Self Portrait #3

I personify everything! If there's only one egg left in the carton, I tell it not to worry, I'll use it soon. I talk to my flowers and tell them how pretty they are, or that I'm sorry I forgot to water you! Don't die please!! If there are rows of something that I need at the grocery store, I don't grab the first and obvious one - I grab one that wasn't expecting to go next, just to throw off the store shelf dynamics. I see faces in everything too. You get the idea.

Neurotic? Maybe.

I've been doing some re-decorating and re-purposing of some furniture pieces, which is why I haven't been posting much...well, anything...other than these self-portraits. I can't get anything finished! Working on it...

I came across a Bible verse a while ago and it made me think of my house and all of the stuff that's in it. It made me laugh! Currently, the dresser in my bedroom is crying this out to me:

Psalm 71:9
Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.

I'm trying not to, dear dresser! I am going to sand you down, clean you up your rough spots, fix your broken drawers, brush on a nice new coat of paint, polish you up real nice, and make you like a brand new piece! You're going to be better than you ever thought you could be!

Do you think God ever tells us that? "Stop worrying, Jessie. I would never cast you away! You might feel broken, I'll fix that. You've got some rough edges? I'll fix those too. Just wait! I'm going to shower you with my love, polish you up real nice, and make you like a brand new piece! You're going to be better than you ever thought you could be! Just, let me take care of you. I love YOU!"

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
