♥ Word art Wednesday ~ anything goes ♥

It's been a very very long time from I blogged anything here on my Christian blog, sometimes I just find it difficult to write a post, so I thought I would share a card and join in with the ladies over at Word art Wednesday and I think you will agree this card says it all.
I just love this embossing folder and it is just simply embossed onto pearl card stock, also I think this would be beautiful to frame and would make a perfect gift for someone special, I must keep that idea in mind ♥

Thanks for taking time to stop by
Blessings ♥

♥ Psalm 128:1-2 ♥

PSALM 128:1-2  {AMP Bible}

Blessed (HAPPY, fortunate, to be envied)  is everyone who fears, reveres and worships the Lord who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments.

For you shall eat (the fruit) of the labor of your hands; happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) shall you be,and it shall be well with you.

♥ Jesus loves you ♥

When I was a little girl, I was sent to Sunday school from the age of three :)
I always knew about Jesus and how much He loves me ♥  I love this rubber stamp so much!... really it says it all :)  
Jesus does love you and He died for you!
and on the third day arose again so that we can have eternal life with Him ♥


Matthew 18: 1-4 {Amplified Bible}

1) At that time the disciples came up and asked Jesus, Who then is {really}
the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2) And He called a little child to Himself and put him in the midst of them,

3) And said, Truly I say to you, unless you repent {change, turn about} and become like little children {trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving}, you can never enter the kingdom of heaven {at all}.

4) Whoever will humble himself therefore and become like this little child {trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving} is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.



Have a blessed day and I trust that if you don't know Jesus as your personal Saviour that you would ask Him into your heart ♥ trusting in Him with child like faith and you shall be saved. 

♥ Word art Wednesday ~ #116 ♥

I decided to make another little piece of art for Word art Wednesday challenge.  This time I went with a tag instead of a card.  A beautiful message stamped on the kraft card and two hearts with a lovely red pearl on the top.  I always love having wee tags like this to give to people :) ♥

Thanks for popping by & blessings!

♥ Word art Wednesday #116 ♥

Today I have another card to share with you with the message "Jesus loves you"  :)  and if you simply ask him into your heart you will receive His free gift of salvation and the assurance of eternal life with Jesus forever ♥
If you don't know The Lord as your personal Saviour, maybe today you would be willing to make the most "important" decision in your life.  People will let you down, but you can be assured that the Lord will never let you down.

John 3:16

King James Version (KJV)

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I would like to share my card with Word art Wednesday challenge and I hope you have a blessed day ♥

♥ Word art Wednesday #115 ♥

Hi again ... second post of today :)  I made this lovely card for my prayer group and would like to share it with Word art Wednesday challenge.  This verse I personally find very encouraging, uplifting and comforting.
When I was on Diane's Daydream design team this was one of the digi download sets I received for being part of the team and I really love them :)  Diane if you are reading this post I do hope that your ankle is healing and getting stronger everyday!! :) ♥

♥ Battling our thoughts ♥

I was reading this very encouraging post from Bible love notes and it is powerful!!!  Scripture is our weapon in battling intrusive and negative thoughts and thinking  {2 Corinthians 10:5}  which we as Christians battle, the more we equip ourselves with the armor of God  {Ephesians 6:13}  and saturate our minds with Scripture, holding up the powerful shield of faith that the Lord gave to us  {Ephesians 6:16}
Then we are ready for battle!! quenching all the wicked darts of the evil one.
I heard John Hagee say .... read the end of the book!  We win!! :)

We read in " Corinthians 10:5 .... "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." {NIV}

Take time daily to memorize a Scripture, everytime a negative thought comes keep speaking the word of God over and over in your mind, say it out loud, write in on a piece of paper, pin it to "the fridge" 

Here are some of my favourites:

Colossians 3:15 {Amp}

And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ’s] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always].


Psalm 94:19 {Amp}

In the multitude of my {anxious} thoughts within me, your comforts cheer and delight my soul!


Isaiah 26:3 {Amp)

You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because He trusts in you.

Have a blessed day ♥

♥ A prayer for when I can't sleep ♥

I love popping by Rachel Wojnarowski inspiring and very uplifting blog and I popped by today and this was a prayer I really needed.  Sometimes when we lie down to rest and sleep all the hustle bustle of days events, past weeks events, wondering about tomorrow, jumping weeks and months ahead in our minds, the "what if's", the "oh no's" .... etc ... This is an amazing prayer for bedtime and remembering to rest in the safe arms of Jesus as he is Peace and will calm our minds and soul if we allow him.
Thank you Rachel for sharing this prayer and blessings to you!
If you haven't read Rachel's blog, why not pop over for some comforting inspiration from this lovely lady ♥

Have a blessed day ♥

♥ CHRIST lives in MY HEART ♥

I made this card to enter into a Christmas challenge and when I had finished making it the sentiment really "popped" out to me.  I noticed that the true meaning of Christmas and salvation. "CHRIST" lives in "MY HEART" ♥ is what stood out. Christmas is a time to remember and celebrate the birth of Our Saviour and I feel sad that it has become so comercialised, I try my best to switch off from all the gimmicky Christmas advertisements and conversations I hear on how much people spend on gadgets and material things etc ... I just remember how thankful I am to have Christ as my Lord and Saviour and He is the most precious gift anyone can have and it is free to those who ask???

Here are a few Scriptures to share ♥


Ephesians 2:8 {King James Bible}
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves;
it is the gift of God

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jeremiah 29:13
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. ♥

Today is the beginning of advent and could also be a new beginning for you too. Having eternal life through Jesus Christ by accepting his free gift of salvation
and everlasting life. ♥
