Day 1/25 - Erecting Skyscrapers

Building Skyscrapers on sand

No YouTuber apologies, just know I’m back!

Over the next 25 days, i’m going to attempt to share some of the thoughts i’ve had in my time away. (Don’t expect literary brilliance, currently writing this during a training session on my intern- don’t tell them.)

Erecting Skyscrapers

I describe myself as a builder- the line I use is “building life giving initiatives that change the trajectory of people’s lives.” However, the plight of a builder is one that i’ve been increasingly assessing. In our bid to construct grandeur buildings to substantiate our titles, we’ve often focused on beautifying the products of our hands rather than our hands themselves. Often the pressure of building inclines one to negate the foundations, not realising its essentiality in allowing them to bare the weight of what’s being carried. This is all an elaborate way of saying: high buildings require deep foundations. 

Far be it from me that I become one that's defined by building skyscrapers on unloved, uncared for, weak, immature foundations. We’ve seen many “great” things crumble, be it through corrupt foundations or misdirected focuses. I hope that when they see the man beneath the beautiful, they see someone thats defined by integrity, love, care and a heart postured in being most satisfied when he’s most glorified.

This next stage of life is big, but only as big as the foundations would permit.
