The past few years have been quite a roller coaster for our family. Before my husband started working for Jergenson's he worked construction and would get laid off 4-8 months out of the year. Needless to say we were very poor. I did day care and that didn't bring in much money because I didn't have very many full time kids. When Joshua took his job at Jergenson's we were so blessed and very excited that he wouldn't be laid off any more. We had many bills that were past due and in those list of bills was our mortgage payment. We had started to get past due notices and high late charges added to your mortgage. After being 2 months behind the mortgage company decided to not accept payments from us anymore. We had been sending partial payments and everything we could but it just wasn't enough. So after they quit accepting payments we had to come up with the total amount past due and all the late fees which was a very large amount that we did not have. We finally got 6 months behind on our payments while trying to work with our bank to get caught up. Last year after we got our tax returns we paid all of our past due balance and then we refinanced our house through the bank to lower our interest rate and get our payments lower as well.
For the last year we have been doing really well on making our payments and staying up to date. On Friday while I was at work Joshua was served foreclosure papers on our house. Stating that we were $8000 behind and it needed to be paid up or our house will be sold March 30 at 10:00am. He called me in a panic and of course it was a Friday night so there was nothing we could do.
I called the bank on Monday( yesterday) and they told me that those were from a while ago and since we were all paid up now that we are not to worry. I asked them to send me that in writing and certified mail. I have no trust in the banking system and now me and my family will be totally embarrassed when it comes out in the newspaper. NO we are not loosing our house. If you would have asked me that a year ago sure I would have said yes. Now I am just mad, scared, and frustrated.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, Plans for a hope and a future.
I know God is in control but can't I still be mad, scared and frustrated all at the same time?
At times don't you feel like Job had it easy.
