Entrace

the wine rack in the kitchen

This door will be replaced with a wood/glass door to open up the entrance and the living room

The white on the floor is the beginning of prepping it for flooring...

The real front door

Still needs some trim around the windows and on the floor....and then...flooring!

The new light fixture...I LOVE it.

A little more trim and flooring and glass door to the living room and it's done! That room anyway!

Entry way. Little more trim flooring and blinds and I can move in some furniture.

Make friends with your problems

Amazing! The Holy Spirit strikes again! I love it!

From Jesus Calling, (Young)

Make friends with the problems in your life. Though many things feel random and wrong, remember that I am sovereign over everything. I can fit everything into a pattern for good, but only to the extent that you trust Me. Every problem can teach you something, transforming you little by little into the masterpiece I created you to be. The very same problem can become a stumbling block over which you fall, if you react with distrust and defiance. The choice is up to you, and you will have to choose many times each day whether to trust Me or defy me.

The best way to befriend your problems is to thank Me for them. This simple act opens your mind to the possibility of benefits flowing from your difficulties. You can even give persistent problems nicknames, helping you approach them with familiarity rather than with dread. The next step is to introduce them to Me, enabling Me to embrace them in My loving Presence. I will not necessarily remove your problems, but My wisdom is sufficient to bring good out of every one of them.

Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

1 Cor 1:23-24 So when we preach that Christ was crucified, the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it's all nonsense. But to those called by God to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ is the power of God and teh wisdom of God.

I long to be the woman God desires me to be. I want nothing more than to leave a legacy that points to God. To always exhibit the fruit of the spirit.

From feb 27 And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, is 11:2 Heavenly Father, Thank you do your son. Thank you for your Holy Spirit Father. Lord, I can not lead Valley Life on my own. Father even now prepare the hearts of those that will read the grant. Give me your words and wisdom. I can not go alone. Lord I lift up the board, and those that will come and ask Father that your hand uphold us so that many will come to know you! the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

John 4: The hired hand runs away because he's working only for the money and doesn't really care about the sheep. Lord, I do not want to be like the hired man. Give me a love for all of the children you bring to valley life. Thank you that you first loved us that we may love others.
