Critterhaven Farm

Amazing Grace...

Well one more day!  We are sending in a TON of money tomorrow to the mortgage company to save the farm!  I've sacrificed and sold goats, antiques, curios, other furniture, even some to my mom to make the goal.  We may be a little short but are borrowing from family to make the difference then paying back at the end of the month.

Don't be fooled by people telling you foreclosures can take up to 6 months.  Our auction date at the courthouse steps was a month after we got the letter from the lawyer.  Feb. 12 we got the letter...and March 12 is the foreclosure sale.  After being 45 days late on the mortgage.  And they WILL send your money back.  Ours sent back our Dec. payment and said they would our Jan. too so don't send it.  Now when I see foreclosures in the paper I won't think what I did before.  I've been there...and I know it isn't because we have been working our rears off to get money to the mortgage company.  Stuff is not everything.  Family and home is. Amazing what you can still learn at 41!

What's really hard is when people drive by slow then stop and turn around in your  driveway...you know they are checking out the property that is still yours! Like vultures waiting for you to lose the place and they will get a 'deal'...I know now I will never do that to someone.

I just want to let everyone know what their kindness and prayers have meant to us.  People have offered us money even tho they didn't have it.  We didn't take it but am so grateful to people for offering.  I even had one lady go out and buy two lottery tickets trying to help!  Another friend had me list a goat for her and when it sold gave me 1/2.  Some people are amazing and I feel so selfish.  My entire life has been changed by this for the better.  Most people really are good at heart and come together in a crisis.  We have so many sick at our church from diseases, cancer, car accidents, so even with this on us I still feel truly blessed.  I was told God would not put something in our path we could not overcome.

With our thanks to God and everyone's prayers and purchases, we have overcome.

Just goes to show someone is always watching out for you!

We have been exactly where you are. Keep trusting in God. Now 4 years later God has abundantly blessed us and going through the situation I now know better how to trust God when it looks like nothing is happening and God is silent. We now can look back and see just where God was working.
