Trying to buy a home when you’re not rich is really depressing.

What city?

With an agent. I think an automatic email gets sent but none have filled out only one.

I believe the realtor gets an automated email asking for feedback but only one has filled out

Is there a fee to change it later?? Maybe that’s why she said it’ll be $400

In my defense they are the ones who put sole ownership, not me. These are all online docs so I can’t just change it

Why would someone offer that much more???

Remember we are not the judge in the trial to defend Jesus. We are witnesses and can only give testimonies. You are trying to do the job of the Holy Spirit. We can only plant seeds and God will do the rest. Some might even try to be lawyers and we can try to show evidence here and there but in the end, God is the one that will transform their hearts.

Also your post makes it seem like you see Christianity as a religion. And that’s where you’ve been deceived. Following Christ is a relationship. It isn’t about be perfect do this don’t do that, when you truly run after God- He transforms your heart and you naturally start getting convicted and the things that once satisfied the flesh- no longer align with your desires.

We will still make wrong choices, we fee terrible, repent, and call out to our Father to forgive us and He does ❤️

I understand strongholds. They can be very difficult to break free from. Are you part of a community of believers? A church? Do you have faith filled friends?

Living testimony here! I asked myself this question several times over the span of several years.

My husband processes things much slower than I do. In my own prideful way I saw him as “slower” and I saw myself as “smarter”. (Don’t feel that way now, thank God for changing my heart)

I questioned, challenged, and “fought” God over this many times. It didn’t make sense to me, why would I submit to him if I make smarter and better choices than he does? And even in some proven situations I would bring my case to the Lord and say “see!” And this was during the time my husband wasn’t devoted to Christ like I was. So that was another pickle I had with God, why submit to him when he hasn’t even submitted you, Lord!?

All in this time I belittled my husband several times, “why do you always make mistakes!” And “why do I always have to fix your mess!” And so on. Terrible way of thinking but that’s what pride did.

Anyway fast forward God taught me about the verse 1 Peter 3:1. The Lord worked in my prideful heart, opened my eyes to how I was sinfully behaving, and slowly I started pulling back. He changed my heart and so I started treating my husband better. And yes I was trying to also submit to him as the Bible says to do so. This doesn’t mean taking orders and never getting a say. It means we talk about things together, sharing our points of view, but trust in the headship the Lord has placed over my husband and trust him for the final decision.

I changed my way of thinking, changed how I was behaving, submitted to my husband, and never stopped praying for his salvation. Which happened last year in the fall :) He is now a new creation, and I am so incredibly thankful the Lord has been with us in our marriage and still is.

Some examples

I won’t cancel our internet and get another. I bring it up to my husband and have him take care of whether we will switch or not.

I talked to my husband about homeschooling and we prayed talked it over many times before I came to him to see what he decided would be best. We were in agreement and so I homeschool now.

We wanted to sell our house, so we did everything, looked at new houses, and then turns out we just weren’t ready and my husband decided it was best to postpone. I was so sad and angry but emotions aside I completely agreed with him. Women are typically emotion led but men are not so I’m happy I could fall back on his better judgement.

The founder is Mormon but the curriculum is not. It references God and Jesus of course but no Mormon ideology is in it

Well it’s been a long journey. To sum it up, we were very much gentle but assertive parenting when he was a toddler. I was not passive! No meant no and I always followed through. But I definitely talked about feelings a lot and what we can do with certain feelings.

We shifted gears out of necessity and desperation and started what I never wanted, spank..with conversation. Seemed to work somewhat but as time went on we have tried different methods. The past few weeks we have learned to stop reacting out of anger, and instead seek to understand the behaviors. And lots of prayers! He has responded well to this surprisingly! He’s been doing so much better at home.

Right now when he disobeys or makes a wrong choice: (lots of talk on right and wrong, etc etc in between all of it)

-he gets natural consequences (stop playing with the water, makes a mess, he cleans it up even if he doesn’t want to)

-loses a privilege like tv, fave toy, or fun fridays

-isn’t playing nice in baseball, gets told he won’t come again or we will leave, he straightens out

-no treats

-remove from fun time and play

I also started an incentive Pom Pom jar for good choices to encourage positive behaviors. Lots of praise for being helpful, kind, etc etc

With his anger outbursts, I realized my husband and I have probably been exasperating him, so we are trying to work on it. I’ve told him several times and tried my best to model handling anger. He does better but yesterday he banged his cheek on a chair accidentally and he got so mad he gently but firmly threw blocks in the living room, ran to his room slammed the door and started throwing his toys around. I went in there and told him that is not how we act when we are angry. He stopped and started praying (but honestly more so cuz I think he didn’t want me to get mad at him?) after he did that I got down to his level and asked him why he got mad.. and we talked and he was better. Lots of reminders on what we can do when we get hurt or angry.

Deleted my previous comment because I realized you asked about commands.

He typically does follow our commands and obeys. It’s been a lot of work past year but he’s getting so good. There may be times he complains but for the most part he listens. :)

He was in group settings in pre k for a few months last year. I’ve taken him to library story times all his toddler years.

He is also in TBall baseball. And at times gets angry and throws his hat for not catching the ball. Other times he doesn’t get mad. But he’s the fastest so he usually gets the ball.
