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!

Hanging Monkeys


Happy Wednesday!

This week I have another card made with Heartfelt Creations' Monkeying Around Collection! These little monkeys are so cute!




The images are all colored with pencils and mineral spirits and cut with the matching dies. Being able to die cut them makes it easy and fun to put scenes together! The papers used for the mat, oval and sentiment were all taken from the Monkeying Around Paper Collection.

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

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday #274-275 - Anything Goes

Thank you for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!

    This is so precious! I hope to go to a stamp show in two weeks (where Heart Felt will have a display) These stamps are going to be on my wish list.
