To put or not to put...

That is the question...lately anyway.
Windows windows windows. We are trying to figure out if we should take 6 feet of the spare bedroom, making it 9x12, so we could have a walk in closet in our bedroom.
And every woman says, "YES! OF COURSE YOU SHOULD!" lol
That's my thought on it but this means we take a window from that room and it will be in our closet. We must have a window in a bedroom to obey fire code. We have a slope on that side because of the roof so we would put a window within a 5 foot high wall. It will look funny from the inside but will not matter from the outside. Advantage... if there is a fire, it will be easy to find since you have to stop, drop and roll, just not out the window. :/
Well, I thought that little funny was funny so I read it to my husband. hee hee He told me that we are putting a gable there so we will have a normal looking window wall. So, hurray! We are going to have a walk in closet!
You know, I wonder if that's how God is with us. He would like to use us in a certain way, maybe use us for a window to show His light to someone who is lost and/or discouraged with life but our standards and attitudes are only 5 feet tall so how He's trying to draw others is really looking funny, out of joint. Proverbs 25:19, "Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint."
An unused vessel because of no light. Matthiew 5:14 "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."
It's amazing what God can sometimes teach us through the complications of life.
I have posted a link where you can check out the renovations as they come along. There will be before and afters but you'll have to settle for our befores until we have made them afters. (I'm feeling guitty tonight. Might be from the cold in the basement.)
Keep being available and malleable.
