I painted the island red. Or, at least one of my favorite apple-y shades of red.
It's safe to say that I'm now a fan of computer color matching. The Lowes lady convinced me.
But, see that bright Boysenberry purple? That's what it looked like in the paint can. I was cryin' scared! I'm not lying. I told myself NOT to cry. I willed myself NOT to cry. I gulped and then I just painted, thinking, "How can I have faith when I don't even know the Lowes lady? Is she trustworthy? Will she get me through this??? Was she just trying to sell me something?" There's a faith lesson here. The reason faith gets you through is because you know the God in which you trust. He's proven Himself trustworthy to me time and again. Hence, I can believe. I can step out in faith. His trustworthiness produces peace when I venture past into the unknown.
Check out the stool on the far right (above photo). That's the apple she used to match the color. Now I know the Lowe's lady is trustworthy.
And yes, Daddy approved of the island-painting project because:
A: He knows I like color.
B: It only cost $16.00.
C: I did a good job.
D: No one was hurt.
E: I cleaned up after myself AND put all the tools and brushes back where I found them. (My parents made SURE I knew how to properly clean out paint brushes. #reallifeskills)
