pardon my dust, excuse the mess, we're makin' something new out of all of this. -Chris Rice, from "Pardon My Dust"
pardon my dust, excuse my mess, and help me believe there's gonna be
something beautiful on the other side of this!
have patience with me i'm still sweepin' floors,
so pardon my dust and i'll pardon yours.

WHY RENOVATE?
The Bible advises us to build our lives on a solid foundation, not on sand. As I’ve grown more and more tired – to the point of perpetually feeling exhausted and showing symptoms of depression – I’ve had to ask myself “Why?” How did I get to this point? As I’ve asked the Lord to show me, He’s revealed to me that my foundations are on shifting sands. I have based my life such things as performance and perfection. I have been invisibly motivated by fear. The lies I’ve been building my life upon need to be replaced by His truth. And the only way to re-build properly is to remove the old faulty foundations so that the new can be fixed in place. This is God’s grace on my life and although it’s a messy and uncomfortable process, I am grateful that He cares so much that He would build my life well.

Thank you for inviting to be a part of your renovation process. Yes, I want to be the first to joint so that I can gain some experience on renovation. I don't mind the dusty mess and I want to give you a hand in case you need to move something too heavy by yourself. This does not mean I'm stronger than you but I think two is better than one.
Can't wait to see the New You!
