I am referring to you, dear blog friend, since it is still dark here on the prairie and I don't know what the weather forecast is for today.
We have been getting some much needed rain and we are so thankful that God is restoring some of the water we missed out on during last year's drought.
My brain is full today.
Remember our flooded basement?
We are knee deep in decisions for restoration. The demolition is about finished and reconstruction will probably begin next week after things dry out just a few more days.
Of course, I want a new and improved look down there, so I am thinking about some frivolous things.
Like sofas and sectionals.

| I like the look of this one from Broyhill, but it HAS to be comfy. Do you know if it is? |

| This is coral. |
But I am also thinking about some hard things.
Like idols.
Hmmmm. What do you think, girls?
Darn. I have some more soul-searching to do.
While I am busy doing that, do you have some advice about comfy sofas and color schemes?
And how you keep God first?
I just started Kelly Minter's study, NO Other Gods, and this definition from Richard Keyes is really making me squirm a little...
An idol is something within creation that is inflated to function as a substitute for God......Idolatry may not involve explicit denials of God's existence or character. It may well come in the form of an over-attachment to something that is, in itself, perfectly good...An idol can be a physical object, a property, a person, an activity, a role, an institution, a hope , an image, an idea, a pleasure, a hero-anything that can substitute for God.

I hope that the work goes smooth on your basement!!! I LOVE THAT FABRIC!!!! It is beautiful!!!!!! And I agree...thank goodness for the rain!!! We so needed it!!! Here is to a super week!
ReplyDeleteI love your choices!!! Esp. the red!
ReplyDeleteCouches don't have to be total squish for comfort, I don't think...for me some height is nice b/c I don't want my knees up in my chest (but it usually goes that way.
About the God thing...it does seem some guesswork is involved...I guess I'd say if there is something you do that you have question about, then ask Him to let you know.
I mean coral!!!
ReplyDeleteWho carries it?
Very lovely! I especially like the coral - so pretty! I hope al goes well :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughts today. It seems easy to allow things to take the place of God. I tend to put my husband first and God often reminds me that He, Jesus Christ, must have first place in my life and heart.
I hope you have a lovely day!
Hugs,
Stephanie
I think a sectional would be wonderful, I guess you just have to teat them out. I love your colors, too! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Yeah love the coral. Nice as. x
ReplyDeleteI ALDI can't wait to see how you decorate your "new" basement :)
ReplyDeleteAfter toilets and treats are out of the way, devotions are next. The first couple of hours, almost every day, are spent with God and that makes it a lot easier to keep Him first the rest of the day.
ReplyDeleteRe. furniture...our furniture is all decades old bought at thrift stores or auctions or handed down and recovered. My sister bought a leather sofa that has two recliners on either end plus a matching chair. Beautiful but wouldn't work for me and all the dogs and cats that live here.
Color schemes...the more the better!
