Hooray for a nice bathroom floor!

I am so thankful to my roomies for putting up with the mini remodel that has put their bathroom in disarray for way too long. Chris Longsine offered to finish off the tile for me and was I ever thrilled with the offer. He did an incredible job with the intricate design I had worked out, having to make adjustments for the amount of tile I had. When it was all said and done it turned out beautifully! Hooray! Here's pics, the top is more accurate on the colors:

Sweet Surrender

Found this on a sales ticket that I used to fill out while working at ABC... so at least 6 years ago. Still rings true in my life though. Maybe it will bless you today too.

Why do I fight His embrace?
Why do I run from His grace?
Do I really think I can hide from His love?

He wants to give me security
I run toward independence...
and wonder why I'm so scared

He wants to give me His pure love
I chose the desires of my flesh...
then ask why I feel so alone

He wants to be my strength
I strive to do it on my own...
then wonder why my plans fail

He reaches out in love
but again and again I run
I run from His grace
I run from His will
But ahhh...sweet surrender
Sweet surrender
