The Builder

Today, I was thinking about the thought that is in my head when things around me fall. What I mean by this is that I see our lives as a journey where we build constantly building. I think of it like building a house because, like a house, we are only as sturdy as the foundation we have & the world we build around us. If the walls fall down, what do we have left? What we have left is the foundation we have built & if our foundation is not solid we can feel lost & unsteady.

The significance of this ties into the fact that Jesus was a carpenter. In essence, he was a home builder. I consider myself to be very faithful & it is on my faith that I chose to build my house. Now, I can say that if things do fall in my life, they fall around me & not on me. I recently went through a tragedy that only a select few know about, but that brought my world down on me & it was the hardest thing I have ever & will ever have to go through. This event helped me change my thinking & feeling & changed my life in one of the most positive & significant ways. I can honestly say that I can speak of the feelings reflected because I have felt them.

Now, I am a better brother, man, & friend. This is all due to help from my faith. I have re-confirmed my foundation & begun to rebuild my house even better than before. The thing with faithful people is that we are challenged & are rewarded in excess of the size of our challenges for overcoming them & sometimes our houses must be taken down to make them into what we deserve. So, if things begin to seem to fall please think of my words if you think that they will help you & remember your faith. If you ever need a friend, feel free to get in contact with me. Peace, LOVE, & Happiness to you all!!!

Bless You!
