Flip It

I like watching shows about flipping.  It’s cool to see someone purchase a home that is in less than ideal shape and put some work in to make it much more desirable.  Or the one where they find an item in a flea market and turn it into a one-of-a-kind piece.  The flipped project is almost always worth much more after the flip than it was worth in the beginning.  I like to consider myself somewhat creative, but I’m always surprised by the transformations between the before and after.  The ‘reveal’ is great because the ‘after’ confirms the potential that was imagined when we first saw the ‘before.’

Wouldn’t it be great if we looked at life that way?  I imagine we would see lots of potential in our lives, if we committed to looking at it with possibilities in mind.  And if that wasn’t good enough, distressed or worn items are prized finds – offering more character than something shiny and new.  Well, isn’t that good news?

Whether you are interested in making big changes in your life or small changes or if you just want to change how you perceive your circumstances I know God would love to be your celebrity craftsman.  So, just ask!
