“The wise woman builds her house,” we are told in Proverbs. Yet, I have seen many women in the very midst of the messy, challenging work of building their house into a legacy of faith, righteousness, morality, kingdom messages, give up right in the middle of building because of weariness or discouragement.
As I spent the last 10 days with most of my children, talking, talking, talking and as I now spend time still investing in my relationship with them daily, I am realizing that the building has been years longer than I knew to expect. It has also cost me most of my whole life—and yet, the building of this legacy is deeply satisfying as it seems like a work that really matters for eternity.
“The House of Clarksons” was built one brick, one day at a time over many years.
Jesus reminded us about building, “For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?” Luke 14:28
How important it is that we understand that the building of a legacy of faith (the house we are building) is over long years, requires much work and yet is the greatest work of our lives.
As Nathan and I share about what shapes one’s understanding of what it means to be royalty, God’s holy subjects, as stewards of all that is his, I am reminded that the faith he now holds dear was built over countless thousands of days, with stories told, love given, conversations had, training give over and over again.
Do not be discouraged in your vastly important work of “house building” but keep going, every brick is building towards a heritage that you were made to build and that you were also made to enjoy the fruits of.
Join Nathan and me today as we speak of the countless stories that were read and told to shape the ultimate destiny of His life.
