A house is not a home...

It's been quiet on this neck of the woods! Well, not really... it's actually been quite busy. Between drama practices, baseball practices, performances, & games, my life has been on a rigid schedule. Summer's here, and Isaiah played his last game tonight. I don't know what to do with mysef tomorrow! No voice lessons, no horseback riding lessons, no games, no practices, no performances.... WOW. It's really summer!

With all that said, something bugging me in my spirit. I just had my parents over for dinner, and they were talking about church... about how nice our building's going to be, but one of them said something about it being nice but there's no relationships happening. Another WOW.

Now, don't get me wrong. There's always 2 sides to a story, but for someone to say that, it means that they are yearning for connection. It obviously bugs them, but maybe they don't know how to connect with others. Maybe other people may have been trying to connect with them but they've been unresponsive. Whatever the case may be, it should not be a comment that will get "shoved under the rug".

For most people, building relationships come naturally. To others, it takes a conscious effort. What do you do to build relationships with others? I am the type of person that builds relationships around work. If we have a common purpose, we'll have a reason to get together. Then, relationship will start building, and before you know it, we're best friends.

I'm blessed to have great friends, but nothing comes close to Jesus Christ. Through it all, work or no work, productive or not, success or failure, He's my only TRUE friend. Then my husband and kids. I choose to build my house on Him so that it can become a home.
