Welcome

Thanks for visiting Repurposed. This blog is about a house we are moving out of, an old house we are rehabing, a family that is walking in faith, a marriage that presses on, and the journey that God is taking us on. A repurposed life...turning the ashes into beauty.

"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philipians 3:12-14

Rebuilding

The rebuilding has begun.....

Sorry that It has been so long since my last update.  I have been extremely busy with the rebuilding of our new home.  This is a picture of what our entrance looks like right now.  The paint is chipped, the wood is cracked, it is not a pretty sight.   But if you look closely, you can see that despite its outward appearance, the foundation is beautiful.  This is how we feel  sometimes too.  Sometimes we feel like our lives are so ugly that there is nothing good about us.  Who could love us if we are such a mess?  God sees us for what we are...the beautiful creation that He made.  He doesn't see all of our faults, he sees our potential.  We see the all of our mistakes, he sees the forgiveness He has given us through His Son, Jesus.  We need not worry that our lives are not perfectly painted right now.  God is the great rebuilder.  He can transform our ugly lives into a reflection of His image.  Praying that you begin your own transformation. 

Blessings,

Marisa

P.S.: The following post  will be short on words, but heavy in pictures of the progress thus far.  You will be amazed at what a bucket of paint can do!!!

  1. This house is going to be amazing. For so many reasons my friend. I am so honored to tagging along with you as new chapter begins. Privileged to have been part of all of your lives, most especially Christopher's. Thinking of you this week, sending love and prayers and extra Zoey kisses and hugs with a few goo-goo, ga ga's thrown in there! Miss you.
