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!

Thankful Petunias


Happy Wednesday!

It's time again for me to share a card with you using Heartfelt Creations' new Classic Petunia Collection!

This week I'm using one of the images from the Classic Petunia Bouquet Set along with one of the small petunias from the Small Classic Petunia Set. Both have matching dies to cut the images.





The images were colored with pencils and mineral spirits. The "frame" was created with the designer papers using a die from the Cut Mat Create 2A Set to cut the center away. The green background is also paper from the collection that I stamped the sentiment on.

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see what the designers have for you this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenge:

Word Art Wednesday #282-283  Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!
