Have you ever done an addition or a remodel in your own home? As we celebrate 25 years in the Magic Valley this month, we are looking back at some great pictures to see where God brought us from. From a little living room, to 5 years at the YMCA, to our current location, we have experienced building projects all along the way. We have built for excellence. This fall our current building will be 20 years old, and praise the Lord, it isn’t crumbling or in need of repair. All of the additions have been done with excellence, and on a firm foundation. It is very similar to how we are to build our lives. As believers we represent Christ on the earth. Excellence starts in the heart and works its way outward. During the process of building a new building, an addition or doing a remodel, things can get messy. Grass has been torn up, so that means there is dirt everywhere. In other words, during the construction phase, we have to remember that excellence is a process. It’s a time where you keep things looking as good as possible, and ask for grace in the areas that we have no control. Quality building takes time. Quality and excellence go hand in hand. If we want to have excellence in building, we use quality materials. We want to make sure the foundation and structure are firm and strong and constructed with the best quality materials available. As we continue the construction process in our own lives, let’s strive for excellence. Let’s be the best representatives for Christ that we can be. That alone could be some awesome encouragement for someone around you. At the same time, let’s thank God for the beautiful building and acreages we own to the glory of God.
