The Project

Here it is February already. What happened to January? I know that with the help of a friend, a project I started several months ago finally got completed. The project . . . I got my kitchen and entry way painted. It seemed like a fairly easy project when I started. Simply strip off the wallpaper and paint. Right? Wrong. There was wallpaper under the wallpaper in the kitchen and in the entry way the walls had never been textured. Also since the paint on the cupboards was oil base, everything needed to be painted with primer first before we could apply water based paint. I don't think I would of ever gotten finished if it hadn't been for the help of my friend Carol along with T.Jay (my son-in-law). I am also thankful that both of them knew what they were doing and that I just had to follow instructions. It reminds me of my Chritian walk. Sometimes I think the task is easy and that I can handle it and then I realize that I am in over my head and don't even know what to do next. That is when I am thankful that God knows what and how to do whatever needs to be done and that He provides friends to come along side me and help me and encourage me along the way.
Have a great day and be sure to let your friends know how much you appreciate them.
