Music Monday: "Second Chance" by Shinedown

"I'm not angry. I'm just saying, sometimes goodbye is a second chance."

I don't know about ya'll, but that line of the song really strikes me. Have you ever had someone shut a door on you? I'm not meaning literally shut a door, but whether by actions or by words let you know that your friendship can't move forward or even needs to end. I don't know about you, but sometimes that's a hard thing for me to accept. I have to remind myself that just because someone may have shut the door on me, doesn't me have I to lock them out. This isn't true for every case, but it probably is for most. I can't control their actions, but I can control my reaction. Just something I've been thinking about lately...

Have ya'll ever experienced something like this that ya'll would like to add to my random thoughts?

"You will keep in perfect peace
 those whose minds are steadfast,
 because they trust in You."
Isaiah 26:3

Thank you dear friend for sharing this verse with me! I hope all ya'll are having a blessed Lord's day!

Room Redo: Desk Inspiration

I was browsing Craftgawker last night and came across this lovely desk!

This is what it looked like before the makeover:

So I thought..."Hmm, those ugly brown desk are at every thrift store out there. I could do that!" So this is on my to do list! Lord willing this will get done in the next few months :-)

Have ya'll ever made something beautiful that was ugly in it's past life?
