eileen, God the Father loves you more than you even loved your mark. that kind of Love is will NOT do anything to send you back into depression. that would be cruel and our Father is not cruel. perhaps it is just an opportunity for you to check out other options regarding financing, whether for the old home of your aunts or your current home. but, i am convinced that God is working with you in different areas of your life. you are always in His hands eileen. i know that you have been shown this. you are experiencing the transition of not only knowing it, but living it.  we are all here for you.

That's a highly debatable thing there Claudia, good thing we ain't allowed to do that.  ;D Depending on how 'cruel' is defined and understood by the one receiving judgement/chastisement teaching and correction.

Eileen, I know you have been through a whole bunch as of lately and I really wish it would pass quickly for you and you can get on the other side of it and be in a time of rest and peace. I hope you didn't miss what lauriellen said but just in case you did, she said,

That, is right on the money! AMEN!

it could be on anything.

lauriellen:
dear eileen,
i hope you are feeling better about things today....you have been on my mind alot and i hope you will find encouragement here in the replies to your post.
A scripture that i have been going back to alot is:

Mat 21:44  And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

i don't know why, but this scripture has stuck in my mind and i do truely feel like all that i have (idols) are being 'ground to powder.'  All of my life, the most important thing to me was my family....that seems to be the first thing God is taking away....but the loss of my son lead me to learn the truth about God.
i too have been battling depression for a year & a half, and it is a battle i know.
But even in this i believe is a purpose. My family is also being destroyed by desease, addictions, broken relationships, rebellious teens, ect.....i know it is hard for me not to shake my fist at God with ANGER sometimes....i am constantly asking Him to forgive my IMpatience, my LACK of long-sufferring, ect...Jesus said (Matt 5) that we are BLESSED if we mourn, BLESSED if we are poor, BLESSED if we are persecuted, ect......i think we all FORGET that we are being BLESSED with our trials.....it certainly doesn't FEEL like a blessing, but i think therein lies our problem....we are too concerned with HOW WE FEEL....i don't think love, patience, longsufferring (fruit of the spirit) can be based upon how we feel.....if i exercised ONLY when i FELT LIKE IT, i would NEVER exercise!  if we wait on the WARM FUZZY FEELING' of the fruit of the spirit, it may never come....we just have to ACT, even when we don't feel anything. we have to KNOW that we are being blessed in our trials, even if it hurts deeply.
love to you,
lauriellen

Eileen, I agree with Claudia that this house might be a catylist for moving ahead. Gets confusing, doesn't it?
I quit trying to figure it all out, I go nuts when I do. Please look at the depression for what it is, grieving, loneliness, confusion and anger! Man's mind toward the sadness of life.
Do not confuse this with God.
I have wished that many yrs. ago I had bought a house that was, at the time, apparently over my head with regard to finances. It seemed best then.  Well, looking back, this was the best house for us for many reasons I was not aware that would come about.
love, Judy
