Hence our master bedroom looks like this:
And our kitchen looks like this:
... A lot for a self proclaimed type A, everything-has-its-place-perfectionist to handle.
But then I realized, I don't have to have it all-together at all times...God loves me at my weakest, just as I am, just as He created me to be.
And that my friends, is beautiful, and that makes life worth living.
The following Point of Grace song 'How You Live' lyrics came to mind when I was having the above thoughts. I challenge you to listen to lyrics and make this your prayer as well.
Wake up to the sunlight with your windows open
Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress, use your good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes
And have what you want
but want what you have
And don't spend your life looking back
Turn up the music, turn it up loud
Take a few chances, let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what ya did, it's how you live.
So, go to the ballgames and go to the ballet
Go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children, dance with your wife
Tell you husband you love him every night
Don't run from the truth
'Cause you can't get away, oh no
Just face it and you'll be okay
Turn up the music, turn it up loud
Take a few chances and let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Looking back from where you have been
'Cause it not who you knew
And it's not what you did it's how you live
Oh wherever you are and wherever you and wherever you've been
Now is the time to begin
So, give to the needy and pray for the grieving
Even when you don't think that you can
'Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
So, think of your fellow man
And make peace with God
And make peace with yourself oh yeah
'Cause in the end there's nobody else
Turn up the music, turn it up loud
Take a few chances, let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did, it's how you live
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did, it's how you live
Life is beautiful,
dress accordingly.
