The Story Behind the Blog

Welcome to my blog! I used to say I would never ever blog about my life, but sometimes I find it so amusing and educational that I thought perhaps others would find some entertainment in my stories, and learn something with me along the way. The title came to me recently because my husband and I have been doing quite a bit of remodeling on our home. As I thought about how much work we go through, and the blood, sweat, and tears that we shed through the ups and downs of each project; I realized how much like life remodeling is. You see, none of us are ever happy with our life exactly how it is. If we are truly honest with ourselves, we are always trying to make ourselves better, whether it be through self-examination, trying to be a more devoted Christian, finally trying to read our Bible through, controlling our temper, not being critical, being more patient, or even things like finding a new outfit or getting a new hairstyle. Our lives are in a constant state of being remodeled. The sad thing that I have come to realize about myself is that I am usually remodeling it to how I want it to be and not after the one who matters most, Jesus Christ. Romans 12:2 says, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." Now the goal of this blog is not to be preachy, or even to be serious all of the time. It is in fact, to share my enlightening and sometimes humorous journey as I seek to transform, or remodel, my life according to how I believe God wants me to be. I am nowhere near where I should be as a person, wife, Christian, friend, sister, daughter, or in any other relationship I might have. I want to always be striving to make my life be better for those around me and to be pleasing to God, just as my husband and I are always working to remodel our house to be what we want it to be. I hope that my thoughts might be encouraging to those who read, and perhaps make you smile on a day when you need it! Enjoy, and God bless!
