Several months ago, the toilet overflowed in my mom’s bathroom. It was a mess. Even more so as the whole master bathroom area was carpeted. The restoration company came and ripped out a big swath of the carpet, cleaned out the water, sanitized the space, cut a hole out of the ceiling below, and set their giant fans in for a couple days to dry everything. The whole experience added so much more stress to an already stressful situation. It has all stayed that way since then. We were going to remodel the bathroom to give real, usable space for my mom. However, she declined pretty rapidly after that and we never did anything. A friend of ours does flooring. Once I decided I had enough of the eyesore, I contacted him explaining that I was ready to get it done. He came over and we picked out the new flooring. He was so sympathetic and encouraging, which I didn’t really anticipate. I was grateful for his guidance and support. His guys came over today and did the work. We put carpet back in the bedroom itself, but put vinyl plank in the bathroom area. When they were done, it looked so nice, fresh, clean. I had taken a lot of things out of the room and closets to give them space to work. So now I can take my time sorting and  organizing, before things go back in. It feels somewhat liberating – moving forward in a positive way.

I Found God today getting a clean, fresh space.
