Repurposing....

When I was looking to add some storage space for all of my new, home made bath and body products, I set put looking for something to repurpose. For $8 at our local thrift store, some paint we had on hand, and some elbow grease, I came up with this.  The black inset is chalkboard paint.

As I finished the project, I started to think that even with paint and effort, it was still the same old cabinet underneath.  How often are we the same as that cabinet? Underneath, cheap, worn, cast aside.  We continue to put on a good front, though, with some decent clothes and a smile.

Unlike the cabinet, it takes more than a surface make-over to give us purpose.  It must come from within.  What change is happening in you, your mind, and your heart?
