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!

Beautiful Sunrise Lilies


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for me to share another creation using the Sunrise Lily Collection! This week I have a fairly clean and simple card for you using lots of white which is a style I really like!




I love this Eyelet Oval Die and think it showcases the beautiful lily swirl images perfectly. The images were colored with pencils and mineral spirits and then cut with their matching dies. The sentiment is stamped directly on the oval and then the lily swirls were "popped" on the oval around it.

There is lots more inspiration on the Heartfelt Creations Blog this week so be sure to take a look!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday #220 - Anything Goes
Tuesday Throwdown #281 - Layer It Up

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!
