Be Joyful

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the PEACE OF GOD, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7

These are verses I memorized years ago and they are written on my heart. There are times when I still need to remember not to be anxious, but I eventually listen to my heart saying these verses. I didn't really understand what the "peace of God" was until I experienced it. It's having peace inside you, even when you're going through heartbreaking situations and trials. It does "surpass ALL understanding" and you know it comes from GOD alone. Praise the Lord for His wonderful promises!


I love, love, love what I do. I am passionate about the things I create and the talents God has placed in me. I SO appreciate the time you take to look at my things and the comments you all leave me!

Blessings to you!

Heartfelt Creations - So Grateful for You

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for some inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!




For my card this week, I used more of the Sun Kissed Collection in orange and green.  The beautiful border on the bottom is from the Sun Kissed Fleur Border & Corner Set that was stamped with black and colored with pencils.  A second flower was done and glued on top of the middle flower.  The sentiment was heat embossed with green directly on the designer paper from the Sun Kissed Paper Collection.  The orange leaf swirls were made using the Gift Ensemble Dies.

For more inspiration, please visit the HC Blog to see all the gorgeous creations by the designers this week!  So many talented ladies!

Blessings!

Kathy
