"The Deed"
Wow, it took me awhile, I was so regretting to change the deed to an "Unmarried Woman", and it seemed so complicated. I finally bit the bullet and refinanced, and when I did I said a little prayer, I prayed God please make this easy, it was so small but sincere and to my surprise it was easy. I finally closed out on my loan my house appraised for 310,000 I am laughing my way to the bank. I am so happy that I was not bullied into giving up my house, yes Mr. Man tried to take the house from me and I stuck my guns and said, "NO", honestly I did not really want the farm but it was the whole morale of the story. I bought this ranch because Mr. Man wanted to live in the country, raise goats and shit. Yes, that all it was, shit, it was all shit, he did not want to live out in the country, in the city or anywhere, he did not want to live anywhere with me. I saved every penny for a down payment $18,000 to be exact payed down all the credit, looked day and night to find something within budget and finally there it was my "ranch home" Mr. Man's reason for staying. Yes, staying with me knowing he did not love me anymore. I bought the house and happiness was short lived, maybe for 1 year, soon after his same old ways and it was worse, he just ignored me, I was so insignificant, and then he just left. But the house oh yeah he wanted it, and I did not give in, of course, I had all the girls with me at that time and it did not make sense for me to move out of a huge house to a small apartment but he sure did try and out of spite I said "No". Well, it has been a hard road, the home is a fixer upper, I have put in new floors, paint, don't forget the Well and kept up the yard, the girls are all gone now but I have my nephews who live with me now, I have worked "tooth and nail", and finally the home was ready to refinance. And that's when I prayed, I prayed "God please make this easy", and it was easy, I closed today, have more than enough money for a roof, pay the credit cards I got stuck with and enough to put a big down payment on another house. I am so happy, in more ways than one, a wonderful man, a house full of kids, (not my own), girls doing great and laughing all the way to the bank. Thank you, Mr. Man. Thank you Jesus for knowing better than I.
