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!

So Special Tropical Toucan


Happy Wednesday!

This week I have another card made with the Tropical Paradise Collection, this time using the beautiful toucan image from the Tropical Parrots Set.





I colored the toucan image with pencils and mineral spirits, so much fun coloring! After coloring it I cut it with the matching die and popped it onto the white mat that was embossed with a folder and a sentiment stamped on the bottom.

Here is a little close up of the image for you.




Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the design team this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenge:

Word Art Wednesday #280-281

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!

Blessings,

Kathy
