"My floor experience
and thoughts about my home in Heaven"
So since the beginning of October, I have been
trying to redo the bottom downstairs of my husband's
house. And he is on disability from knee surgery, so
he cannot physically do anything because he is on a tight watch
by his doctor. Anyways my son had a dream last
October that prior to the rapture, the floor would look really
nice. And out of no where my husband was sick of the
carpet and so I ripped it out and loaded it on the
truck. But then the carpet glue, the wall
paint, spray paint, carpet nails, and drywall was ALL OVER the
concrete and had to be scraped off. I had blisters
on my hands scraping. Then I had to rent a
stand up floor buffer with sand papers and since I used water
the floor looked like there was a flood of mud, it took like 6
hours to mop up. Then there was the acid that
had to be used, then this really bad smelling epoxy paint.
Well this project has been difficult to do and I usually am
inspired to do something that makes things
beautiful. But I have not really been gung ho on
this one and I don't know why. I guess it is because
I feel that it is just busy work before the rapture, to keep me
occupied so I continue to watch. I love to
make things look beautiful all the time. I like to
dress nice, keep in shape, always put on makeup and jewelry,
have a clean home....and if someone gives me something old I
always polish it, paint it and add fake bling to it.
I don't do these things because I am trying to compete with
anyone, I think my neighbors think I do.....I just keep hearing
these words out of nowhere "behold I make all things
new." For some reason I feel compelled to make
things nice. I am saddened however on this earth
that by me making things nice it is always misconstrued by
unbelievers and they lust after the things that I have, or me
personally. I always have people walk up to me
and say such nice things to me, and as soon as I say anything
about Jesus, they turn ugly and run. Won't it
be nice when we are in Heaven and beauty of people and things is
not misconstrued with greed and lust? I think maybe
my whole excitement on this project has been somewhat muted
because of this.
Anyways the weird thing about this project is that we had this
silly idea to put lots of silver glitter on top of this black
epoxy paint before the urethane clear coat was put
on. The glitter sparkles like diamonds and it
looks SO COOL, my husband says it looks like the night
sky. But I was standing there and I realized that a
picture formed and my husband and I looked at the picture and it
looked like an angel. I mean it looks like an angel
so much my unsaved husband could see it. And he was
so excited about it that he was so energized. I mean
his whole demeanor was different and he was smiling.
Usually my husband is very cocky, and cracks wise jokes all the
time. When he is trying to be nice to you, it is in a
hateful joking kind of way. But not last
night. This angel as I was really looking at
it has a bow and an arrow and I was shocked because I said, it
is Sagittarius!
Sagitarrius is Jesus riding on His white horse!

I think though this was an awesome sign to me of the little
prophecy of the floor being done....and that Jesus is
coming. However I am still working on the floor and
I think I am going to add some gold and green glitter into the
mix with another coat of urethane. Seems like no one
makes metallic epoxy paint for garage floors that is a one part
paint system, they want you to mix the metallic into the paint
in a two part system and then you have only 30 minutes to paint
the whole floor....and I don't want to do that because I am not
that fast. Anyways, it is kind of frustrating so I
have to do my own thing. And I think the
glitter is fun for Christmas, if my husband sells the house,
then at least the new owners can go buy carpet or put down wood
floors.
But seriously the floor looks like it has diamonds in
it. If man can think of all these neat things to do
to their homes, consider what the Lord can do for your home in
Heaven! How I was contemplating this as I
worked on the floor and put my best foot forward. In
my fallen state, in my physical state that maybe uses only 10%
of my brain capacity I can make something look pretty
nice. But consider the loved ones in Heaven who love
you from your family who all came together using all their love,
their total capacity, and all the wonderful things of Heaven to
build your home? WOW! How
the earth lusts after what people have and when they steal it,
or take it they have no love....it turns to ruins because they
do not care for it. But in Heaven, the love that is
there is so overwhelming, so eternal that everything is pristine
all the time. The love going into the homes in
Heaven is what I have been contemplating on.
Having beautiful things and being beautiful without love does
not seem to hold much weight with me anymore. I want
to go in the rapture and trade these dime store pearls for real
ones.
