Prayer Request

[Guest guest]

Hello! I want to thank you all for such a lovely,

warm welcome. I feel like a part of a wonderful

group with such a Beloved subject in common 8-).

 

I am also writing to ask for prayers and possibly

advice. I have found myself in a very difficult

position and I need help. Here it is in brief:

My father and grandmother passed away and left me

a little inheritence. I decided to buy a home.

In September of 2000 I asked a company to come

and paint my home. Well it seems that I hired

some people that ... well they did a very poor

job and never even finished! I paid them a little

more than I should have but with hopes they would

do a good job. About 3/4 of the way through the

painters quit the job! I was unhappy in many ways

but happy too because they were so unreliable and

did a bad job. I thought the whole thing was done.

Well now the contractor I used to get the job done

billed me for *more* money and when I told them the

job was bad they filed a lien on my house! Now they

are taking me to court and I could lose my home over

this! My lawyer says that this contractor is a well

known thief and they have lots of money and have

no conscience at all. 8-(. He said they can afford

to drag this out until I have no money left and lose!

I am so frightened to lose

my home! I have told my story during a deposition and

they just lied about everything and said I fired the

painters and that they did a lovely job and I should

pay them!

 

I hope this letter is not too long and I hope you don't

mind me asking for help. I have been trying to learn from

this situation and have worked very hard on being compassionate

towards them... I am trying to find a way to not be entangled

with these people. On the other hand it's hard not to be

so angry. It feels like... they are siphoning my money,

my hope, my home and my health.. like vampires. it is

so very dark and spooky.

 

Well thank you for listening and if anyone can please pray for

me or offer me some advice I would appreciate it from the bottom

of my heart. Oh, I don't mean legal advice 8-). I mean

spiritual 8-).

 

with love,

lilith
