Hi! I’m Karin
Welcome! I’m a blogger and DIY fanatic. The purpose of Renovated Faith is to inspire and equip women to transform their house into a home while demonstrating how God offers hope to transform our hearts. Anyone can renovated a house but only God can renovate our hearts.
When I’m not spending time with my husband Jeremy and daughter Morgan, you’ll find me refinishing furniture in the garage or watering plants in my greenhouse. Some of my favorite things include Dr. Pepper, my electric sander and my Aggie ring.
After seminary, I had the privilege of serving in full-time Adult Education Ministry and Women’s Ministry. However, my greatest opportunity for growth has been through my daughter Morgan. In becoming a mom, I can begin to see the depth of love that our Father has for us…
Through Renovated Faith, I explore the transformative power of God to help us reach our greatest potential in Him. God never leaves a project half-done…He continually works on each one of us, as a lavish expression of His amazing grace.
That’s what the Christian life is. It is a process of transformation that can only be done by His Hands.
Although I am fabulously flawed, my hope is that you will be encouraged, challenged and blessed to see how God desires to transform us to be more and more like Him. Anyone can renovate a house, but only God can renovate your heart and mind.
I like your give away. I hope I am included. Things weren’t working too smoothly.
But I really like your concept. I am a diy and upcycler myself. And I do love Jesus! Thanks for doing what you do!
So glad you like the blog and yes you are included in the giveaway. Thank you so much Lois!
Karin,
I have a friend, loves Dr. Pepper and loves her Aggie ring too! I’m writing to ask permission to use these scripture printables in a silent auction we do at church. The proceeds to go missions. I will have my boys use water guns to squirt diluted water paints onto water color paper and then print one or two of these out on paper. I’ll understand if you say no, I just thought I’d ask. A lot of these printables are for personal use only, I believe that the people bidding at church would be using it for personal use. Thanks!
Lanny – You can certainly use the printables to use as an auction item for missions. I appreciate you thinking of me and I hope your event goes well!
I am very interested in up bicycling as we can use the old and make into something new.
I came across this site today and I’m really excited. However, I wonder if the site is still active. I don’t see any postings beyond 2017.
Still very active Clara! SO glad you are here! 🙂
Interesting I found your page while at an Aggie Educator Network conference! Someone must be saying something! 😉
I initially stumbled across the podcast post. Thanks for the new ideas!
You’re kidding! Small world. Thank you so much for sharing and taking the time to comment. Gig ‘Em and God Bless Dani!
Paint instead of chalk paint…in this posting would you still use this technique when painting over a stained and varathaned old oak table?
Yes, but I would use an oil based primer just to be safe. I like Zinsser Cover Stain. Thanks JoAnn and let me know if I can answer any other questions!
