Being an Apartment Community Manager, with the surroundings and the people within it, has been a struggle. Yes, win them over with Kindness, Love and Patience. I know this! I struggle to be Loving, when someone is yelling in my face because their air conditioner was not repaired on a timely manner and they have small children. Or, because I have to remove an individual or a family from their home, due to non payment. I have been blessed with a soothing voice that I can calm people down and have them see that their way is not working. I try with all of the ability God has given me to help. I do believe I am in the right place where I can share my life and point them into the right direction. It is exhausting at times, overwhelming, and sometimes I want to give up. But if I do I fear that the next person may not care. They may not care of giving the families the extra day so that they may find another home. Care enough to help in applying for a job because it’s in English. Bring their packages to their apartment because they could never reach us during business hours. Send them a birthday card or even call them and ask if they are comfortable in their new apartment home. What confuses me however is that I feel my strength is loving people…and my weakness is loving people!
Prayer requests
- I ask that you pray for all of the people in Orlando area find a job. Anything. Homelessness is rising rapidly.
- That I rely on God in all areas of my life. It is in His hands and not mine.
- And lastly that I hunger more for intellectual and spiritual knowledge of God’s Word.
