Our finance team's part of the audit is slowly coming to a close. It has been a rough couple of weeks and now it is time to catch up with "business as usual". We are experiencing a few hang ups that are making it a bit challenging. We are all in the same boat though so there is nothing you can do but be supportive and plough through.
It is a season that has left me feeling a bit brain dead most days, today being one of them, so I'll admit writing today is challenging. I do ask myself though, without challenges to overcome, what would life be? It is precisely all of these challenges that make the measure of the man...or woman. Our true character is pushed to the surface.
There are times when that brings joy, but there are also times when that can bring pain because what lies beneath the surface may not be the true characteristics that God desires us to display as children of God. What it does do though is it forces one to be real and honest with yourself and that can only be good.
These are the times that bring the most growth and when you see changes within yourself that bring a positive result, it is so rewarding. God desires that we constantly grow, not only in our relationship with Him and others, but more importantly with ourselves. As we work through the challenges of life we learn our own strengths and are then able to function more effectively in those strengths in the future.
