So, some of you know that I have owned a condo in Charlotte for about 4 years now. I’ve tried to sell it 3 times, but I’ve failed each time. Recently, the A/C broke and the property continues to live up to being the biggest money pit in my life. I’ve prayed about it more than almost anything else my entire life, I’ve fasted while praying that it would sell or rent last fall and I’ve even contemplated on more than one occasion finding a friend who just really likes to play with fire.
I feel like it’s ‘a thorn in my flesh’ as Paul described in 2 Corinthians 12:7. It continues in 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 ‘Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time He said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.’ Maybe God has given me this burden of the condo to keep me humble as he did Paul or maybe he has directed my steps as it says in Proverbs and I just don’t understand yet why I’m supposed to own it. I always default to the fact that there may be no reason why or why not, it may just be the way life is.
If I could request your prayers that God would continue to provide me with the money to pay the mortgage and also pray that I would be able to sell the property soon.
