What goes up must come down.

Everything in life is a cycle. And if you've been a Christ-follower for long enough, you know that this too has a cycle.
God builds up and he breaks down. He builds and breaks. Builds and breaks. It is a cycle. You never know how long the building is going to take, or how long the breaking is going to take... All you know is what is coming next. There is a purpose for each of those seasons, and it is important for us to learn from what God is doing during each.

The scary part is when you know you are in a season of building. Breaking is next. Noone likes that part. But it is imperative.

Right now I am in a building season... God has set me up with some awesome new friends whose relationships with me are founded on Him. My job is definitely a blessing. My role in the church is a complete blessing. Blessing after blessing. Building stronger and stronger. More blessings, more strength.
But soon comes brokenness.

I know this. But the thing is, we have to learn to focus on the present. Otherwise we might miss the lesson.

And missing God's lesson sounds worse to me than being broken by God's lesson.
