweet Jewel.

I found the agency for Florida. It's called Citizens Property Insurance Corporation. [link to www.citizensfla.com (secure)]

Prayers being sent

Thank you

I took a look at some reviews when you first mentioned that company. It seems they still require repairs before they'll insure. I'll have to investigate further, and of course get in touch with them.

I just found out today I'm losing my insurance. I'm currently in freeze mode, just sort of letting things sink in. I'm off tomorrow and Saturday, so I'll contact them then.

Thank you for all the lovely responses and prayers for me.

Hopefully I can update with some good news, and get somewhere temporary to stay until I sort my self out

However, when I look at the other posts I know that my problem is a small one compared to the what other posters are sharing.

My heart is with you all as a group.

No hardship is small while you're going through it. What I mean is our mental and physical reactions are just as bad sometimes, even though yes, others may have it worse.

I pray your arm is healing and you can update us with some good news soon.

I feel for you ! My old house needed so much repairs, I had to sell it for less than half of what I had into it, and less than what we paid for it 22 years ago. I got $50,000 for it from a neighbor across the street,who wanted to buy it for his son, and also was a handyman.The cash for houses people only wanted to give me $20,000. If I wanted to stay, to make the house up to code and truly decent, would have cost me close to $200,000. 32 out of 34 windows had to be replaced, new wiring, foundation work, ceilings, walls, the kitchen needed to be gutted and totally redone, etc. The windows alone were going to cost me $85,000.There was no way I could do it. FTR, it was a 10 room mini-mansion with a 1/4 acre lot and a small pond.One person can't upkeep that large of a property or home. I had to say goodbye to it.
OTOH, since they could do some of the work themselves, it would only cost them for materials, where I would have to get contractors to do all the work.It was feasible for the people who bought it, but not for me.

You are better off selling it as is, and list it with a realtor. You will get more money that way, even though the realtors fees will take a bit of it.

Praying for you, my Friend !!!

We are all being tested right now ! But God will take care of us !

I'm not sure a realtor would want to bother. I mean, it's in pretty bad shape. I still owe a lot on it. I guess it wouldn't hurt to call and talk to a realtor.

I remember when you posted about your decision to let your house go. It's a hard thing to do sometimes.

It doesn't hurt to call a realtor. The cash for houses people don't pay hardly anything.
It was very hard to leave, but I had no choice. If my kids were still at home, I would have stayed and at least got the foundation and electric done to make the house safe.

We are finally starting to fell better. I don't even know how long we were sick this time. My ears are a little plugged up, but we're much better.


Thanks for the prayers, much love.

God Bless you all.

My friend Jessica needs prayers and/or positive vibes big time.

One of her almost 3 year old twins managed to sneak out of the back door yesterday while she was napping with the other twin. The police brought that twin home and now DCF is involved.

Jess is on the edge of sanity and bad decisions right now. She needs strength and love so badly right now. She just came by and I gave her the biggest hug I could possibly give.

She's losing strength and hope really quickly. I need her to stay strong for her kiddos. For herslf.

I'm afraid for her right now. Please my friends, send anything you have, spiritually, religiously, anything. She needs it right now.

:(

I don't know how much strength she has left.

Praying for healing for Jess.
