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!

Owl of Us Tree


Happy Wednesday!

This week I have a card for you using the Sugar Hollow Collection!  This is such a cute collection of owls and I love this little tree!





The tree and owl were colored with pencils and mineral spirits and cut with their matching dies.  The white card mat behind them were partially embossed with the Wire Fence Embossing Folder and the sentiment was stamped on the un-embossed portion.  Another fairly simple card to make!

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

I'm submitting this to the following challenge:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #294-295 - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!
