Transformation

"Friends, Romans and Countrymen, Lend me your Ears!" The Bathroom remodel project will be officially over in the morning when Jeff reviews receipts with Chris, our contractor, and writes the last check. It's been 6 weeks and it has been quite a transformation. We have been thoroughly pleased with the workers, the work, and the final result. We would definitely recommend our contractor if you are pondering any remodeling work. He communicated well, stayed on task and stayed true to the contract.

I pondered the time I went up there and we saw it completely "gutted". One might say, "What a mess!!!" I had a picture of the end result in my head and knew the mess was temporary. I thought of how before we came to Christ, our lives were quite a mess! But God knew when he looked at us that a transformation needed to happen. If we'd hang on, the end result would be worth it. So as we watched this project unfold and come to completion, it makes us thankful that God is still working in us and in YOU and is gutting us of things that don't matter and building us up into people who look more like and love more like Him. He knows what the end result should be. So for those who followed this process, thank you for your interest and asking us about the project. You are welcome any time to slide around on the floors, pick your mirror to check your lipstick, and feel free to flush! Scroll down to 6 weeks ago and check out the "Before" photo album...WOW, what a transformation!

Thanks especially to my friend, Nan, who went with me to pick out things, stopped in to check out the process about halfway through and came by tonight to marvel with me over the results! She brought us an "Oops I forgot Something" basket to put in our guest bathroom. SOOO thoughtful! Thank you, Nan!

Jeff's parents will be here tomorrow night to spend time with us. They will get the maiden voyage in the new quarters. (Good thing that shower door went up today!! :))
