shock.


I don't know if shock is the correct word. Maybe disbelief. No, I don't think it's that either.

Incredulity. Yes, that's it. Incredulity.

I am completely unable to emotionally comprehend the news I received this evening.

Without going into the exhausting financial details of my real estate investments, I will simply say that I have overpaid on interest for the past 2 years. So, a substantial refund is now awaiting me.

This means that my monthly holding costs will be significantly reduced until the overpaid difference is consumed.

In simple terms, over the next 7 or 8 months, my payment will be reduced almost 40%. I have not figured out all the numbers completely yet, but with the reduced payment, I may have sufficient savings to stay in school through the next term!

...and hopefully, this will bide enough time to unload the house...

I was not expecting an answer to prayer outside of selling the house, but since my main prayer has been to stay in school, this could be it.

As I said, I am unable to process this information right now - it may need to sink in before I can fully grasp its significance. Since the house remains unsold, I'm not yet in the clear, but regardless, this news is huge.

Thanks to all of you who have prayed, are praying, and will continue to pray for me. I can't express how much it means...

sweet, man. that's freaking awesome. nice illustration along with the news. it illustrates your 'incredulity' very well. nothing like seeing a dead man walk around with wounds still showing--maybe more than finding out about being able to stay in school. :)
