<<<<< I saw this link on Pinterest the other day that has me thinking about repurposing. I think this may be one way that 'weird' Louisville is rubbing off on me, and I kinda like the idea of reusing rather than buying new to fill up spaces with more stuff.
And as I enter my last 'twenties' birthday week (eeks!), tonight I'm also starting to think about repurposing things in my life. You know, giving them new purpose. Or taking bad habits and renewing them. A la Romans 12:1.
A friend who has gone through so much this year, quoted something from
One Year Book of Hope on her blog
that she found helpful... and though I cannot
even fathom how painful
it might be to lose a child...
I thought that with just one word tweak,
this quote was repurposable for my situation as well.
"Your singleness has given you an incredible gift. It has given you the gift of being forced to reconsider the very purpose of your life. Those who are sailing through a comfortable life at this point have not yet been forced to carefully consider their lives and surrender their dreams. But because you have been shaken to the core, you see clearly that if you cling to your own plans and desires, you will never discover the freedom and joy found in losing your life for Jesus. "
