Recently, something happened in the Seng Family's every day life that gave me some spiritual insight, and it really illustrates what Bluewater Women is focusing on at our gathering this Saturday morning. Here's how it went down: in 2005, our home came with brand new white carpeting, but there were some places where the floor would sink a little underfoot. We knew something was messed up under there but we didn't look -- we just adjusted where we stepped -- for 13 years!
Well, that carpet is now neither new nor white. After 2 kids, 4 dogs, 2 cats, aquariums, dinner parties and small groups meetings, it is past cleaning. Even our dog is taking the initiative to tear it out.
But here's the thing. If you want new, it's scary to take out the old, right? What if those soft spots under the carpet are really horrible? Maybe too costly to fix?
