Sep. 17, 2009~ It is 100% Done (the water easement for The House That God Built!) ~
I am sooooooooooo happy to say that I can finally say that it is ...DONE ! Our neighbor FINALLY signed the water easement papers and it is DONE. Okay you can see that I am totally thrilled can you? LOL We have been waiting for this for over three years.( if you want to know what I am talking about ....go to my links and hit the one that says...The House That God Built. You can read the LONG journey that we have been on.) To be honest I am sitting here kinda dumb founded. It almost doesn't feel real but it is. Maybe it will feel more real once the backhoe comes in and starts digging. We won't have the full system in till next summer b/c the fisheries department will only give us the window of time to get the system put into the creek in July/August time. But we can get everything else done and put in the mean time. I am thankful we have completed the hardest most patience required part of our journey. It is done, PTL !
"If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play!
If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in
a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents.
The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them
be." ...Charlotte Mason
Aug. 4, 2009~ The House That God Built ~ Water Easement Update ~
Today's result of our water easement hearing came out okay. Not the worst case senerio but not as well as we had hoped. Things are delayed one more step.
.
We happened to get the judge that heard our case the last two hearings and he was the judge for todays. The judge tends to try to help out our neighbor as much as he can for some reason. Our lawyer noticed this too. ( intresting) He has given our neighbor one last chance to get legal advice and was said to submit a good reason why he cannot sign the water easement. We used the common form of water easement that has been used for over 100 years. The judge tried to point out that we are only asking for a easement for the water and to be able to maintain the water and nothing else. So unless he can come up with a good reason why he cannot sign this then it will be pushed through as the end of the month. This is the quick and easy summery of the court hearing today. We asked the judge if our neighbor could pay the court costs but the judge said we would have to pay our own expenses. ( which shows how he favored or friendly neighbor again. hmmmmm) But life goes on. Once again I am praying that our neighbor will just go in and sign the papers or that he won't show submit any good reason why he can't sign the papers. ( I really cannot think of any good one. We accepted his offer for the water easement...duhhhh. Okay I am done letting out my frustration) I will keep telling myself the truth...God is in control and it will all work out for the good who follow Him. (Romans 8:28 )
Thank you soooooooooooo much for all the prayers. I am sad to ask but please for any who are willing please pray a little longer.
