Just asking for travel safety for our family members who are on a flight to Amsterdam then to Kenya for a three week stay with our daughter in law's family. She and my son took little Rosie along and our other son went with them, too. Pleases pray that all goes well with the long flights for Rosie and that they are kept safe. They will go on a safari and also spend a few days on the coast. But most of the time will be spent at her grandparents home. Her Mom and aunts are flying there, too, for this reunion.
So, should be a blessed visit with all of them together.
The repair process has not started yet, but we are working with a contractor who says they should be able to do all the repairs for what our insurance is covering. It's just a waiting game for now. With all this being said, our insurance is paying for a new roof, new windows, new siding on the entire back of our house, new gutters and gutter helmet replacement, refinishing our deck, and other miscellaneous items that were damaged. The sad part is that our house is not even two years old yet. Thankfully it is only outside damage.
I'll send an update once all is complete. I am also praying for a peaceful resolution for you and your husband's situation with your neighbor. I wanted to comment on this last night but I was a little angry after reading about what you are going through. I guess I just need to calm down a little and trust that the Lord is going to do what is right.
I am glad that things are getting approved by the insurance company, that is the first step and sometimes the most frustrating. But, then again, I imagine that the contractors in your area are over-booked since the storms. So, I will pray that time opens up quickly for a contractor who will do a great job on your home.
Thanks for your prayers about our boundary dispute with our neighbor. We got an email cease and desist letter from the neighbor's attorney ordering us not to begin building our fence. We had the contractor all ready to begin this week and now we have to put it off.
We contacted an attorney and sent him the documentation he needs to review our case to determine if he can take it. We sent these in an e-mail along with the neighbor's attorney's letter and a letter from us to our attorney speaking to what was notated in the letter from the neighbor's attorney. Good thing I have an excellent memory, as I could recall so much that has been said and done in the years since he moved in for evidence. We never wrote anything down of any conversations or agreements with the neighbor because we never dreamed this would happen as our relationship has been friendly and peaceful since this situation.
We have never needed to have an attorney except for our will and certainly not for any type of litigation. So, I, too, have waves of anger, but I keep praying to think rightly about this neighbor. He needs salvation and I want to be a good witness as well as keeping a check on my emotions and attitudes. I want to please God most of all. It is a challenge with this, but I know that the Holy Spirit is working in me to become more Christ-like with this trial. I am encouraged knowing this is so.

You got it, may the Lord be with them and keep them safe!
How is your home repair going from the storm?
