My Season Now ~ Stella

As I mention before my season right now is full of changes. So when truly evaluating what my season is right now it was hard to focus on one thing or one area. Did I look at my spiritual season, or my season as a wife, mother daughter, friend, work, or ministry!? The options are overwhelming. But after giving it some thought and talking to my husband,  realized I am in a building season.

Not only are we building a home, but I am...

Building my faith- I am digging deeper into Gods word than ever before, and trusting Him with my entire life!
Building my husband up - more than ever as he is leading our family through so much change, letting him know I trust him, I believe in him and deeply love and respect him.
Building up my children -holding them close, daily loving on them, teaching them about our heavenly father, and teaching them how to build up their own faith and how they too can dig deeper.
Building a new home- with all the changes in our lives the last year I am excited to be done with our new home. I do love seeing my husband teach my oldest hot to drill, nail, and  measure things. I love how my daughter offer to help with any task no matter how big or small, and I love watching my youngest make a fort with 2x4s...lol! I must say it is a family event!
Building a ministry- Seeing what God has planned come to pass and being able to see more of the big picture of His vision, His purpose and how He is using my family is breathtaking. It's only the beginning too so I am looking forward to seeing what else is in store.
Building a business- for many years I have had a passion for photography, and  I am happy to finally venture and start my own photography business.. Not to mention my husbands business which he just received his license approval for... yeah!
Building on relationships- I must say I miss my Mommy! She is still in Ohio and I talk to her more now than when I lived a few doors down from her. She is such an inspiration to me.  This also goes for building  friendships. As I was painting for hours yesterday I made a list of about 20 people God placed on my heart to call. I can't wait to call them and see how they are doing, and what our God has done in their lives. Like my dear friend Wendy who has been praying with her husband for an adoption of 2 beautiful little girls and the official date is this month! How excited to rejoice with them I this time!
And last but NOT least...
Building the kingdom of GOD! For what other purpose are we actually here for...

So as I sit back and reflect...I guess I have to say that we should never be done with a season of building. Because we should always be growing and building something! Some of these things are ones we write in permanent marker on our indefinite TO DO list.. Such as building the kingdom of God! The rest are ones that will be marked off and eventually added back on.  I wrap this post up (I have a lot of painting to do today) by asking you to now evaluate what your season is... What are you building this season?!...
I can't help and wonder what God will have me build in this next season, but for now I will just enjoy what He has me building I this one.

My God bless you in every season of your life.

He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.  ^{Luke 6:48 (NKJV)}
