Up against a wall? Cheers!
This New Year’s Eve I share inspiration—my invention that helps me center and get out of a tight, potentially harmful space. I used
egg cartons to protect my car doors from damage that would occur if I accidentally opened the doors too far and bang into the
cement or concrete block garage wall.

Press the carton, adhering it to cinder or concrete block garage wall. The carton is the same color as the concrete blocks, so it is hardly noticeable! Make sure to apply enough cartons to cover the distance variance of
parked car pulled into its spot as well as coverage for both front and
back doors. |

Trusting my Savior for protection and thankful for forgiveness…
- I
am willing and open to expand my insight and knowledge; yet, I must be satisfied that I
can’t and don’t need to know and fully understand everything (Ecclesiastes 11:5). And I can’t expect any other human to know and fully understand me either—only my Creator knows me even better than I know myself (Romans 8:27-37).
- It has been much harder than I ever thought it would be to keep a promise. I sin often and in many ways (James 3:2). I am sorry (1 John 1:9). I am forgiven in Christ (Psalm 103).
- I turn for help (Psalm 121), pray to, seek, and praise my Protector (Psalm 5:11-12) who loves everyone perfectly (John 3:16-17)!
…and many mercies
- the gift of life and health (before diagnosis, through/after cancer surgery)
- friends and family
- caring church home
- a safe, peaceful home to rest
- an efficient, quiet place to work
- good suppliers
- technology
- Etsy and Amazon Handmade shops from which I sell
- buyers who support my creative business
To learn, grow, share my faith—these goals I hope to explore in the next decade, God-willing!
I pray I may live to the glory of God by the grace given to me in faith.
Have a happy new decade 2020!
