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 Wednesday Inspiration

Happy Wednesday!





This week I made a card using this beautiful arbor from the Twining Roses Set.  This stamp is SO pretty!  It would be great for weddings or invitations!  I love the iron gate with it too!

I've been doing lots of lavenders and greens and whites lately, hope you're not getting sick of it!  I just love the look of it all!

Make sure to visit HC Blog for all the beautiful creations the Design Team has come up with, you won't be dissapointed!

Blessings!
