Matthew 7:24-2724 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
As I drove back home today from the lake, I had about 5 hours alone in the car to pray, praise, lament, cry, sing, lean in, listen, and simply sit in the presence of God.
Since my return from India, nearly every major aspect of my life has been affected and I have really been struggling to identify the good.
The place I’ve called home for nearly a decade will soon no longer be my home.
My business has encountered sudden personnel changes that greatly affects it’s capabilities and the way it operates from day to day.
Recently, I had a conversation with someone I think a whole lot of, and parts of that conversation are carrying heavy conviction and concern.
I am juggling a lot of confusion over some of these but it’s clear to see that a season of transition is here.
To hopefully keep what was meant to be an 11 day journey into the promised land from being 40 years wandering in the wilderness, I’ve been attempting to give Jesus each emotion as it’s identified. (Spoiler alert: I’ll admit that I sometimes struggle with leaving the things I bring to the feet of Jesus, at His feet 
)
)But today as I was driving home, I saw a vision of a house being destroyed and swept away by a storm.
The house wasn’t destroyed in pieces.
It went down all together and all at once.
This visual reminded me of the story in the Bible of the house built on the sand.
I felt like God was telling me that my last house (my old life) wasn’t built on a solid foundation and that it’s now time to rebuild.
This time with Him in His rightful place.
