Usually about now I'm all about looking back over the past year...
and writing down goals for the new year ahead.
But this year is different... at least for now.
Because of the house remodel I'm all about living in the moment...
tending to the priorities... and today's priorities seems to be white!
I closed 2010 with a paintbrush loaded with white... lots and lots of white.
I started with the trim in the living room...
and then this already built-in shelf unit which has already taken two coats...
with at least one more left to go!
This is what it looked like before... I like the white better, don't you?
Today I spent second... and third- coating everything in the living room...
while Michael put up the beadboard and trim in the breakfast nook...
and family room... isn't it looking gorgeous?
Tomorrow... and until it's finished... I'll be painting it all white.
But I LOVE white... so I'm glad to paint it. Clean. Light. Bright. Pure WHITE.
What a great way to start the New Year too... thinking about the color white.
It makes me want to think of the holiness and purity of God.
It makes me delight in the fact, that in His eyes, we are white as snow.
And it makes me think of new beginnings...
like a clean white canvas ready to be painted on.
And I'm thinking that this year... in 2011...
the paint on my canvas is going to be quite fun and colorful...
as I allow God to have His way in me and through me.
How about you? Are you looking forward to a colorful year ahead?
I hope so.
God's blessings for 2011 my friends...
Hugs... Karla
