Before:
After:
There is a comfortable vibe to this old house. It has no expectations for us except to just live here and be. The big house that we had in another town was showy and impersonal. The crown molding was beautiful and the rooms spacious but it was never home. We were trying too hard to hang out with the popular kids.
This house is like an old woman who forgot to wear her night cream. She needs us to help make her beautiful again or at least presentable in public. I think we are up for the task. To peel away the ugly and see what lies beneath. And as we tear down the wallpaper and carpet and counter tops, it’s like we are tearing down our own expectations of what status and success and perfect looks like. We are rebuilding not only this worn out house but also who we are, our values and dreams for the future.
God has brought us to this little town and this little house to show us how to live.
