This is going to be a short post (yes, you're welcome!)  It's just a quick thought that came to me as I was showering, and it's really too cool to not share.

As the majority of you (I hope all of you!) know, I'm currently a missionary in Michoacán.  I've learned some pretty cool tricks in order to save money (luck you, you'll get to learn this trick as well!)

Houses need paint. Paint is expensive. This presents a conundrum to the savvy missionary. However, a cheap work-around to get high-quality, but still cheap, paint is to go to Home Depot, or some place where they mix paint, and buy the reject paint. 

Reject paint: The paint that's not bought when some picky house owner doesn't like the shade of salmon his paint is. (Also, salmon is really just orangey-pink, stop calling it salmon!)

Anyways, well 5 gallons of paint were bought (Dark grey, black, orangey-pink, pinkish orangey-pink, and mustard yellow.)

Obviously they wouldn't look well on their own, so we decided to mix them all, and use whatever color came out. (Yeah, I was worried too. I made sure to test a tiny bit of each color first to see how it'd turn out.)

It was incredible! It turned into the perfect shade of grey that looked GREAT with the other colors of the house (dark red and beige.)

You could say "how lucky!" but I'm sure God had something to do with it.  So often we think that God only cares about the big stuff, that He's only looking at your salvation, and not your bank account (or living room, in this case.) God sees, and cares, about every aspect of your life! He even reads all of your blogs!

Trust God today. Trust that He's with you, that He loves you, and that He's watching over you, even when it's something seemingly inconsequential, like interior decorating.
