Challenges

I do feel challenged. I received a letter from the HOA, a first violation notice for something my renters had put in. I never liked being a landlord; and to me, it's a stretch to have to deal with situations like this. However, I am grateful that my current situation is far better than my previous one. I spent some time yesterday in prayer, thanking God for the trials that come my way. I was reminded of the verse in Philippians to not be anxious, to be in prayer and thanksgiving. I just pray that through all these things, I will grow and develop proven character; becoming more and more the person He created me to be.
