Today, I read the story of Jonah. It was great to get into the word and read a familiar story, but I just didn’t feel like God was giving me anything in particular that I learned today. I know, it is selfish of me to want God to teach me something new EVERY day, but I think if we look hard enough, God is everywhere. So I read the story of Jonah and paused to reflect on it. Really, my pausing was taping my kitchen to paint it and starting on the trim. So I was still marinating on what God wanted to teach me as I went to get my kids. Then I got home and started painting. For about a year, I have wanted to paint one wall in my kitchen red. I love red. It is such a fantastic color. It is bold, and vibrant and just makes me happy. So I began, painting trim, rolling, trim, rolling, trim, rolling… and the cycle continued. It seemed like it was nearly impossible to get everything covered perfectly...
