Touch ups

Today we are touching things up...
Cans of paint all over the floor of various shades....
Linen White
Bungalow Gold
Flax
Barrel Green
Coffee
Chocolate Mouse
and I don't KNOW what else..
we are touching up all the knicks
and oppsies on our walls
making them look soo beautiful...

Some projects seem like they will be SUCH the chore..
so you put them off
and you put them off
you dread them...
and then
it simply MUST be done
and putting off can be done no longer...
and
you do the project
and wonder WHY you were such a whiner...
touching up is NEVER the challenge painting the whole room is...
its easy breezy..
and looks so great once you've done it...
You feel great once it's done too...

Makes me wonder why we waited so long...
Let it look so junky
and looked at it that way
bringing us down,
weighing us down...
When had we just brought it all out into the open
and dealt with the issues...
It would have been glorious...

Sort of like our sins..
We don't want to go to our Father over the little ones...
We figure we didn't kill anyone...
We havn't committed adultery...
so those little white lies add up...
those hurtful words said in pain are ignored or denyed...
and they add up...
And look like my walls did...
It's good to go to God with all our junk,
all our sins, big and little
and let Him
spackle us up
and do a paint job...
making us look lovely again...
and feel like a million dollars..
more actually...
Think,
just think of the price He ACTUALLY paid...
wow...
