What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

The biggest challenge that I think I’ll face, in the next six months, is deciding where to live.

I rented my very first apartment ever in the United States, only in 2020; almost five years ago, because after more than a quarter century of marriage; we parted ways.

“Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I found and joined the WordPress. The community offered me a platform to release the bottled-up emotions. I wasn’t ready to share the divorce out of love and respect for all the people it affected, particularly, my daughters. It was a lot of heartache, deceit, warfare (of the highest order all-round: spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally, etc.) But I will share and chronicle it all when I am fully ready. Sure, it takes two. My story. His story. But, I’ll share my version knowing that nothing was hidden from God.

God, where are You?
Why are You allowing this?

In it all, my question was: “God, where are You? And why are You allowing this?”

But, God, was in the midst of it all. Without Him, I couldn’t have survived it and still be here. It didn’t feel like it at the time, though.

That was a digress. But it needed to come out sooner or later.

Answering The Prompt

Anyhow, answering the prompt … I enjoyed my first apartment. But, over the years, the rent got increasing and increasing to an unjustifiable level, while the services offered kept decreasing or taking longer; staff were being rotated too often; elevators constantly breaking down and taking forever to fix; worst was having new people who weren’t obeying the building’s no-smoking signs. The last increase was what broke the camel’s back. I however loved that the building was peaceful and safe though someone once intentionally smashed my car and management was reluctant to share the video 🤔

The challenge, that I might face in the next six months, now lies in whether to continue to stay in California or try another State. Of course, I looked at the apartment building’s sister communities before the lease expired. But, it didn’t quite feel like home, I do sense in my spirit where God is leading me. I pray that I discern the place when I get there iNJ.

I might seize the opportunity, in the interim, to travel and check out some States. That would be great. Something I had always wanted to do. Consequently, I’d be living the gypsy’s life for a little.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

So, that’s the biggest challenge that I might seem to face in the next six months. But as a believer, nothing shall be impossible for my God. He will always make a way and those challenges, if any, will either come to enlarge my capacity and/or promote me. I, and we all, shall surely overcome the challenge/s in the Name of Jesus. 😊🙏🏾🥰
