As Always

As always, I have been reminded that I am not perfect. I tried my hand at home decorating again today. The results were not so bad. I placed some vinyl wall art on my wall today. A friend suggested I put it on a board and hang it so that when I paint my walls, I can just rehang it. But it was kind of big and I was kind of impatient, so I just put it on the wall and will remove it when I paint. I am thinking perhaps I should've listened to her! It turned out a little slanted. Not bad. And most people wouldn't notice. But I did! So, I rearranged the candle holders next to it with Jeff and Jacob's help, and now it is not so bad.  

I am so thankful that I do not have to be perfect.  I am so thankful that my imperfections are covered by the One who saved me from what I really deserve!  Thank you God for always reminding me how much I need and want you in my life! 

By the way...there are quite a few nail holes in my wall that I now need to fill from rearranging the candle holders.  Once again...that is why I love working on the computer so much.  I can drag, drop, reposition, resize, and undo and there are never any holes in my computer screen!

Wanted: A Hard Worker

I went to visit and help my friend last week and I learned something about myself.  I can work a whole lot harder at home! And I know how to decide what I really need to do!  You see, I thought these two things were just a little impossible for me (add grin here).  Or maybe I thought if no one knew what a hard worker I was, no one would expect it from me!  Ha.  As you can tell I am being facetious. But I am also being truthful  There are so many things to do here, and sometimes I am just plain lazy!  I guess I am not sure what it would look like if I didn't have just a tiny bit of a lazy bone.  Sounds like a great experiment for today...just for today (add another grin here).  So, with that in mind, I am off to make my list and work heartily at it.  And where is that coffee?...oh, I guess I better put that on the list!

It's a New Day!

I am so glad that I get a new day...everyday!  The pressures and trials just seem to melt away.  Oh, sure, they are still lurking in the shadows and will come out to bite if I focus on them.  But I am going to choose to focus on the good, the clean, the pure, and the powerful! What a joy it is the have that choice!
