renovations....continued

Well the house is changing and it is sooooo exiting. Being the visionary that I am....you cannot know the ideas that are pumping in my brain. I've redesigned that kitchen a million times in my mind. I love designing, creating, trying new colors, and looking up ideas on line...and I think I'm pretty good at it. Not like some freinds I have that have no clue...too wierd. sooo anywaz...here it is some of the progress

As you can see from left to right the old....to the new....

we also opened up the stair way and I'll post that on my next blog..

going up to Bay City to get some trim from a guy for a dollar piece...great deal!!! can't wait!

between that and Home Depot...I don't know which I like more..lol..

Day 11 of this vegetable fast and I think the revelations are as powerful as the aromas.

Fastiing is like standing in front of those wacky carnival mirrors...you know, those kind that severely distort you. exagerating your faults hilariously....well, thats fasting. It exagerates all those faulty characteristics and says ok...lets get busy....and God begins to cut away at you.

You'ld think after serving Him all these years I'd have it down ...HA!.well I do on the outside...but the inside..FORGET IT! I'm just muck. Not sand or a dirt..just sticky muck. .its that mixture of good water, good dirt, and a little vegetation. ( Alone they are wonderful...but the wrong combination....is just muck)

I've realized that in my insecurity and fear of leadership positions I've become critical of my leaders. Simply put, God has given me leadership gifts and until I step up to the plate and start exercizing those gifts Im going to become bitter at those who have....so I'm committed to going and entering whatever door God opens and praying for those who have.

thanks Lord for this revelation.
Heart surgery is tough.

Ok..it's a new year ...and Caleb is 2 1/2....and we are renovating our kitchen..(my Christmas present..yes!) between potty training and a lot of dust my year is starting out in the vision state..the end is in sight...for both the PT and the Kitchen!! can I get a Hallelujah.

I love January because I get to think about spring and gardening...I am ordering my seeds to begin inside...I plan to have a huge vegetable garden..herbs..and grow my own annuals..I also am excited about getting more stockplants for my nursery....and getting ready for a BIG plant sale in May!!!..WOW....the thought of spring flowers...and tulips and gardening ..brings a smile to my face...especially after fighting thru the blizzard outside to get home ....

anywaz...the snow is pretty for now and planning on sledding tomorrow...
sledding on fresh snow is wonderful...

well all for now...
ta ta...for now....
