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!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and were able to spend time with friends and family!

Today I have a card I made using the Garden Romance Collection to show you!





This is such a pretty image of the mailbox with flowers from the Special Delivery Set and it goes perfectly with the sitting bird from the Brookside Manor Set.  All are colored with Prismacolor Pencils and popped up with pop dots.

Please visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the gorgeous creations from the design team this week...so many wonderful ideas there!
