Painting Doves Room


 For the living!
An act of worship.
This little man will soon have his own room back.
I worked all day on Doves paint job.
I found a sweet pink vanity for her and a little stool.
That mirror is an antique very heavy found it for $16. good deal!
 
 The blue shelf will go under the green square for her necklaces.
The shelf to hold treasures.
 
 It has a little drawer and was already painted this collar.
It is the accent she wanted this vivid pink
 
 The little stool was also a $16  find too.
I went to good will, then a savers thrift...on the way home an antique mall caught my eye.
I ran up and down the store looking in every booth.
Found all I needed.
A bit of a pop for the vanity but $50 is not too bad for it really.
It had a good 2 yards of pink fabric tacked around it and extra of it in the drawer.
Off it came with lots of rick rack too.
 
 It sits privately here in the corner so brother can not bother her.
 
 

 
There are plum d
sheers for the window off a clearance.
One long so I need to trim it first and get Steve to put up a curtain rod for me
 
 
 Just by her closet so she can just grab and look if she wants to ware it.
This is for a full length mirror. I'll pick up a cheep one at a wal-mart or target?
 
The door is still to put on.
This week end we will move her bed back in here.
I will make up her bed with her new clean linens from Christmas.
It is my hope to even get her to lay on the bed to read at first but one day for her to sleep on her own again.
I have a garage of her things too.

It felt great to complete the paint job.
12 hours one day and 10 hours today.

BEAUTIFUL!! I painted for 10 hours today too, so I understand. I have another full day today and I am so sore!

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
