My family is caught up in civil litigation over the construction of our home. We paid the builder.The builder spent our money elsewhere and our home is unfinished and our money is gone, but we still have the mortgage. We filed a lawsuit, but it is unlikely we can recover our money. The expense of the lawsuit is rapidly eating up 20 years of careful financial planning for a family of 5 with a stay a home Mom.

God has blessed us in many ways over the years. We thought building this home was a huge blessing and we prayed over it before we undertook it. We wanted a little more room for our family and for us to be able to have our aging parents stay with us if need be. We thought about maybe taking in foster children when ours are older. We don't understand why this happened to us, but we trust God has some plan for us .

Right now, the emotional and financial stress of this is really taking its toll on a stay at home Mom who hasn't worked for pay in 15 years. We are living in our half finished home, but it is impossible for Mom to make the place home in its present state. She feels like she is failing at making home a happy safe and stable place for the family.

We don't want anything more than enough of our money back to repair and finish our home.
So far, the builder has no incentive to settle the case. His legal costs are tax deductible as business expenses, and the longer he can drag this out, the longer he can stall off having to pay anything. He has lied to the court and is trying to shift the blame.

Please pray for us - for a fair outcome of this mess. I have been praying for 9 months now that God would grant us a swift and fair outcome of this mess. I have asked everyone I know to pray because this is taking a toll on Mom's health physically and emotionally.

Pray for us that God will make our path straight. Mom is struggling to know how she is supposed to be serving the Lord when this nightmare has taken all of our financial resources and has horribly disrupted our family stability. Mom is strugglig with going back to work at a low paying job which won't pay enough to fix our home or pay our legal bills but will take so much away from the kids.

We know God has a plan; We know God is in control. But we don't understand what we should be doing now, and as hard as we are praying, an answer hasn't come. We see little things that indicate God is with us, but Mom especially can't overcome her fears.

Thank you in advance for your prayers.
