What are we building?

I was thinking earlier, and meditating on some things. We listen for Gods voice. We listen for him to show us which way to turn. We follow signs. We can go and be. We can sit and listen. We can take in. But, ultimately, what are we really building? What are we actually doing? Are we just taking notes and then more notes to add to our files? Are we following signs just to be following them? Where do they lead you? For what purpose are they for? Is there a destination that is trying to be reached or are we just circling around the roundabout of ideology. What are we physically building? Are we leaving a tangible encounter for others or just ourself?
