The curtains I sewed with material I bought at the local market.
And the flowers I found cut and dried, trimmed from a bush that needed pruning and left on the side of the road.
All I did was tie them together with string and hang them up above the door between the two rooms.
And my furniture, that's from the secondary school just down the road from me. My table is not quite so empty now, in fact it's almost completely full as I'm still waiting for a cupboard to store my dishes and food.
And finally, I store my shoes by the door accompanied by this verse:
If you can't quite read it in the photo it's Colossians 2:6, "Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him."
What a good reminder it is that every day we are to be living in Christ, marveling in His saving and indwelling life. Well, I guess that's about all for now. Hope you enjoyed getting a little glimpse at my house, I'm sure thankful to be moved in. Mostly though I'm thankful that wherever I am, I can trust in the Lord and that my true home and life is found in Him.
Walk in Him.
Hi Anna, I just talked to your mom this morning at South Hill and got an update on how you are doing. I'm so proud of you, and would love to hear some more of the details of your adventure! I love your pictures, and your little apartment is simple and sweet. Have fun making it home! Praying for you. ~Amy
ReplyDeleteps I didn't have an id of my own, which is why Anders' id came up when I sent my message! :)
ReplyDeleteAnna, your apartment is very cute. I love the flowers above the door! I'm sure I never would have thought to do something that cute. That verse is awesome as well. I think I'll think of it everytime I put my shoes on now :)
