One week...

In exactly one week, Julianna and I will be home-owners.

We hope.

Today, I got a call from the mortgage company telling me that our funds were coming up a little short — like, only $220.00 short. This was not a fun conversation, as I didn’t comprehend why this was (nor could I comprehend why this amount actually mattered in a six-figure purchase). Not to mention that just last week, everything was all set. I still don’t totally understand, but, the fact is, we are short and we have to figure out how to get this money before Friday.

The biggest problem has to do with gaining the funds in a “legal” manner. You see, we can’t just deposit the cash…or even a check — any money that the mortgage company will accept has to have proof of it’s origin (and, if it’s a check, proof that the payee’s bank account has been maintained for a certain amount of time and has sufficient funds for the check to be able to clear).

There are ways to do this, but…

It’s all too much.

I’m frustrated and a little stressed out. (And even moreso because this all became known to me after calling all of the utilities and starting service.)

Why can’t this be easy?

I need prayer.
