Projects

We are in the process (or I really should say Everett) in doing the winter projects in the house now that he can't spend all his time outside. He took all the wall paper off the last room in our house that had wallpaper on. At one time the whole house was wallpapered..Now it is all gone..it seems so clean and fresh with it out of here. We have lived in this house longer than you would imagine. I have done and redone every room a few times. It's hard to keep the house up to date so to speak.
Is it really necessary?? Unless you want to sell then it's more important to keep it up to date...I like change in my house it gives me a sense sometimes of a new space...Some people don't change anything at all..and that's OK. My mom was that way and so was Everett's a few years before his mom died we redid her house and she wound up taking some stuff back and keeping some but don't really think she really liked everything the way we did it...

Kinda reminds me or our life...change, keeping things the same, to hang on to because of sentimental reasons I have been going through things little by little, don't like to do that..and have ran across things that I will never use again but have a hard time parting with it...Are we like that with things in our hearts..old sins we might have had that we keep going back to, old habits that aren't necessarily good, bad and negative thoughts that shouldn't be in our lives that pulls us down or hinders our walk with God. Stuff that is there that is so hard to get rid of...trying to find peace which we may think lies in things of this world...position, money, possessions...Stuff that really shouldn't be the focus of our lives if we are in Christ..and confess Him as Lord..but somehow we want to stuff it back just in case...worry, envy, whatever..it may be we need to give it up...Let it go and clean out..Life is so much better without all the clutter...So peaceful without all the stuff that gets in the way...
